In many character articles, the character notes in the trivia section, include the meaning of the character's name. I was thinking: What if we stopped listing the name origin under "character notes", and instead added a new trivia subcategory called etymology?

For many characters, the only trivia that we have about them, is the meaning of their names. However, I, personally, think that the label "character notes" is a bit misleading for most of the character names, because, let's face it, most of the characters have names whose meaning is not related to the character or show in any way. Sure, there are some characters whose names are related to who they are on the show, such as Regina Mills, Mary Margaret Blanchard, Ruby, James, Dr. Whale, Belle, Cora, Walsh, Zelena and Lily, but most of the names, do not have a meaning or origin that says anything about the character. Personally, I think that a trivia subcategory called etymology would make the trivia in our character articles, look more tidy and better organized.

So... What does the rest of you think? Should we continue to list the name origins under "character notes", or should we call it "etymology" instead? If the majority of the users prefer to continue to list it under "character notes"; it is perfectly fine with me. But I thought that we should at least discuss an alternate way to do it.
