I almost completely forgot about Lady Bow! I'm thinking just like Bobbery, Grodus and TEC, the name of this article should also go by what she is commonly called. I regret I didn't realize this earlier. She goes by the '''"Lady"''' title by most Boos but she'd also be referred to as such without it. -[[User:Jude da Dude]] 10:05, September 11, 2024

:Depends whether "Lady Bow" or "Bow" is used more frequently, but even just glancing at the page makes it seem like "Bow" is probably more common. Of course, we should check more in-depth. [[User:Technetium|Technetium]] ([[User talk:Technetium|talk]]) 13:40, September 11, 2024 (EDT)

::Actually, [[Bow (disambiguation)]] exists, which would mean Lady Bow would be changed to Bow (character). She is definitely called Bow more often, even in the SPM Catch Card (whereas Flurrie and Bobbery have their full names), but it might be better for her to stay an exception.

:::Not necessarily. According to [[MarioWiki:Naming]], "If there is one subject that is clearly more likely to be searched for or linked to than the other(s), then the prominent subject will keep the original title while the rest use identifiers.", and I'd say that could apply to Bow, especially since [[Bow]] already redirects here.

Coming back to this, it seems the reason she's sometimes called Bow and sometimes Lady Bow in the original Paper Mario is that in Japanese she's sometimes called レサレサ and sometimes レサレサおじょうさま. The latter isn't really a name though, so moving to Bow could make sense. The only issue is the Catch Card, but SPM has some issues with consistency with the first game anyway (ahem, [[Merlumina]]).
