Is it possible to create a series of names, based on the translated names in wikifang, that fit within the 8-char limit? I want to try and have less ugly Denjuu names in v16.
040 Cryarm
055 Cotinus
060 Cryride
113 Crysnipe
123 Cryburn
158 Cryarmor

Umm, I tried but there are some which really cannot fit into 8 letters (e.g. Noriutsugi, Shellstera, Wormiterala, Spearneedle and many more). Is it okay for some to exceed the limit of 8?

You mean chopping some shorter and compacting others, right? D: Like "Noriutsu" or "Shelstra", etc...?
It puts us right back in the same place as the bootleg, but I guess there's really no way around it at the moment... ;__;

I'd prefer ugly to mangled anyway. :/
Like Kimbles said, if we don't care about messed-up names we can just play the bootleg.
Good luck, anyway.

I mean grabbing the meaning behind the name and recreating it for 8 letters, or shortening it, but not by just cutting it off at the 8-char mark. I intend for this to be better quality than the bootleg.

How about this:
Crypto, Cryarm, Cryride, Crysnipe, Cryarmor(Cryptoknight)?

Aaah, to be honest though I agree that shorter patch names would be better, and I don't think there's any shame in using them now since we have been exploring the other options and are really just waiting on finding someone with assembly knowledge? D: *sigh*
That said, after putting together the list of names, the last thing I want to do is go through and break them all... >_>; So indeed, I support the idea, but would rather stay out...? *nod*
So... how do you plan to shorten, say, Hagumanoki? XD

I can totally see myself with a sign that says "will design website for VWF and/or tile decompression".

Cotinus? Haguman? Pick one.

If it wasn't nonsensical I would pick "Hagunoki" because I think that sounds adorable. >___>
"Cotinus" is probably best, though... *cringe* Because it's what it looks like to japanese players? D; *wince*
...Hagumanoki is my favourite denjuu name... XD *sigh*
Edit:
Here's a list of which Denjuu need renaming... XD

019 Freesia? *cringe* Uh.. no. Lapeir? Lapirosa? Even worse. *bangs head on desk*
027 Hydran?
167 Ornith?
Gah! This is so difficult.
