Forum:Crocodile's Name

I still think it's Sir Crocodile, the Sir being his actual surname. His introbox in Chapter 540, page 15, says so. I even read the RAW scans of that page and saw the "Sir" as part of his name, so it's not just translation issues, but it's his full name. So please transfer everything back to "Sir Crocodile". It seems reasonable. Yatanogarasu 21:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)



I have proof that the surname is "Sir". --Yatanogarasu 00:32, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

In a SBS as translated here, it is explained that the Sir in Crocodile's name is the same as the honorific Sir.Mugiwara Franky 08:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * "Sir" is a title, such English titles can't be translated into Japanese. "Mr" and "Miss" are likewise examples on english titles and are not translated either. It works both ways since "-Sama" and "-Chan" can't be translated into english properly. One-Winged Hawk 19:12, September 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Just because it's derived from the English honorific doesn't mean it's not part of his name. We have a confirmed case of a character who has "chan" as part of her name rather than an an honorific, after all. Even in real life there are people who have the surname "Lord", which is also a title. 75.76.213.106 22:17, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well if you read the original Japanese raws when he is introduced you can see that his name is spelled　サー•クロコダイル chapter 155、 the Japanese site when introducing him also calls him サー•クロコダイル: http://www.j-onepiece.com/chapter02/story/story5_1.html. Characters occasionally, including Nico Robin, call him サー•クロコダイル. I was inclinded to think that this was only a title as a Royal Shichibukia until I read chapter 540 in the original Japanese, which still introduced him as サー•クロコダイル. Having the title Sir after being revoked of his status as a Shichibukai. Also this isn't a title of the Shichibukai at all. When Jinbei is introduced, his name is simply stated as ジンベエ not サー•ジンベエ. Most of every Japanese sites also refer to Crocodile as Sir Crocodile. So why is there no mention of the Sir on his page. So yeah I agree Mr.S 14:50, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also that SBS does not prove your claim at all. All it proves is Oda likes to joke around when answering SBS questions, something everyone pretty much already knew.

 * In the data book there is no sir, and it is likely that it is a title not a surname like the Dr from Hiluluk in the same link you provide. Concerning the SBS, if it was its surname, I'm pretty sure Oda would have said it clearly instead of making a joke. maybe we can add the sir to the list of the epithet so that there is a mention of it in the page.
