Talk:Minnie Mouse

Re: proposed title change
I’d like to point out that the story never refers to Minnie by her full name, hence the current title. WaltK ☎  23:00, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree. If you have two members of a family, you don't use the surname accompanied by the for name. To give an example, if you were to refer to Jo Grant and Clifford Jones after they married, you would refer to them as Jo and Clifford Jones. The same principle applies here. 📯 📂 23:04, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We would not call Jo Grant "Jo Jones" unless stories actually give us that name (which in Jo's case is not an issue). Generally speaking, we can't presume a character's name based on conventions we assume they would follow. In this case, if we retain "Minnie Mouse" as the title it would be for the purpose of searchability--and since it's based on real world knowledge, this would be conjectural. 05:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I've moved forward with the rename, but on the basis that the line from the DWU story does imply the last name and that "(Disney character)" was a ghastly dab term; it is conjectural.


 * (Also, it's worth noting that in most actual lore from their own universe, Mickey and Minnie are coincidental namesakes belonging to two unrelated Mouse families, who are dating. Not a married couple.) Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:57, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
