BUR #31108 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias yoshino_(date_a_live) -> himekawa_yoshino
create alias natsumi_(date_a_live) -> kyouno_natsumi

As above.

@ OP, in the future for a BUR you should specifically use the "Request alias/implication" button at the top of the screen, just under the navbar.

As for the BUR, according to the wikis these are revealed further in the series. I'm not sure *how* for relative to the entire series it is, but if it's a significant part then having the full name as a main name may be problematic from a spoiler aspect (this isn't always an issue per se though).

Those names are revealed very close to the end -- specifically, the last two main volumes of the light novel.

The family names themselves aren't specifically meaningful as plot points or shared with other major characters, so I wouldn't call them spoilers. It could be considered a minor spoiler that they even have family names, since they are both introduced before it is revealed that (almost) all Spirits were originally human, but you'd probably have to be reading into it pretty hard, since other Spirits have full names from introduction and there's never a big deal made about it.

In the anime, those names are never mentioned at all, though the anime did not adapt the last arc in which the LN reveals the names, so it's possible a future movie or something will do so.

Therefore the full names are probably not significant enough spoilers to avoid as tags for that reason, but might not be common/well-known enough to be the main tag either. It might be better to alias in the other direction.

BUR #31279 has been rejected.

create alias himekawa_yoshino -> yoshino_(date_a_live)
create alias kyouno_natsumi -> natsumi_(date_a_live)

Alternative.

For what it's worth both yande.re and Zerochan use the full names (with aliases in the former case). date-a-live.fandom.com uses the full names as well. Konachan and anime-pictures use the short names with copyright qualifier.

The full names seem to have enough traction around the 'net to give aliases some utility, though someone searching for them would probably figure out what to do after not getting results.

If we are to have aliases, I don't personally have a strong preference for which direction. From a consistency perspective, there are other date a live characters with only one name, though they are from spin-offs. All the main-story characters have full names, AFAIK.
