Talk:Peony McGill (Prime Earth)

N8, here. I wanted to open up a short discussion regarding the punctuation of Peony's heroic moniker. In her debut, her alias was mentioned twice. Both instances were exclamatory, and thus "Star" and "Blossom" were stacked with the former on top of the latter in the speech bubble. And the two words were separated by a hyphen. In this way, it would seem that her moniker is "Star-Blossom," rather than the "Starblossom" used here.

As for how "Starblossom" came about, I imagine it could have come from the idea that sometimes words are cut off due to space and thus split with a hyphen. For instance, if I typed the word "propaganda," and the word was dropped into a space (like what is done for books or newspapers), and if the word was the last of the line, it may be split into "propa-ganda" with "propa-" on the original line and "ganda" starting the next line. Is this the reason "Starblossom" as one word was used as her moniker here?

I ask about this whole "Star-Blossom" versus "Starblossom" punctuation bit because there (a) technicalities weigh on my mind and (b) because there is no real evidence either way to prove definitively which punctuation is correct. Because the moniker was not used in a standard text bubble, we cannot see whether it would pressed together into one word or left punctuated (ala "Spider-Man" style).

If the punctuation (until later appearances prove definitively one way or the other) can be open to a vote, I personally lean toward "Star-Blossom." For me, I saw the hyphen, and I thus want to use the hyphen. That's where I stand, but if we could have a democratic vote about this issue, I would be up for that, if no one minds too much.N8THGR852 (talk) 15:07, June 27, 2019 (UTC)N8THGR*52

I could swear I called her Star-Blossom on the page, as that's the only attested spelling.--Tupka²¹⁷ 22:00, June 26, 2019 (UTC)
