Correct name/spelling for Tarble?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

The word "Piccolo" isn't a pun.

In this instance, I will make an exception and go with Tarble. By the way, what ever happened to Daimaô/Simmons? I have not seen him post in quite awhile.
He's still around.

It is nice to see you among the living and working is a good thing in light of the economic troubles that is occurring. Now back on topic. If you get a spare moment, could you share with us what you consider the proper spelling of the little Saiyan Prince’s name?

I'm literally never going to get the theme for this show out of my head. It seems like it's going in near constant rotation... "Go Mighty Orbots!" It's worse than "Plantman".



As far as the original topic is concerned:

I'd go with Table or Tarble. Both are fine with me. Hell, I don't have any problem with Tahble what with the long 'a' sound and all. The only one of the names that really bother me is Bulma, for reasons that were already brought up in this thread.

As would Trunks, Bra, Drum, Cymbal, Tambourine, Piano, Nappa and Bardock. ;)

It's a toughie. I don't prefer Tarble, because the pun is lost, and I don't prefer Table, because the pun is swallowed up within the more common definition of the word. Tabble is right out. Ta'ble and Taable as well.

All things considered, I guess I (less-than-enthusiastically) lean toward Table, and let the director figure out how they want it pronounced.
