Should the page be renamed to Daisy Johnson? Since the beginning of Season 3 of Shield, this character uses her birth name Daisy Johnson and the name Skye is only used occasionally. Fitzaby (talk) 14:39, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Are you prepared to merge her with the comics Daisy, who has a different mother, origin story, adoptive parents, etc? If not, I recommend some way to differentiate them. There still seems to be a lot of disagreement in the fandom about which name to use, so possibly a combination would be clearest? -the old briar pipe (talk) 01:59, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for responding. :) A combination is a good idea. Is there much of disagreement anymore though? The ship names are confusing I suppose, Skyeward and Skimmons are still used as ship names even with the name change - that causes some disagreement. But from what I notice, Tumblr, Reddit, and Wikia seem to use Daisy Johnson more than Skye. The Skye tag on Tumblr is full with non-Agents of Shield content. And it's very clear in canon that it's Daisy now, not Skye. Perhaps a good idea would be to include an overview of the name confusion in the article. And yes a comic overview should probably be included before a name change. I'll see if I tweak the article but no promises. :) Fitzaby (talk) 09:05, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
I agree to a combination and to an overview, definitely! I would just suggest being careful in the overview not to over-generalize, as there are some shipping politics in the name change (which has swapped sides, oh joy), so we get that washed up from time to time on the AO3 side. It's definitely still a topic that has the potential to flare up. -the old briar pipe (talk) 07:48, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
A combination (and redirects), along with an overview of the two names, sounds like a good plan to me. --MPH (talk) 12:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
