#{{User|DrBaskerville}} While the proposal makes a compelling argument and isn't wrong in any of its assertions, Peach and Daisy share so many similarities in so many different regards that unless we're changing the name of Peach's page, which I don't think we should and which you acknowledge would be a harder case to sell, then I think both should include "Princess" in their page names.  I consider "Princess" as much a part of Daisy's name as "Prince" is to [[Prince Mush]], [[Princess Shroob]], [[Queen Bean]], [[Princess Lipid]], [[King Bob-omb]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Queen Bee]], [[Queen Nimbus]], [[King Nimbus]], or [[King Boo]], etc. (and believe me the list goes on), not just a title that is oftentimes associated with her, like referenced in the "King Bowser" example in the comments.  While the naming policy discourages titles in article names, we can hardly rename King Boo's article to "[[Boo]]", King Bob-omb to "[[Bob-omb]]", Queen Bean to "[[Bean]]", Queen Shroob to "[[Shroob]]", etc.  There are sometimes when exceptions need to be made, including in cases wherein the titles essentially become their "main" names, which I think includes the cases of Daisy and Peach.

#{{User|PrincessPeachFan}}: Shall we move all the other articles to not use royalty titles.

#{{User|TheUndescribableGhost}} The princess name is still pretty common. I mean sure, Daisy is pretty unprincess-like, but it's not like that title is as rare as [[Rosalina|Princess Rosalina]] is. It's like if the SpongeBob wiki went to change Patrick Star's name to Patrick, because it's more common to call him by his first name. I mean, it's not like I don't don't that on Lumpypedia where where Russell the Pirate and Splendid the Flying Squirrel use shorthand names, but that was because of how quickly they were retired while Princess still has enough. It reminds me of the Koopaling situation.

#{{User|Nintendo101}} I think the arguments raised about other characters are a little dishonest - Daisy is a way more ubiquitous character in the franchise than King Boo or Queen Bee, and the point of this proposal is just that "Daisy" is more commonly used in isolation. That is never done with any of these other characters, and it is silly to suggest that this proposal would lead to all characters with royal monikers being truncated. However, I would not be comfortable with a rename like this unless one was also raised for [[Princess Peach]]. If this proposal was adjusted to allow for that as options, I may change my vote.
