Talk:Jeanne d'Arc (video game)

I think we need to rename this to match Wikipedia's usage -- Jeanne d'Arc (video game) -- so as to prevent potential confusion with Joan of Arc. Opinions?

We should definitely match the capitalization of the work name. Adding the media type makes it easier to create a disambiguation page later.

Vote to rename.

Jeanne is a French woman, I always found confusing that her name was anglicized in English sources. I know she is a saint and a hero, but this lingual transmutation was always weird to me. I always thought only individuals of a royal bloodlines had their names trans mutated in such a way.

So I vote to this rename. The work must be distinguished from the individual. And the old title become a redirect to the page we have about the woman.

"Joan of Arc"/"Jeanne d'Arc" is a mangling of her real name created by Englishmen who misread the records, first applied to her nearly 25 years after her death. Wikipedia has a good article on it, and I tried to sum it up on the Joan of Arc page under an entry for Non-Indicative Name. In short, her real name was "Jehanne" (a Middle French name which would some time later evolve into "Jeanne"). Her father's surname was Darc, without the apostrophe (or Tarc, or Dars, or Dart, or any of a half dozen other forms found in the records), but she never used it as her surname. At her trial, she testified that the tradition where she grew up was for girls to use the mother's surname, which in her case would have been "Romée" or "de Vouthon", both of which her mother Isabelle used. Jehanne herself only used her personal name, or "Jehanne la Pucelle" ("Jeanne the Maiden").

Anyway, I didn't/don't expect anyone to object, but I'll let things got for a little while longer just to be sure.

Go with the rename.

That's four for the rename, no objections, over the course of a nearly a week. Going ahead with the rename, and turning the original title into a disambiguation page.
