Alpha Bitch My Old Friend has a certain charm to it (that one should probably be renamed for sounding too much like dialog anyway).

@Fighter-two-pages-ago : The character it is named for is at least the trope it describes, which The Mario was not. That's the main reason I pushed for changing The Mario and against changing The Libby, even though both are believed to "be working".

The Libby has the advantage of being named after someone who is consistently the trope. At the same time, it has the massive disadvantage of probably 80-90% of people who see the title's first reaction being "the who now?"

Elle, by that logic I might as well go rename The Captain to The Janeway or something. The Trope Namer being an example is a neutral fact, while it not being an example is a con.
