How would one go about tagging two characters that have the same name by the same person?

lisa_(feline_humanoid) and lisa_(tiger) are both owned by ForbiddenFruit (FA Link, humanoid pics, tiger pics ). They're completely different characters, but they share the same name, and I can't figure out a good way to retag to fit the standard name_(owner) format.

Geez, the only other instance I know of this is Tepigfan101 naming two of their most drawn characters "Axel" (axel_the_tepig and axel_the_bulbasaur), but <name>_the_<species> might not be a great solution to generalize here. Then again, there probably isn't a great solution...

Hmm, anthro versus humanoid. I guess _(humanoid) and _(anthro) won't work because they're not just alternate forms. That kind of sucks. :(
_(humanoid)_(forbiddenfruit) is getting kind of ridiculous, haha!

The name_the_species format should be avoided in favour of the more common name_(owner) or forename_surname.
However, if those aren't an option, then the name_the_species format can be used.

In this case, since the name is used by two different characters by the same character owner, it can be named lisa_the_catgirl and lisa_the_tigress.
If for whatever reason there is another Lisa who is also a catgirl/tigress that is owned by another person, then you can name it as lisa_the_catgirl_(forbiddenfruit) and vice versa.

And before anybody asks, it is not that uncommon to use the name_the_species_(owner) format though it would be a mouthful and should be avoided if there are better alternatives.

If you ask me, it's the character creator's fault for not giving them a way to easily differentiate which one's being talked about, making us have to figure out clunky solutions to clean up their mess...

The bulk update request #9205 is pending approval.

create alias lisa_(feline_humanoid) (28) -> lisa_the_catgirl_(forbiddenfruit) (0)
create alias lisa_(tiger) (40) -> lisa_the_tigress_(forbiddenfruit) (0)

Reason:

Seems to make the most sense to me. Adding the owner suffix to avoid the unlikely but possible need for a retag.

The lisa_the_catgirl and lisa_the_tigress format should take priority since they aren't occupied by another character yet.
