Better name?

Judging by previous names for SB's Papers, shouldn't we call it Newer Paper, or New New Paper? USER:Sbemail Checker Dan

First of all, be aware that this character has no official name. When something like this happens, we usually pick a name that describes the character in such a way that everyone that reads it thinks "Ohhhh, THAT character!" A good example is Visor Robot, which we called because it was a robot with a visor. "New Paper" is called "New Paper" because that's what Strong Bad called it in the paper. Someone chose the name "Letter Paper" for this one because it looks like a letter. If we called it "Newer Paper" or "New New Paper", there's a risk of confusion with New Paper (and if Strong Bad goes through several papers over the coming weeks, things would get a bit silly: New New New New Paper anyone?). I say stick with Letter Paper for now until an official name is given (although it should really be called envelope paper...). – The Chort 14:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
