Talk:Trafalgar Lami

Family Name
Let me guess, we won't consider her to be "Trafalgar Lamy" until/unless we receive confirmation in a later chapter or SBS. Or should we do it now? 01:17, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I don't mind changing the name to "Trafalgar Lamy". However, I'd like to know which one, "Lamy" or "Lamie", is her name, since both versions were used in the translations. 01:26, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I changed it for you

Joekido (talk) 01:33, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I believe Lamy is the more correct one. Just a feeling, probably the "y" over "ie". But doesn't this bring up the "Donquixote Corazon" and "Byrnndi Byojack" businesses? 01:44, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

We can discuss Corazon and Byojack on their respective talk pages. 01:47, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Siblings don't always have the same last name. Besides if we're going by how the name is then the last name would be Law since Trafalgar is a western style name. Just like Rob Lucci. The other page has to be deleted now to move it back. We are supposed to discuss it first. SeaTerror (talk) 01:51, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

ST, this is pretty clear that Lamy is the sister of Law, and the child of the same parents, so her family name would obviously be the same as Law's. 01:54, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I can't believe you decided to side with Seaterror Yatan, it was fine to give the name Trafalgar to Lamy

Joekido (talk) 02:09, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I didn't side with him. I just asked should we change her name. With all due respect, I think it was more plausible to wait until we talked this through before doing it. Jade asked me to turn it back so we can officially discuss this before changing the page. 02:13, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

We can change it. Unlike the previous examples, we know they're biological and we know Lamy isn't a codename like Corazon. 02:22, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I'm in favor of that. But what about Byojack? We should change him as well if we change Lamy. 02:26, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Then let's do it.

Joekido (talk) 02:29, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Any more objections? If not, this becomes Trafalgar Lamy, and that becomes Byrnndi Byojack. 02:31, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

"Besides if we're going by how the name is then the last name would be Law since Trafalgar is a western style name. Just like Rob Lucci." SeaTerror (talk) 02:33, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I don't have any objections to changing Lamy to Trafaglar Lamy and Byojack to Byrnndi Byojack. 02:34, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

@ST, was that an argument or just a quote? 02:45, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

That is my argument. I just requoted it since people since to have missed it. SeaTerror (talk) 02:46, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, but I thought everyone knows as an unspoken fact by now that the family name comes first in OP. Monkey D., not D. Monkey. 02:56, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

That's the point. If it was like that on all names then it would be Lucci Rob or Newgate Edward when it's obviously not how it works. SeaTerror (talk) 02:59, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Whenever was it stated that Law is his family name? If there's no source of it, then his family name would be Trafalgar, following the usual tradation of One Piece. 03:03, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, edit conflicts f---s the hell outta me. We know it works this way: "[Family Name], [Maybe the D.], [Given Name]". The entire Monkey, Portgas, Gol, Nico and so many others are like this. Now, we are just seeing should we add the Trafalgar for Lamy. We wouldn't have to change it to Law Trafalgar, or whatnot. Just adding Trafalgar or not for Lamy. 03:05, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

My objections are mostly policy-based, that it's better to stick to what's been stated in these sorts of circumstances because if we don't, then it becomes a slippery slope and people start arguing for it in circumstances that are less and less certain than this one. This wiki has a pretty bad reputation for containing inaccuracies, and there are positive aspects to being able to say "we don't use conjectural titles unless absolutely necessary", and "the title of the page corresponds to the character's name as stated at least once in either the manga or supplementary materials". Taking that away for even one character means you can no longer make that claim.

As far as her first name's concerned, the Japanese is レイミー (Reimī), so there are an awful lot of potential spellings. Lamy, Lamie, Ramey, Remy, Remie, L/Raymee, L/Raimee etc. 04:21, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Wow, guess you make a very good point there. Can't deny that. 04:26, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, Zodiaque makes a great point there. I haven't known how to feel about these name conflicts (so I haven't posted on them), but that seals the deal for me. This is why I voted him for admin. 04:29, October 3, 2014 (UTC)
