Sliders Wiki talk:Character Double Naming

From Sliders Wiki, a database for Sliders the television series that anyone can edit

Suggest or discuss a naming convention

Possible Naming Conventions

  1. The name given by the Sliders/Writers
  2. The name of the character suffixed with the name of the episode: "[Character] ([Episode] double)", ex. "Rembrandt (Summer of Love double)", "Quinn (Eggheads double)"
  3. The name of the character suffixed with the double's Earth of origin in parentheses, ex. Quinn (Einstein World)


Naming convention Advantages Disadvantages
The name given by the Sliders/Writers Canon Doubles are rarely given a unique name
The name of the character suffixed with the name of the episode Easy to name and remember A few doubles of the same character have appeared more than once per episode, ex. Daelin Richards
Some character doubles have been in several episodes, ex. The same Quinn double appeared in the pilot and The Other Slide of Darkness.
Character and World of Origin Unique Name of World must be decided first

[edit] Discussion

I think this wiki should use the name given by the Sliders/Writers where possible and option three when it is not possible. -- a_morris 01:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
