I like the idea of having a list (with links) of various titles given to the Mother of God; but if I cuold suggest that perhaps it could be given a title that anglophone people would naturally understand? Perhaps 'Titles of the Theotokos'? — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 22:24, January 23, 2008 (PST)
:Hi, I understand your point about 'Anglophone' people understanding it .. however, a lot of the English language is by far based on 'Greek' ... Theotokonymia is a legitimate english expression ... as are all word relating to 'phobia' etc. I think its not too good to deviate away from this word since this is an Encyclopedia for Orthodox not for cultures - though is not "Theotokos" universal as is "panagia" ... These are my thoughts ... I hope that the decision is to maintain this word ..it truly is unique to our Panagia ... [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 22:29, January 23, 2008 (PST)
PS, Theotokonymia has never been attempted by anyone in the world (a) in an Encyclopedic manner ... and (b) in English. Should you atttempt to look for a complete list of Panagia's names - you might stumble on one or two ... but they are in Greek and certainly do not have Encyclopedic style material/paragraphs linked. OrthodoxWiki is the first to attempt this in English ... and possibly in any language ... It is exciting and most definately relevant to Orthodoxy ...in my opinion more relevant than complete listings of monasteries (as most Internet sites attempt to do) ...
