I couldn't very well call her "the other Nanako," because the Nanako from GE∑TMoP was already "the other Nanako," and calling her "the OTHER other Nanako" would just be confusing and unwieldy. I was considering Nanako' (Nanako prime), but that would, again, apply to TMoP Nanako, and Nanako (double prime) would have looked even weirder.

Clearly I should have called her "Nanako ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)," with TMoP Nanako being "Nanako ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)."
