Which requires Lyra getting a proper name, and therefore the master previous known as Gold needing one for parity. All while Silver is still unnamed since you still name him. There's really no way to win here; Silver sounds silly but reinforces 20 years of fan terminology, while a proper name would be appropriate but even more suddenly upend that.
Kris can cheat for being booted from the remakes and any rendition of the name short of "Crys" being both a proper name and a pun at the same time.
