Talk:Thriller Bark

It's Name
I'm not 100% sure is "Thriller Park" isthe anme ofthe island. I've seen other names like "Thrillerberg", and "Thriller Barque" (スリラーバーク Surirābāku). Does anyone have any ideas?

 * I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Thrillerberg", based on the typical Japanese pronunciation of "berg". It's definitely not "park", as there's no "p" sound in it, but I've seen many people disagreeing... I'd say just go with "berg", but if you don't want to, I'd wait for Stephen's translation to come out, as many people seem to think it's the most accurate. ^^ --Murasaki 07:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, looks like Stephen's using "Burke", which seems to work nicely, so I suggest going with that. ^^ --Murasaki 02:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * But Thriller Park sounds right. It looks like another Enel/Ener/Eneru debate. Thriller Park makes sense, especially if Oda is trying to point at something. Perhaps it being a sort of haunted house style place, could be a reference to theme parks such as disney land or carnivals, both of which usually offer a "scary" attraction, which is really smoke and mirrors, which could be what the island is, a trick from the person in charge of the island. Of course that is translations aside. Thrillerberg is ok, it comes close, but I'm not sure Barque is even a word. If we need to vote I'm saying Thriller Park. Cody2526 11:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It can't be park, based on the kana. The kana use a "b", not a "p".


 * Burke:

 * Barque:

 * Those are both possible, I'd go for one of them. I prefer "Burke" myself, since it's not a boat, but either one works great with the kana. "Berg" is possible as well, but the other two work a lot better. --Murasaki 21:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
