CAP 7 CAP 7 - Part 13b - Name Poll 3

[Wilson]

Foxtrot

Anything is better than that wapanese awfulness

 

[Griffin]

Kitsunoh, even if only to keep out the incredibly tacky Foxtrot.

 

[Deck Knight]

Kitsunoh for the win!

 

[Sceats]

voted foxtrot, but why not phoxtrot

 

[Kaxtar]

Kitsunoh is the best, no questions asked.

 

[Iron Bidoof]

Voted Kitsunoh. Not because I dislike the name Foxtrot, but it just isn't fitting for the appearance/typing. Kitsunoh sounds like it should be the Japanese name, though.

 

[Veedrock]

I thought Foxtrot would be doing a lot better than this. I want a simple name ;_;

 

[LuistheNinja]

Voted Kitsunoh for only one reason, I hate Foxtrot lol.

 

[Nietzsche]

I don't like either of them. Voted Foxtrot as the lesser of two evils.

 

[reyscarface]

Foxtrot FTW

 

[foibles]

pretty bad names, but the kitsunoh one is better.

 

[ball00nboy]

Kitsunoh isn't a good name for an English pokemon...it's a reference that most people wouldn't get...

Foxtrot

 

[Deucalion2]

Voting Foxtrot, because the Wapanese is best to be avoidest. This was probably the worst CaP name poll, though.

 

[dijin]

Foxtrot I agree with several people that the Japanese should be avoided.

 

[kaonohiokala]

If we're honestly going to consider naming it "Kitsunoh", I think there should be a poll between "Kitsuno" and "Kitsunoh". I'm sure a lot of people would prefer a more Japanese name than a Wapanese one. Honestly, romanization is the worst thing that can happen to any foreign language.

 

[TVboyCanti]

Kitsunoh. It might be tacky and obvioius, but Foxtrot is downright inappropriate.

 

[Blazebat]

With a name like Kitsunoh it has to be good.

 

[Onii]

Um, isn't it Romanized anyway?

Besides, I'm pretty sure Deck Knight explained the significance of the "h" (see OP).

On another note, I really do not understand the knee-jerk "Wapanese" bullshit (quite a large number of voters, not picking on kaonohiokala in particular). Yes, it references a foreign language, so what? Are we going to label names with Latin and Greek roots "Watin" and "Wreek" now? IMO, it's completely unjustified and downright racist.

 

[Shelcario]

Foxtrot, most suiting for this pokemon.

 

[hydrolphin]

Voted Foxtrot. But either way, we will probably have our worstly named CAP... The only good name this year was Fauxfox

 

[Objection]

Kitsunoh has a mysterious sound to it that Foxtrot does not have.

 

[benthenoob]

I really think the whole name thing should be re-done.
Most people seem to agree that both are pretty bad name options

When CAP8 comes around, it might be a wise idea to ask for what people want in the name before submitting one.

I'm not specifically talking to you ben.

 

[Olie]

Seriously though... Foxtrot is not the kind of name you give to a ghost type. It's a dance for god's sake.

Voted Kitsunoh, since it's cool 8)

No, just the loud people with no skin in the game, who either couldn't come up with one or couldn't get support.

A few people always have themselves a whinefest over every other poll or so. I sincerely doubt we'll get anything out of a "what's in a name?" thread.

Actually, I think we had one before. And absolutely nothing came out of it.
