This trope is currently named after a work. Just from reading the title it seems to indicate something more like My Nayme Is than the actual trope definition.

I propose Transliteration Trouble as a replacement; it conveys the trope's meaning more clearly and also has Added Alliterative Appeal.

Is this one of those rare occasions where the trope gets to keep the main and the work is relegated to the namespace?

Fight smart, not fair.

Do we even have a short story namespace? And of course, was anyone actually planing to make a works page for this particular story? Call me Mister Cynical, but topics that go, "Oh, there's a problem that wasn't a problem at all until I brought up it, but fortunately I have this astonishingly clever and apt name that can fix it." tend to smell of gaming the system to me, something I find... distasteful.

Short stories would fall under the Literature/ namespace.

When was the work published? If it's a recent work, then throw it in the Literature/ namespace.

-edit- 1958. Hmmm. It's not a well-known work, so I'd still support Literature/ placement. Maybe a paragraph explaining the apparent Trope Namer?

It doesn't matter if there isn't the page for the work yet. Ask Eddie. Naming exactly for the work is just confusing.

Doesn't look like there's been any momentum for a change, then. Can we get this thread locked to get rid of the TRS notice on the page?

Dead threads is not a reason to lock.

Maybe. It seemed most people don't really want to change the name; you really think we need to go through the formal crowner process?
