Excellent question! (And "Triston" is fine; kind of funny we're also trying to figure out what to call me.) There are some other name things we should probably settle on, too.

I've never thought about "Hakase" versus "the Professor." Looking back on things I remember writing, I seem to prefer "Hakase," but will throw in an occassional "the Professor" to avoid being repetitive. I think we should ask GangBunTu and anybody else active lately (if there are any). I can't decide right now, I'll have to think about it. Which to you use when you think of her?

As for other names:

Should teachers be referred to as "-sensei," or as "Mr./Ms."? I've always used the -sensei, largely because that's the way it is in most subtitles when I watch it.

Should students other than Mio, Yuuko, Mai, and Nano use their first or last names? To me, the characters are named Sasahara, Annaka, Nakanojo and Sekiguchi; not Koujirou, Haruna, Tsuyoshi or Yuria. But at the same time, Sasahara keeps getting blown up by Misato, not Tachibana. BUT, her sister Mihoshi is a recurring character, and they can't both be called Tachibana, so that inconsistency works for me.

And how do we spell young Aioi's name? Yuuko, Yukko, or Yūko? I prefer the first, and it is the name used in the title of her character page.

By the way, I'm from the USA.
