Talk:Soon Soul

From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Name kana

We definitely need some kana for this mess of a name. — Canary

Not sure what you mean? There's kana in the article: スーン・スールズカリッター suun suuruzukarittaa. I would love to know what the hell their intention was with it though — is it meant to be a real name, or did they just invent it out of the blue? If the former, what is it? I searched for some time online but i couldn't find anything. ♥ kine

That so? Could have sworn there wasn't any katakana there at all when I posted that.

If I may try. The first name can be written many ways (Soon, Soun, Soune, Sune, etc.), but the last name I'm proposing is "Suhlsgarichter", the proto-germanic. (Suhl + garicht). WalkerEmp 22:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Should we rename the article to "Soun Soul"?

Official policy is to have the character's most recent official name. In book 5 it is mentioned after his encounter with Bewcock that he would later officially change his lastname to be the first four letters of his lastname. However the novel is a secondary source. On the other hand it is possible that in season 3 he is referred to as Soul, or he is given a nameplate that just contains the first four letters of his last name. I will have to verify that.

Turns out he is indeed referred simply as "Soon Soul" from LOGH: 'The Battle of the Corridor: The Invincible and the Undefeated' onwards (his previous appearances had his full name displayed). Good catch! I will rename the article accordingly. Glacierfairy 15:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
