Okay, so do we really consider the possibility that the Urdaibai in Basque Country is involved in its name in any way? Just being located in Spain doesn't make it a possible origin. The double "ai" is a stretch, as it's separated by a "b", which may be just a single letter, but it completely ruins the small resemblance the name would have had otherwise. Urdaibai isn't even related to aye-ayes or graffiti in any way; for all we know there could be other Spanish locations with double "ai", among which Urdaibai isn't any more (or less) possible. I say one and a half similarities is just coincidence. Just how it was disagreed that Rowlet was named after J. K. Rowling because it's spelled similarly and her best-known book has owls as partners in it.

Okay, so do we really consider the possibility that the Urdaibai in Basque Country is involved in its name in any way? Just being located in Spain doesn't make it a possible origin. The double "ai" is a stretch, as it's separated by a "b", which may be just a single letter, but it completely ruins the small resemblance the name would have had otherwise. Urdaibai isn't even related to aye-ayes or graffiti in any way; for all we know there could be other Spanish locations with double "ai", among which Urdaibai isn't any more (or less) possible. I say one and a half similarities is just coincidence. Just how it was disagreed that Rowlet was named after J. K. Rowling because it's spelled similarly and her best-known book has owls as partners in it. Kikugi (talk) 15:43, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Urdaibai is where the Oma forest is; aka the real life painted forest that most likely inspired Grafaiai's tree painting behavior. it's different from Rowlet/Rowling because it's not like Rowling invented the concept of owls. Anzasquiddles (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
