Swap some Tekken character's "nickname" tag with real names

BUR #24382 has been rejected.

create alias bob_(tekken) -> robert_richards
create alias lili_(tekken) -> emilie_de_rochefort

I don't know why, but for some reason, these two Tekken characters has their nicknames being used as their "main" tag name, while their full names were relegated into an alias instead. Given that other fighting game characters were tagged in full names (if available), I think we shouldn't left this as an outlier.

Just curious, which other fighting game characters are tagged with full names over (if available) nicknames? The only one I can think of is Devilotte, but that barely counts IMO.

Anyways, I'm personally against this because Bob and Lili are infinitely more known (and used in official media) compared to their full names.

In forum #25624, I've already brought up the known full names of Under Night In-Birth characters, as other fighting games like Street Fighter or The King of Fighters already have their characters tagged with full name.

Even with the less-used ones like Luke Sullivan, Kimberly Jackson, or Manon Legrand who were simply referred with their nicknames in-game and within the fanbase. It is generally agreed in forum #12004 that full character names are better at disambiguate each character, wheas their nickname + franchise qualifier can be kept as a utility alias instead.

I see what you mean now, but now there's a different problem.

Aren't these just first names? I wouldn't call these nicknames. I agree that full names should be used over solo first names as main tag names, but Lili and Bob are different.

I barely remember any time in game where Lili and Bob's full names are used. At most, I *think* Lili de Rochefort was used once, but I can't find any proof of that right now.
