Talk:Sonny

Name Change?
Could someone provide me a source for the change from "Sonny" to "Sawney"? Chris (talk) 07:16, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

The recent anime episode SnK stated Sonny's name was "Sawney" rather than "Sonny", although this may just be an error in pronounciation and translation. Lucario of the Gods (talk 12:14, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

I guess the only reference we have is Hanji's story about the name being based on the head of a cannibal tribe and the fact that she didn't make up the story. 14:23, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

So this is one of those times when the manga and the anime clash. Should we do what we did with Moses/Brown? Chris (talk) 18:41, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see, I didn't notice that the story wasn't mentioned in the manga. But no, I don't think it's needed, Sawney is just a different romanization of Sonny, while Moses/Brown is to be completely different. 18:46, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Of course it's needed what the hell?The name IS from Alexander SAWNEY Bean not Alexander Sonny Bean.Get it right.Romanization doesn't matter because it IS supposed to be Sawney.Rename it to what it actually is.Fyerbrand (talk) 23:54, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Wow, you really need to calm down. The name is a REFERENCE, using a variant spelling and Kodansha USA has stated their spellings are verified by Isayama himself. Therefore, whether you think it is correct or not DOES NOT MATTER as it is how Isayama intended for it to be. Accept it, and stop being so rude about this. Your rudeness towards the moderators is frankly childish and uncalled for.

 * Acutally Kodansha made the names up themselves and are in no way "intended" by Isayama. The "approved" you talk about is nothing more than Isayama signing some document he probably didn't even look at. It is once again evident that the people from Kodansha USA really don't respect, or at least don't research the references of the names (Just like with Sasha "Blouse"), while at the same time Isayama does not seem to care about "outside Japan". Sadly, at the end of the day it IS official, so even if it is most likely not what Isayama intended, it will still be the name used in this wiki.NeoSuperior (talk) 05:34, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * True, but "Blouse" IS a real name.  h fc 2 X  06:11, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * That was not the point ("Sonny" is a real name as well after all). The point was that many names are obvious references to real life persons, sayings, myths, etc., but Kodansha is either not caring about it, or sacrificing it to instead match the spelling to the Katakanas' pronunciation.

 * "...or sacrificing it to instead match the spelling to the Katakanas' pronunciation." < That sounds about right, I mean... Carla Yeager, dafuq? 12:29, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Good thing we didn't get "Alumin" and "Eruvin", tho.  h fc 2 X  18:15, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
