Talk:Ochanoma Papa

Name
So why "papa" should be his name and not a general "dad"? As far as I know it's pretty common to use "papa" and "mama" for calling out parents.

Isn't "pa pa" literally his name? It's not just a translation of father. It has been a while since I saw this one though, could be wrong.

I don't know, then why isn't "pa pa" then? That's why I'm asking for a precise reference and not a general "in the movie". As far as I remember the kids only call him papa, so why that became his name instead of simply being the word for "dad"?

Because he's listed in the credits as お茶の間パパ and there's no need to translate Papa further as it's already English. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 23:55, June 27, 2017 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, that's a start, although that leads to two other questions:
 * 1) If that's how he is listed, why the page is not called "Ochanoma Papa"?
 * 2) Still, are we sure to use that as a name? I mean, if the credits list "pirate #1" or "inhabitant #3" we don't assume those are their names.

If that is how he's listed, we should update the name. As for the names of other characters, the issue is that this page is way more important to the movie than other characters. If we go with "Ochanoma Papa" or whatever the translation is, I think that will be sufficient. 13:24, June 28, 2017 (UTC)

Ochanoma seems to refer to his pirate crew, Tearoom Pirates. Ochanoma = Tearoom. I'm not really convinced "Papa" is his actual name either. 18:19, June 28, 2017 (UTC)
