There seems to be disagreement about whether this Sim's name is a deliberate play on words/ a pun. I think it seems pretty plainly clear, at least to me, that the name is almost definitely a deliberate pun. But, since there seems to be some disagreement about the point, let's discuss it instead of edit warring about it. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 00:03, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

:So, I don't really mind either way but I'd like to defend myself here. When I saw that the information was removed I undid the latest revision but Joshuanl30 removed it again and threatened me. For what it's worth, I think his name is meant as a pun but I don't want to upset anyone so I don't care if it's removed.

I don't think so, as Payne is a real name. [[User:Joshuanl30|Joshua]] ([[User talk:Joshuanl30|talk]]) 11:33, February 14, 2018 (UTC)
::Maybe we could settle with a compromise and change the sentence to: ''"His last name '''could be''' a pun on Pain."'' After all it's hard to factually confirm this kind of thing, while the possibility is still there. - [[User:KailynnKat| <span style="color:#910b0b; font-variant:small-caps; text-shadow: Silver 0 4px 4px;"> '''KailynnKat'''</span>]][[User_talk:KailynnKat|<span style="color:#910b0b; text-shadow: Silver 0 4px 4px; font-size:11px">''(talk''</span>]][[:Category:Fanon created and owned by KailynnKat|<span style="color:#910b0b; text-shadow: Silver 0 4px 4px; font-size:11px">''/fanon)''</span>]] 00:45, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Is the name a pun?

There seems to be disagreement about whether this Sim's name is a deliberate play on words/ a pun. I think it seems pretty plainly clear, at least to me, that the name is almost definitely a deliberate pun. But, since there seems to be some disagreement about the point, let's discuss it instead of edit warring about it. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 00:03, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

I don't think so, as Payne is a real name. Joshua (talk) 11:33, February 14, 2018 (UTC)
