Umamusume Character Name Qualifier Standardization

The thing is, with horse girls having the same name as real life horses, it makes sense to use a qualifier. It makes less sense for original characters.

Sometimes we do it for just for the standardization, even when there are no conflicts. Like for example topic #16412, where some of the characters of Girls und Panzer were given a qualifier, even though there were no name conflicts for some of them. This makes tagging easier, as there's no need to wonder whether or not a qualifier is needed, and no need to monitor other copyrights for an impending name conflict either.

At the end of the day though, we either do this or we remove the qualifiers of every originally-named Umamusume character with no name conflicts. My vote is obviously on adding the qualifier rather than removing it.

While I can see where you're coming from, I'm pretty sure we're going to have more Obey Your Master types of situations in the coming years to be honest.
