That's a different case tho. If anything, this discussion should result in a ''new'' template for Christine Summerfields, separate to Christinas. I presume that was a typo, and you meant to say "First Christine Clone"? As they are not, as far as I know, based off Christina Cwej, only off the blonde girl and Chris Cwej. And, as I stated before, the reason to name them cardinally (specifically, arabically) instead of ordinally is because the cardinals "First" ect '''make them look like incarnations''', which they just ''aren't'' (and yes, I've read [[Dead Romance (novel)|Dead Romance]]). They're iterations of the "Christine Summerfield Project" (or whatever), sure, but they aren't incarnations of each other - there isn't a continuity of consousness. But more importantly, it isn't useful '''useful to readers''' to cover the 5 Christine Summerfields as incarnations, because even if one could argue it on a very technical and pedantic basis (the argued would be wrong, but it could be made), that wouldn't be helpful to readers as they would, by default, imagine [[First Christine Summerfield]] turning into [[Second Christine Summerfield]] in some way, which very certainly does not happen.

::: In ''Dead Romance'' each clone was specifically created first, second, third and then forth, and killed in that order too. I don't think that having them named to reflect this order is in any way confusing. Although maybe they could be turned into ''First Christine Summerfield clone'', etc?
