Talk:Big sister

                                This is the talk page for the article "Uchi".

This page was created to talk about the renaming and moving of the "Uchi" article.

Hey everyone, it's me, Sundae2Cat! I really think that this article should be renamed. Uchi is just a random Japanese word that roughly translates to "Big sister'. For starters, we could at LEAST think up of a English word for this personality. Uchi villagers are go-getters, and they will try to assist the player, but are also tomboyish and carefree. I was thinking that diligent would be a perfect name, because Uchi villagers are tough, efficient and adventurous and once befriended, committed to player, and the town's well being. If you disagree or have better ideas for the name of this personality, feel free to contribute to this article. - unsigned comment from Sundae2Cat (talk • contribs)

Hi, and welcome to Nookipedia! Unfortunately, we had this discussion before and rejected a move because of a lack of evidence. I think Uchi is the best name that we've got, personally. Drago (talk) 11:20, October 7, 2018 (EDT)

Renaming Uchi to Sisterly

I also think it should be renamed to Sisterly.

1. It's not given an English word like the other personality types.
2. In fact, even the given Japanese name is incorrect, with the correct term likely being some variation of 'ane' (an older sister). The term uchi originated from someone on the Animal Crossing Wikia who is known for being a massive chuuni.
3. With the release of New Horizons, more new fans are getting into the series than ever, this is the opportune time to rename as they are being exposed to the personality names for the first time. The wikia has renamed it to Sisterly, and people have already begun to use sisterly.

I'm not at all opposed to renaming, but it's case of what to rename it to. We've been down this road before. Many of the personalities were given very different names to the Japanese names, which changes the meaning substantially (e.g. Absent-minded > Lazy, and don't get me started on Jock). I've seen "Sisterly" mentioned before, but I've also seen "Tomboy" thrown around as well. The latter fits the interpretation Nintendo Treehouse has gone for, going by their general dialogue. Perhaps we could contact Nintendo and just ask them what name is appropriate? At least then we'd have a firm basis for renaming. Otherwise I think the discussion needs to focus on whichever name we can all agree upon, if that can even happen. -- Dorsal Axe (talk) 19:55, March 25, 2020 (EDT)

Adding in for context, AC Wikia recently changed Uchi to Sisterly. If we also want to move away from Uchi, I think the only reasonable option is to go with Sisterly, because otherwise we end up with three standards (Uchi vs. Sisterly vs. X) and that doesn't really help the situation. ~SuperHamster Talk 04:42, March 26, 2020 (EDT)
