Forum:Character Naming Sequence

This has been in my mind for quite some time now: I was thinking maybe we should shift all the characters' names from Western order (given name, and then family name) to eastern order Eastern order (family name first, then given name). After all, since we are naming half the stuff Japanese style (the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are in original Japanese), then shouldn't we follow through with Japanese style and name all characters Eastern order? What I mean is like: "Uchiha Itachi" instead of "Itachi Uchiha", and "Hatake Kakashi" instead of "Kakashi Hatake". Yatanogarasu 05:05, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * After all, we do name it "Fire Release" (a direct translation of "Katon") instead of "Fire Style" (English dub style). Another point, the VIZ manga retains Eastern naming order, like the original Japanese, so we really should take these into considerations and rename the sequence.

 * Now this is a step I would be against. Renaming the swordsmen swords (have we even reached an agreement there?) is not the same thing as as changing the naming order. Literal translations isn't the same as naming order.--TheUltimate3 ~Aspect of Wiki ~ 05:11, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
