Talk:Shishilian

Name Pun
While I understand that シシリアン means Sicilian and it's policy to use exact translations where they exist, it's pretty clear that Oda was going for the Shishi = Lion pun. I think it's wrong to ignore it completely, and there are two viable options: Personally, I prefer the second option, but either would be better than the current name. 104.238.45.36 12:41, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

We don't use pun-based names here, so no. Obviously the Katakana needs to be read as "Lion" in the first place and the last syllable in Shishirian (シシリアン) does not sound like a lion.

I think it's fine because the pun is noted in the trivia section. 14:44, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

We don't use pun-based names here? I see many pun-based names in this wiki.

Before somebody sites Peekatha Krotch as an example, those names are literally translated and not changed to fit the pun. 15:36, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

Well technically, it's not a literal translation. But we still use Aremo Ganmi on the wiki and note "Peekatha Krotch" as just the official english translation anyway. 04:22, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
