A very basic table of nicknames and proposed human names for OS-tans. | A very basic table of nicknames and proposed human names for OS-tans. All of these names are fanon, though the nicknames for the canon Windows-tans are canon, using them as the OS-tans' real names isn't necessarily. | ||
==List of names== | In recent years, the OS-tan verse has become westernized in much of the fanon, with many of the new OS-tans having only western names. This seems to make the Japanese names and cultural practices of the Windows-tans appear out of place, but are kept for the sake of tradition and the OS-tan phenomenon's Japanese roots. As a compromise between the Japanese roots, and the more Western-style fanon, it has been proposed to try and come up with both Western and Japanese names for OS-tans whenever possible, which ever one being used (if at all), being up to individual preference, and why not? The OS-tan verse setting is already portrayed as anachronistic, why not a cultural fusion too? | ||
