But soldier is in the definition of scout.

[(Anonymous)]

From dictionary.com, the first definition is:
1. a soldier, warship, airplane, etc., employed in reconnoitering.

But these girls are more like the vanguard, so it doesn't make sense that way either.

But you need snappy alliteration and a good flow. "Sailor soldier" sounds weirdly redundant, no?

Sailor Soldier is fine. I also like Sailor Warrior, but I realize that's too many syllables for the anime.

The new translation from Japan is Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, which I don't understand at all.

"Sailor Soldier" sounds kinda dumb to me. And "Sailor Warrior" sounds really full of itself and sets the wrong tone. The original was also intended to be cutesy, so I think "Sailor Scout" was definitely a good choice. But agree to disagree!

Re: But soldier is in the definition of scout.

This is especially hilarious since scout is a type of soldier.

Re: But soldier is in the definition of scout.

To the old fandom's credit, that's really not the connotation the word scout has in modern English. I think the chance of whether DiC chose it because of the "soldier" meaning or because of the Girl Scouts is about 50/50, but the fact is that kids and teens watching the Sailor Moon dub would only associate it with the latter.

Connotation in modern English? But we still use the word scout in the military? What else would "scout" mean? It doesn't have another meaning, the Girl Scouts took their name from that word.

I don't disagree that "Scout" was probably chosen because it sounds cuter than "soldier", which is due to Girl Scouts. But even so, the word does have a meaning, and cuteness was certainly intended in the original, too.
