The page describes the origin of the name "Zeekeeper" as a combination of "Zookeeper" and "Zee", but it seems that a combination of "Beekeeper" and "Zee" could be just as (if not more) likely. In fact, the word "Zookeeper" differs from the word "Zeekeeper" by two letters, while the word "Beekeeper" only differs from "Zeekeeper" by one letter. I tried noting this in the article, but the edit was reverted for being "pretty unlikely." Am I missing an additional factor that makes the word "Zookeeper" a more likely origin? - [[User:Gameboy97q|Gameboy97q]] ([[User talk:Gameboy97q|talk]]) 12:36, 2 February 2014 (EST)

:Yeah I see more similarities with it being a "Beekeeper" rather than "Zookeeper". "Bee" and "Zee" also rhymes as well. I'll probably fix it but I don't have the game so I don't know what this thing does. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 13:14, 2 February 2014 (EST)

Name Etymology

The page describes the origin of the name "Zeekeeper" as a combination of "Zookeeper" and "Zee", but it seems that a combination of "Beekeeper" and "Zee" could be just as (if not more) likely. In fact, the word "Zookeeper" differs from the word "Zeekeeper" by two letters, while the word "Beekeeper" only differs from "Zeekeeper" by one letter. I tried noting this in the article, but the edit was reverted for being "pretty unlikely."

Yeah I see more similarities with it being a "Beekeeper" rather than "Zookeeper". "Bee" and "Zee" also rhymes as well. I'll probably fix it but I don't have the game so I don't know what this thing does. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 13:14, 2 February 2014 (EST)
