Old school here too, but I'm willing to say Peach, and that Princess Toadstool is a title.

I think her name was always Peach in Japan, then Nintendo decided to call her Peach when Mario 64 came out in the US?
Either name works for me.

I just think it's pretty clear that Princess Toadstool is superior to Peach. That's all.

Over 25 posts in this thread and no mention of "Peach has got it!", let alone a picture?
You are slipping, GAF.

I assume Miyamoto just got sick of having the character have two different names everywhere, so he had NOA use the original character name. NOA seems content to use "Princess Peach Toadstool" as the full character name (there were a couple recent games which referred to her as BOTH Peach and Princess Toadstool).
NOA gave King Koopa a "first name" when they released SMB -- someone probably thought calling the enemy Bowser was funnier.

I call her "Princess Toadstool".
I also call Pit "Kid Icarus".
I call Eggman "Dr. Robotnik".
I call Bowser 'King Koopa'
I call the mushroom people "Mushroom Retainers".
I also say Mario's last name is 'Mario' and that he's a plumber from Brooklyn.

Shiggy invented "Jumpman" for the Donkey Kong (bad Engrish for Stubborn Monkey) arcade game. He was a construction worker. (The girlfriend was Pauline.)
NOA decided to give him more personality, so they said he was a New York construction worker, and made him an Italian-American named "Mario", which was the name of the former landlord of the guy who suggested it. Shiggy heard the name, and liked it, so he adopted it.
Shiggy invented "Luigi" to be Mario's brother, and had them become plumbers for the Mario Bros arcade game.
For Super Mario Bros (Famicom), Shiggy invented "Princess Peach" and "King Koopa".
Princess Peach was the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and NOA was worried that some local wackos might get upset at the idea of a blond-haired blue-eyed group of nobles ruling over an "inferior" race of sub-humans, so they renamed her "Princess Toadstool" to suggest that she was actually a member of the Mushroom race. She just happens to be beautiful by Mario's human standards.
NOA renamed King Koopa to "Bowser", just to be creative, and because of the spikes and collar he wore.
In Mario 64, Princess Peach wrote Mario a letter, and clearly signed it "Peach". This was part of a graphic, and not text, so NOA consulted Shiggy about changing it, and Shiggy concluded that Peach should officially be called "Princess Peach Toadstool" (title, given name, family name) in all regions, and that Bowser should be "Bowser, King of the Koopas".
As for my opinion, "Peach" is sexy and wins.

I prefer Princess Toadstool because that was what I originally knew her as.
Besides, it just makes more sense... It is the Mushroom Kingdom, not the Peach Kingdom.

Hasn't she always been called Peach in Japan? Wasn't that one of Nintendo's efforts to unify everything internationally? (Along with N64's design.)
If that's true, and I heard that it was around the time 64 came out, I now imagine it would have been because Peach ??? is far easier to katakana-ize than Toadstool ??????... blech

Haha yeah up until Smash Bros Melee I called Bowser just "Koopa." He was always just King Koopa to me, I have no idea where the name Bowser came from.
Of course, this made things confusing when playing Super Mario Kart....
Also, I didn't even realize Peach was her name when I first started playing Mario 64... you know how she writes a letter about baking Mario a cake, and then signs it 'Peach'? For a long time I thought that was the type of cake she was making for him
