I too completely support this. There's no good reason not to have these names as titles anymore, and leaving out names from novelisations goes against our goal to cover all media, effectively diminishing coverage of the character. Especially since some characters named in novelisations have their backstories significantly expanded. It also is a rather weird exception to the rest of the usual naming rules that stands out, when the page uses a name but the title an ambiguous term. And of course, any unusual cases can be discussed on their talk pages.

I also want to add my support for this. Any unusual discrepancies can (and should) be discussed as and when they arise, but there's no reason to treat novelisations as a whole differently to other media just because of that risk.
