Talk:Hootenanny

What is the source of this name? - 16:43, 6 November 2007 (EST)
 * There is no source, and she certainly doesn't seem to be enough of a major character to have her own page. BTW, is there any actual evidence that she's female? - Kahran042 14:47, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Name?
Is this wiggler actually called Hootenanny? If so, we need a source. Zakor1138 (talk) 01:54, 8 May 2013 (EDT)
 * "Hootenanny" is the name of an event, but according to the comments above, there seems to be no source for her name (or her gender, apparently, but if it's really her name, I guess we can infer from "nanny" :P)

 * I'll look into this tomorrow (well, technically, later today) and see if I can verify it. I didn't feel like waiting. I just played on the board for a bit, and unless the Wiggler is named in the physical game manual, this Wiggler doesn't have a name (it just says "hootenanny" two or three times in its dialogue, and it's not listed under the "Characters" section of the Operations Guide). 01:24, 9 May 2013 (EDT)
 * I added a conjectural template to the article, then. 19:40, 9 May 2013 (EDT)

I found the official name from the Japanese Wikipedia article: ハナチャン which is Wiggler's Japanese name. The gender is left ambiguous though, but we can infer that it's just a regular Wiggler.--Tailikku1 (talk) 18:59, 8 September 2014 (EDT)
 * But how is this evidence that the name is ハナチャン? Where did Wikipedia get that information? Anyhow, with the conversation revived somewhat, I kind of think this should just be merged with the Wiggler article. Do other unnamed "enemy" NPCs from Mario Party get their own article? 02:05, 9 September 2014 (EDT)

Rename
Wouldn't it better to rename the article to something like "Milk Shop owner"? After all, just because she says Hootenanny doesn't mean it's her name.
