Better name?
Judging by previous names for SB's Papers, shouldn't we call it Newer Paper, or New New Paper? USER:Sbemail Checker Dan
- First of all, be aware that this character has no official name. When something like this happens, we usually pick a name that describes the character in such a way that everyone that reads it thinks "Ohhhh, THAT character!" A good example is Visor Robot, which we called because it was a robot with a visor. "New Paper" is called "New Paper" because that's what Strong Bad called it in the paper. Someone chose the name "Letter Paper" for this one because it looks like a letter. If we called it "Newer Paper" or "New New Paper", there's a risk of confusion with New Paper (and if Strong Bad goes through several papers over the coming weeks, things would get a bit silly: New New New New Paper anyone?). I say stick with Letter Paper for now until an official name is given (although it should really be called envelope paper...). – The Chort 14:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- Yeah, i was actually thinking it's an interdepartmental envelope, not a letter. Also, when i first saw this page title, or indeed, when i'd see a page titled "Envelope Paper" i'd think it was about the kind of paper used to make letters or envelopes. I can't really think of any way to fix that though. — Defender1031*Talk 14:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't even really a paper. It's just an envelope with "Click HERE to email strong bad" written on it. But I have a feeling we're going to keep the word "paper" in the name one way or the other. free 14:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC) (This was written before the move)
- How about Inter-Department Envelope. I know we're reaching for a name with "Paper" in it, but this is only paper in the sense that envelopes are typically made of paper. It doesn't fit the narrower definition of paper. — It's dot com 15:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Jumping the gun
Aren't we jumping the gun a bit on this? We can't be sure that this is the real replacement for the New Paper, since this could (and I think it's somewhat implied that it is, since he's borrowing his work computer rather than getting a new one) just be a transition e-mail between the Lappy and whatever comes next, and thus this would just be a one-off thing to fit with the work computer theme. --ComputerBox 15:59, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
