- Oppose per WP:RECOGNISABLE and the fact that multiple reliable independent sources (of the types which are suggested by WP:WIAN) use the dual name. Given the roughly equivalent use of both Tītī Islands and Muttonbird Islands, and the fact that sources such as gazetteers and maps use the dual name, the current title is the best option to ensure that everyone who is wanting to find the islands can quickly and easily do so.

- Oppose I don't see a significant majority of sources. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Support: There does appear to be a slight favouring towards Titi islands per nominator. --Spekkios (talk) 01:01, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose There isn't enough of a majority of sources using just Tītī Islands. With the dual name in place, I suggest this is more recognisable to all readers. Schwede66 08:35, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per WP:CONCISE. Tītī is the common name; we shouldn't use slashes for alternative names like this. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️⚧️) 17:13, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
