== English name for ドット ==
There has been multiple reversions of an addition of fan translations of the real name ドット. A Japanese-only name feels out of place, though. I suggest a tentative removal of her real name in the lead section, and wait for official sources to come out. <span lang="ja">[[User:馬|馬]]</span><sub>Horse</sub> ([[User talk:馬|talk]]) 11:53, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
:Simple thing is, the name you gave was a fan translation, not the confirmed English name which we use. Only when the English name is confirmed do we add it.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 11:59, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

== Move to Dot ==

Wouldn't it be better to move this page to Dot which is the real character's name and just like with characters [[Professor Kukui (anime)|with]] [[Meyer|alter]] [[Mr. Parker|egos]]?It's not like the reveal of her identity is a huge plot twist for the anime.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 18:03, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
:I asked the other admin about this, AbcBoy replied ''I'd say it should be up to whether we see more of Dot or Nidothing in the future. For instance, if they update the official website to list Dot instead of Nidothing''--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:09, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::I think it is safe to move this page to Dot now, no? [[User:Qwerty12|Qwerty12]] ([[User talk:Qwerty12|talk]]) 18:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
:::We should wait until we get an English name for her, all we have dub wise is Nidothing.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:32, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

== Dot's romaji name ==

This has been reverted multiple times. '''ドット''' (Dot) is her Japanese name, shouldn't her romanization be '''Dotto''' and not '''Dot'''?  

From Kanshudo:
"The small kana 'tsu' symbol, either hiragana っ or katana ッ, is usually used to represent a doubled consonant, known in Japanese as a 
そくおん
促音
, as in for example ハット (hat) or やっぱり (as expected) or あっさり (readily). The tsu symbol essentially causes whatever consonant begins the next kana to be doubled, so ハット is actually pronounced something like ha-t-to."

:"Dot" is an actual name, and ''ドット'' is normally romanized as "Dot".--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#F34134">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F7837B">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#8334B7">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#AE7BD0">ire</span>]] 10:22, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
::Better explanation: We use the actual names that are being transliterated, not the Hepburn romanization of the names. ドット is ''Dotto'' in Hepburn romanization, but the actual name being transliterated here (as used as the official/trademark romanization) is "Dot".

== Quaxly? ==

Do we know that the Quaxly is actually Dot's pokemon? It doesn't seem that is confirmed anywhere. For all we know, Quaxly could be only a random pokemon living on the ship that just happens to like to appear in Dot's videos. --[[User:Nayfaan|<span style="font-family:Impact;text-shadow:0.06em 0.06em #222224;"><span style="color:#F00000">Nay</span><span style="color:#F0F0F0">faan</span></span>]] ([[User talk:Nayfaan|talk]])([[Special:Contributions/Nayfaan|contributions]]) 23:40, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
