Change name to "Axe Armor"?[]

I suggest this page to be renamed "Axe Armor". While it appears both terms ("Axe Knight" and "Axe Armor") have been used about the same amount of times throughout the series, and "Axe Knight" was the first term used, "Axe Armor" has had a tendency of being the most frequent term used in most recent games.

Not only that, but many items and gear related to Axe Armors have inherited the name too (Double Axe Armor, Red Axe Armor, Old Axe Armor, Great Axe Armor, etc.), not to mention most armored enemies are mainly referred to as "Armors" (Bomber Armor, Boomerang Armor, Bowgun Armor, Copper Armor, Crazy Armor, Disc Armor, Flying Armor, etc. - click here for the rest of the list - ).

This enemy is called an Axe Armor mostly by the Japanese version of everything. I agree to your suggestion. But isn't this incongruous for a people in an English area? Axe Armor, Armor Knight, ETC.--Kiyuhito (talk) 15:25, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
I don't think so. In fact, this came to my attention especially because every time I read the name "Axe Knight" didn't rang any bells for me. I was also checking if "knight" was widely used in other areas and I found this page, where everyone is called "Knight" alright. However, the word "armor" seems to outweigh "knight" for most iterations and enemies in the series, so I guess we could change the page's name to "Axe Armor" in future days.
Thanks for replying.
