Talk:Carlos Colón

Random thread
Isn't there supose to be "Colón" instead of "Colon"? (the o changes to ó)
 * I've changed all redirects as to point to "Carlitos Colón". Changing "Colon" to "Colón" is understandable (there is, indeed, a big difference... better to pass as a descendant of Columbus than as a large intestine...), but the "Carlitos" part most United States readers won't necessarily be aware of.

The Headline name...
He is always known has Carlos Colón, not Carly. The one who is known as Carly is his son, Carlito(Caribbean Cool). I think the name should be change so that it's stays true to how the puerto ricans came to know him by and that is Carlos Colón.
 * I agree, and this deserves a vote... Demf 16:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree also, and growing up in Puerto Rico I know that everybody here calls him Carlos Colon, even Carlitos Colon was a more appropiate name.

 * I sense that "Carlos Colón" should be the entry's name. If no one objects, I'll change it myself soon. 136.145.192.75 15:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Name clarification
I see someone previously mentioned "Carlitos Colón." On the WWC broadcasts that I've viewed tape of (mostly from 1985-1987), Hugo Savinovich repeatedly refers to him as "Carlitos" rather than "Carlos." My limited grasp of Spanish tells me that in reality, this would make him a junior, not a senior. Namely, "Carlitos" translates to "Little Carlos" and is the preferred term to a Spanish speaker than "Carlos, Jr." Then again, like I said, my Spanish is not that great, so feel free to correct any of this if it's wrong.RadioKAOS (talk) 04:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
