Name

Should he be named Styrbjorn Olafsson? V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 01:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, however, we don't know whether his last name will have one "S", like Sigurd Styrbjornson, or two, like Ubba Ragnarsson, even though Ragnar has no "S" in any part of his name. Until we find out when ACV releases, I think we should wait before renaming. – Darman (talk) 03:10, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

What if ACV or Song of Glory don't use a patronymic? Personally I'd vote for not adding one if it doesn't explicitly appear in the media. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:52, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

I'd say to wait. If and only if ACV, ACV:SoG or ACV novel use the patronym then we add it to the article name. Otherwise we can always include those on BtS sections. - Soranin (talk) 13:17, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Where did we even get "Olafsson"? It still appears in the SoG navbox. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 09:11, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

The comic writers made a boo-boo, in SoG 1 Styrbjorn's father is named as Olaf, while in the game via the Ship Stories his father is Sigvaldi. V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 09:14, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Isn't it obvious? He had two fathers! Though, I doubt Ubi would say that out loud if it were the case. We should put the discrepancy in Behind the scenes. Also, shouldn't we change the page title to follow standard set by with Eivor, Sigurd, Dag, etc? – Darman (talk) 19:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
