Names from the Mother Encyclopedia
First (since I don't know much about this encyclopedia), is this encyclopedia an official product? Just double-checking.

Second, what other otherwise-unnamed things have names in it? Miles ( talk)  13:45, 3 April 2011 (MDT)
 * Well, according to the book's back cover, it is © Nintendo and Shigesato Itoi, so I'd say that it is considered as (at least sufficiently) canon. The book is quite cozy and provides with some really obscure tidbits of information, like the characters' length and weight, so I'd actually recommend all of the Mother fans out there to purchase a copy when they get the chance. :3

And there are unfortunately not that many more locations/other stuff with specified names. There are a few ones which have different names when romanized, compared to that of the game (which merely can be made use of as redirects). Some examples are that Lloyd's name is spelled as "Roid" (don't know if that really helps us that much with the name issue) and that "Ana" is spelled as "Anna". I can list some of the more interesting ones if you'd like to.

And then there's some individual referred to as Goldrich Duncan who supposedly lives near Thanksgiving (I'm thinking Duncan's Factory), who is mentioned in one of the few texts in plain english. Linky.
 * Pippi's Mother = Mrs. Lindgren
 * Cemetery = simply referred to as South Cemetery and Cemetery
 * Crystal Cavern = Magicant Underground (I've been asking about this on the page's talk page, actually)
 * Ruins in Yucca Desert = simply Ruins of Desert
 * Swamp = Swamp Land

If you'd like to have a more visually clear understanding of what I've mentioned, I'd be glad to do some scanning. I can however not contribute much more than uploading images from the book, as my knowledge about japanese (which the texts are written in in more than 95% of the time) is severely limited. This Kenisu person has done some pretty cool work with translating the content of the book, however. ~ Sun Braid 13:16, 4 April 2011 (MDT)
 * Sounds good, Sun Braid. Keep up the good work!  Miles ( talk)   13:34, 4 April 2011 (MDT)

Japanese names
I am in fact, incredibly overjoyed that someone other than me can translate/add Japanese names. I went through most of the ones you did real quick to double-check translations, and I think you did a good job. Just letting you know that! lol. 17:38, 29 April 2011 (MDT)
 * Thank'ee! Though I really can't state that I'm extraordinarily good at it; online dictionaries help me out a lot. The puns for many of the enemies in M3 would surely in several instances take me hours to figure out. But glad to hear of your overjoyness and that I managed to do a decent work. ~ Sun Braid 06:48, 30 April 2011 (MDT)
