Talk:Charlotte Basskarte

Name
The Baskin-Robbins and tarte portmanteau seems like a stretch. バスカルテ does come up with Basskarte, Japanese for "bass clarinet". It wouldn't be the first Charlotte to have a music name rather than food [See: Opera's siblings]. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:15, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

I agree, seems like a stretch Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 18:32, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

Basskarte makes more sense to me, as well. --JouXIII (talk) 19:46, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

I think this makes more sense tbh: "Bascart" 20:47, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

"Baskartte" in itself doesn't seem accurate given that the name doesn't have a double t syllable and isn't actually a word - google searches of the word just go to this wiki. So we may want to opt for renaming the page too.

And I don't think Bascart is the name, because that would be pronounced with a -to syllable at the end rather than a -te. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:52, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

Oh I didn't see this. I temporarily fixed it. It is incredibly stretching trivia. SeaTerror (talk) 23:59, March 16, 2018 (UTC)

Bascart makes more sense in the trivia than an ice cream chain. 02:41, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Can it also match basket? Like a basket of bread that most restaurants serve. SeaTerror (talk) 16:39, March 18, 2018 (UTC

"Basket" doesn't account for ル (ru). Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:53, March 18, 2018 (UTC)

Viz used Bassquarte, so it's possibly a portmanteau of bass (バス) and quartet (カルテット). I support renaming to either Bassquarte or Basskarte. In any case the name seems music inspired, none of the food connections sound very convincing. Baskin-Robbins trivia should be removed. 17:39, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

I support Bassquarte Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:58, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

I have found "Bassquarte" used in obscure German texts about music. If we figure out the Dosmarche reference, it might provide a clue. Barring that, I support "Basskarte". Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:09, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

March (the page has a section about Japan). And "Dos"=2 in Spanish, but there are also other possibilities. Rhavkin (talk) 21:11, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

Baskartte means bass clarinet as already stated so Bassquarte is flat out wrong since it means nothing. SeaTerror (talk) 22:10, March 19, 2018 (UTC)
