Talk:Shyarly

"Madame" or "Madam"
Why having redirected "Madam Shirley" to "Madame Shirley"? Since Shirley is an English name, I can't see any reason to use the French word, have I missed something? sff9 (talk) 13:49, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, KingLuffy1 and I accidentially made a page for her at the same time. He spelled his without an E and I spelled with an E (this page). Since mine was already organized with completed sections, we agreed that it would be easier to just use mine rather than go through the hassle of redirecting it to a page that already exists (a MAJOR pain in the butt if you aren't aware), so he made his a candidate for deletion. If you want full details, check our talk pages under Madame Shirley. Either one is acceptable when refering to fortunetellers so there really is no problem.DancePowderer 16:27, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, wasn't aware this was even slightly annoying! Didn't know Madame was used in English either. Well, thanks and sorry to have bothered you! sff9 (talk) 22:09, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

While it is traditionally French, it does have some uses in English, and no worries, bro. You didn't bother me at all.DancePowderer 22:36, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Romanization
I think that Shirley is a wrong romanization because when the Strawhats leave the fortuneteller's place, there is the beginning of a name written, which is SHYAR. So I guess it is more something like Shyarley than Shirley.LordRayleigh 14:31, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

True, and you are most likely right, but we don't know if that is actually the building they came out of. It could be something else. It is best to leave the name as is until we have a better confirmation.DancePowderer 15:52, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

However, shouldn't this page be named simply "Shirley"? In addiction, doing in this way we would remove the problem "madame vs madam". --Meganoide 00:47, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

It might be part of her name. When she was outside going crazy about Luffy destroying the island, some guy said "It's madam from the Mermaid Cafe." That would suggest that Madam is part of her actual name, and not just a job description.DancePowderer 05:53, January 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you know "madame" refers to a proprietress of a bar or something in Japanese? --Klobis 06:08, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

I did not. I knew it was the title for fortune tellers and brothel managers, but not a restaurant proprietress in Japanese. Still, she has never been refered to as just "Shirley."DancePowderer 06:29, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
