Poll tiem! \o/

[candyland]

Discussion of dub names in last night's entry led to a comment discussion which inspired a pointless poll. Just couldn't quite help but wonder what y'all think. I know my opinion...

[Poll #1152444]

Comments

Mace Fuller is made of win *and pr0n* so that is why Julian Starr gets worst name!!!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I have to go with Julian Starr myself. But I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone else thought. We'll see what happens~

[ayaia-moon.livejournal.com]

Ya know...Ash Ketchum should be in here. :D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...honestly? That never struck me as being as bad as the two in the poll XD

[ayaia-moon.livejournal.com]

As a matter of not getting the name even CLOSE to the Japanese original, tho

:P

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Not saying it does ^^ But...it could be worse~ ^___^

[rasgos-76.livejournal.com]

there is nothing worse than julian between the two. There have been much worse dubb names~ XD but I'm not going through everything I've watched XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

See, my vote goes with Julian. Comparatively, Mace Fuller has just enough humor to it that it's...ALMOST redeemable. And also the pornish quality. Must not forget the pr0nzor possibilities *wisenods*

[rasgos-76.livejournal.com]

lol I love 'Mace Fuller' because it has so many possiblities with it...

oh, man the things we could do with it XDDDDD

Julian is just... so plain, and you can't do anything with it... its so... normal... DX

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Like I told someone else, Julian makes me think of food. Julian fries, orange julius...Mace Fuller at least has "bad pr0n" potential.

[cherelle-holmes.livejournal.com]

Since i never watch CCS i'd say... Officer pornstache >3

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'm not asking based on what you've seen. I'm asking based on which name, if merely presented, is worse XDD

[cherelle-holmes.livejournal.com]

even if i would have seen CCS i would still vote for the prOn officer coz' its made of so much (porn)horribleness!!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...and you can't figure out why I always tease you by asking for really dirty fanart when you ask for requests? *laugh*

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

Mace Fuller internally causes me pain. So I had to vote for that =/

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, the reaction to that news was delightful on your end ^^;;

[alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com]

Mace Fuller beats Julian Starr any day... Definitely. *brain bleeds all over again*

XDD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Oh for goodness sake...stop that, brain! *bandages again*

[kuririnchan.livejournal.com]

My vote's for "Harley Hartwell," but it wasn't a poll option. >.>;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...I thought Harley was comparatively decent. Besides, at least that name leaves an opening for lots of "riding" jokes :D

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Julian Star all the way. Mace Fuller almost sounds cool. Julian Star sounds like the name to a kid that got beat up for his lunch money.

And I'm still trying to figure out where they got "Wilder" from. Were they going for irony?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

See, that's sort of what I think. The more I think about Mace Fuller, the more I think it sounds like a nickname--probably earned the hard way. Still bad, but that makes it a bit easier to swallow. Just...if only it wasn't attached to our beloved Inspector of Many Unprintable Words.

Probably the same place that "Santos" came from.

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Maybe his language to the ears is like mace to the eyes? It isn't as bad as some dub names. It has a certain ring. I just don't know, though. I think it could grow on me.

Probably a hat with names in it. Not that I don't like those names, just not on the people they gave them to.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I think there was a comment made somewhere, regarding an alternate meaning of the word 'mace,' about trying to picture Nakamori-keibu spraying in people's eyes. Brain break-age ensued *laugh* Julian makes me think...food XD

Or it was a dare to come up with the worst dub name in history. I should have included "Eli Moon," another Cardcaptors gem, in this poll ^^;;

[ytak.livejournal.com]

I kind of like "Mace." It sounds tough. Now, "Fuller," that just calls to be used inappropriately. Dirty thought, maybe Aoko's mother was the one to hit on him? "Is that a can of Mace in you pocket or are you just happy to see me?" XDDDD

Eli Moon is pretty bad, too. I think they got their last names mixed up. Julian Moon and Eli Star. That sounds a little better.

[whitetigergp.livejournal.com]

Mace Fuller, definitely worse. Julian Star actually sounds like a real name. Mace Fuller sounds like more mace in a can or a much fuller ball on a stick. DX I mentioned the IM chat to my friend today, and she came up with a name for Aoko. She said her name should be Breastsare. *shot* *dies* And where did they come up with Wilder???? I think the only decent English name they really came up with was Haibara's. Anita Haily is actually kinda cute.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...to me, Julian sounds like food. Orange julius, julian fries...at least Mace has the potential to be badass, depending on whether or not it's a nickname and how said nickname was earned. Or it could be porn-ish :D

Anita Hailey doesn't bother me so much, but I know it made a LOT of people really mad :S

[sn1987a.livejournal.com]

I'd vote Bob Smith, but that's not dub-canon. *sigh*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

No, that's just me and clover_magic goofing off. But seriously, if they managed to dub that far, I would have half been expecting Akai Shuichi to wind up with such a name ^^;;

CLICKY!
