Talk:Mighty Bomber

Sort
I think "Bomber" is the appropriate sort key because this is the name he went by. "Mighty" is a title, albeit a made-up one - back in the day a calypsonian would usually be "Lord", "Mighty" or "King". Guettarda (talk) 00:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * But "Bomber" was never adopted by him as a familial name (or surname) either - his whole title as known by is clearly "Might Bomber", and the article makes that clear in its establishing paragraph - the defaultsort surely ends up skewed if it doesn't reflect that.

 * In "Dictionary of the English/Creole of Trinidad and Tobago: On Historical Principles" Lise Winer uses "Killer, Mighty" and "Dictator, Mighty" in the "Bibliographic References" section. Within the book, she also uses "Sparrow" (e.g.) in usage examples where she otherwise uses surnames. As one of the great works trying to index and reference Trinidadian names like this, I think it would be appropriate to follow her lead. Guettarda (talk) 00:47, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
