Since keeping it status quo wouldn't change anything and is asymmetrical, I'll go over the others: | Since keeping it status quo wouldn't change anything and is asymmetrical, I'll go over the others: | ||
− | + | •Rename Cueball to Rob- Arguments: Randall gave him this name; It would offer symmetry to Megan; If the Cutie -> Megan logic is to be followed (as she was changed once named in the comics) then Cueball should be Rob; even though cueball is a generic everyman name, Rob seems more like a name you could give anyone and would be more recognizable to non-native English speakers. | |
− | + | •Change Megan back to Cutie/Cuegirl- Arguments: It would cause symmetry again, letting her have an everywoman name; nostalgia for Cueball; Megan is not always the same character, so she should not always have the name Megan | |

I happen to agree with the idea of merging Cueball and Rob, but I'm not closed to the idea of Cutie/Cuegirl. The main problem is that these characters are typically interchangeable everymen/everywomen and there can be more than one in a comic. So another question is what we should do for multiple Cueballs/Robs. In my opinion, we should have all the comics with more than one depict them as Man 1, Man 2, etc. --[[User:Sensorfire|Sensorfire]] ([[User talk:Sensorfire|talk]]) 17:04, 20 May 2015 (UTC) | I happen to agree with the idea of merging Cueball and Rob, but I'm not closed to the idea of Cutie/Cuegirl.
