Rename Pecorine -> Pecorine_(Princess_Connect!)

Posted under Tags

Probably just because it doesn't seem terribly likely there will be many other characters named "pecorine", but I wouldn't insist there should not be a modifier either.

That said, I think an alias would be better than a rename, until a good reason for there to not be an alias presents itself (at which time the alias can be removed.) Else I think it'll just end up as a common missed search.

Couldn't you apply that logic to Kyaru as well? I do think that's a good idea, and if others agree with an alias being better, I'll update the BUR accordingly.

Kyaru is a slightly more common name. Pixiv mentions four other characters that have it though I think we only have pictures of cal devens currently.

In some similar cases we handle it like, say, lilith by keeping the tag empty and making people determine which Lilith they're looking for themselves... except that Cal Devens' name is romanized differently from Karyl's and every other Kyaru is an extremely obscure character. So again, I wouldn't insist there not be an alias for her as well.

However, unlike the name Pecorine, I wouldn't be willing to bet money against the possibility of another character named Kyaru appearing in some popular anime next season and complicating things.
