Your own argument does not support what you're saying.Īgain, there's nothing to support that X is part of the Xeno- series and until there is, I would like the page to be changed to stating it's a new IP as Mr. So they were working on the title long before announcing it. In addition, Iwata actually did say that Monolith Soft was working on a new Wii U IP before the Direct unveiling it, as the date proves. Ironically, it seems to be you who is speculating. You claim there are "many sources referring to this being related to the Xeno series", yet I don't see a single one. Meanwhile I provided a source that said that it was a new IP. I did not see any citations on the page where it was said that X was part of the Xeno- series, nor have I heard anything anywhere else about it being connected besides the conjecture of gaming journalists. Monolith Soft do have a 3DS title in development, however Iwata was referring specifically to their Wii U title. Monolith Soft doesn't have the staff required to work on two HD titles at once, no part of Nintendo save Nintendo EAD if I recall correctly does. Iwata said that Monolith Soft's Wii U project was a new IP. What sources, applying to X specifically, do you have? I see none. Sergecross73 msg me 14:13, 16 August 2013 (UTC) (The Mario and Luigi article is in worse shape than I thought, so what I was talking about is better shown here: ) Sergecross73 msg me 14:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC) That's why the article remains the way it is. Conversely, there are many sources referring to this as being related to the Xeno series. ( Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, for example.) So, unless you've got a better source connecting that claim to X, this is nothing more than your personal speculation. Nintendo commonly works on games for years before announcing them. We have no idea what game they were talking about. HalberdStopCrashing ( talk) 11:02, 16 August 2013 (UTC) Look, all your source says is that MonolithSoft is working on a new IP. What he's said on the matter is more evidence than speculation, at this point. Iwata said about the game being a new IP up there until it's proven otherwise. Again, I have citations on my side yet it's insisted that speculation is taken as fact and posted on the page. But until it does, leave it as a "new IP". If the game does turn out to be part of the series, add the information. That's not concrete yet, unlike Iwata's words which hold far more weight to them than speculation. You could argue that they've said something similar with Xenoblade, and might do it again but that's just it might. X is a new IP, not connected to any pre-existing series. I keep trying to change the page to reflect the words that came directly out of Nintendo's president's mouth.

Given the closed nature of Amish society, one might suppose that Amish have genetic issues specific to an endogamous community. Most directories are updated every five to seven years. Directories are produced for a given settlement, or sometimes affiliation (as in the case of the New Order or Nebraska Amish). The directories are also useful resources for genealogical research. They are useful in keeping track of individual’s names, birthdates, and addresses. The Amish produce church directorie s which list all of the families in a church district, showing names of parents and children. These include Morrell, Briskey, Hartz, and Smiley.Īmish directories provide maps of church districts Some Amish names are no longer seen today, often because the last of a “line” may have assimilated with a higher church, or did not have sons who joined the Amish. Less common names among Amish include Jones, Girod, Phillips, Kuhns, Barkman, Kurtz, Whetstone, Bowman, and Bawell. Some of them are Germanic, others are not. Some Amish last names are more rarely seen, often reflecting a recent convert to the Amish or a “line” that entered the Amish diaspora but did not produce many male descendants, or at least not many who remained Amish. This naming convention can vary by community. A single letter, usually the first letter of a father’s first name, will serve as a middle identifying initial for all of the children, boys and girls, in a family. In many cases, an Amish individual will not have a middle name. Amish often identify one another by referring to the parent, as in “Eli’s Barbara”.Īlso quite useful is the middle initial many Amish take. “Boys” and “Beanie” are two examples of nicknames for individual men, “Bottle” and “Nip” are others denoting family lines.Ī person’s job may identify him, as in the example of “Silo Mervin” or “Printer Mo”. Often an individual may have a nickname, developing from a specific incident, or a nickname that identifies a family line. Since many Amish end up with identical first and last names, Amish need ways of telling one another apart. Certain groups, such as New Order Amish, may be more likely to give their children less traditional first names. In recent years there has been a growing trend towards more non-traditional names among some Amish. For women: Fannie, Waneta, Katie, and Sadie. Other traditional names for men include Leroy, Lavern, Mervin, Atlee, Melvin, Harley, Wayne, and Willis. Examples of common Biblical first names for men include:įor women, typical names taken from Scripture include: Common Amish first namesĪmish typically choose Biblical first names, or names with a long tradition in the particular family or community. Old Order Mennonites also have specific last names common to them, such as Martin, Nolt, or Zimmerman. Hershberger has the alternate forms Herschberger and Harshberger.Ĭertain last names are particularly common among the Swiss Amish of Indiana and other areas, and not seen so often elsewhere. Byler is a common alternate spelling of Beiler seen frequently in the Midwest. Some Amish names have alternate spellings, such as Hostetler or Hochstedler, Borkholder, or Stoltzfoos. Other frequently-occurring names in Lancaster County and related settlements include: In Lancaster County and related settlements, Stoltzfus is the most typical Amish name. In addition to these, Bontrager, Burkholder, Lehman, and Lambright are common in northern Indiana. Other common names in the Midwest include: Miller is the most common Amish name, seen most prevalently in the Midwest, in communities such as Holmes County, Ohio and northern Indiana. Some surnames are found in particular communities and regions. Traditional Amish last namesĬertain last names are particularly common among the Amish, due to the fact that certain founders in this community had oversized influence on following generations. Due to naming traditions, certain first names recur often as well. This is a result both of the Amish reluctance to proselytize, and also the difficulty of joining a group with specific patterns of behavior, language, dress, and approach to technology.Īs a result, outsiders join only rarely, and a relatively small number of last names dominate. Miller and Stoltzfus are among the most typical Amish last namesĬertain names are frequently seen in Amish communities, reflecting the relatively closed nature of Amish society. |
