Charm vs. Keychain

Posted under General

This thread is a follow-up to topic #26258, where we discovered that charm (object) and keychain are in fact two words for the same thing. Now this isn't the thing people (myself included) protested on, but more on which tag gets aliased to what. NNT said:

I'm aliasing them together for now because they're two tags for the same thing, and charm (object) is bigger. A debate on which term should be the main tag deserves its own topic with a clear title, so that more people can chime in.

So here we are. I still stand by what I said in that thread about it: that keychain was the better tag name. It's a word I heard much more frequently in real life for the concept compared to charm (object), and typically in the contexts we use the charm (object) tag for (like with bag charm). To use charm (object) instead feels really strange. So how about everyone else?
