Talk:Tish Jones

Proposed rename
Each time on television and, as far as I'm aware, in the books that Tish is referred to by her full name, she is called "Letitia Jones". Professor Lazarus calls her by that name in The Lazarus Experiment and she calls herself "Tish. Letitia Jones" in The Sound of Drums. She is, however, credited as Tish Jones. -- Saxon (✉️) 19:57, June 8, 2020 (UTC)

 * I am all for changing it. Afterall, Tish is clearly her nickname while Letitia is her formal, proper name. Snivy   ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   20:25, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * what about Ace? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎  22:06, June 8, 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, Martha does always call her Tish. But Melanie Bush is almost always called "Mel" or "Melanie Bush", but never (as far as I'm aware) "Mel Bush", just as Tish is always "Tish" or "Letitia Jones", but never "Tish Jones" (in-universe). -- Saxon (✉️) 20:32, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * Per T:CHAR NAMES, we go with whichever name is used the most for a character, regardless of what it might say on their birth certificate. The Melanie Bush / Charlotte Pollard precedent is a point, but I think it is worth noting that she introduces herself as "Tish. Letitia Jones." to her boss in a formal business setting. She may not use this name in any other context, whereas Charley insists on Charlotte Pollard unless you're good friends (and introduces herself as "Charlotte Pollard, Charley to my friends", never once as Charley Pollard). Finally, if she's credited as Tish Jones, this counts as her in-universe name, and we have only one instance of Letitia. This merits a redirect and a mention in the lead and/or biography, but doesn't seem to be the primary name for the character. 21:40, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * Where are these instances from novels? 22:01, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I phrased that misleadingly. What I meant to say was that Letitia Jones is the only full name that she has given in any media. It's not like with Peri where she's only ever Perpugilliam Brown on the show but her page is at Peri Brown because she's known as that in the books. Tish's full name is never said in any of the books as far as I'm aware. -- Saxon (✉️) 22:09, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * This conversation seems to have died down some time ago. For my money, I find SOTO's argument most persuasive: "Letitia Jones" is her formal name, but she doesn't introduce herself to people as such in any other context. Also, we don't like to stray from TV characters' credits without good reason, and in terms of searchability I'd wager most viewers will remember "Tish", not "Letitia". I'm removing the rename tag, though it can be re-added, I suppose, if strong new evidence surfaces (e.g. if Tish were to ever become a major character in some non-TV source or other, which gave wider use "Letitia").

 * I think that this is the correct decision. She is named Tish Jones on all the official trading cards. RadMatter ☎  12:57, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
