Talk:Tidal Whale

McQueen
I know that マッコイーン can be romanized as "Makkoiin," but I think it's fairly obvious that it's supposed to be "McQueen" as in "Steve McQueen." I don't want to just jump in and change such a big thing, but I'm 100% certain that this is the intended name. 24.21.173.194 13:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * His Japanese name, Tidal Makkoeen (タイダル・マッコイーン), translates to Tidal Whale, which is his original, accurate name. The whole Guns N'Roses tribute names came about, because the English translator who was suppose to be doing the localization text for X5, let his wife do it instead.

Alyson Court
I heard she was responsible for suggesting he be named Duff McWhalen. Is that true? Apparently naming them all after Guns 'n' Roses songs that husband liked?talk2ty 20:41, February 4, 2020 (UTC)
