I did give some thought to this so far and it's really hard to say. I mean on one hand, Saki and Tatsuo don't really identify as the same person. Saki's aware of who he once was but he still says he's Oroku Saki. But Splinter identifies himself fully as Hamato Yoshi. But then again the Turtles don't refer to themselves as who they were before (partially because they aren't fully cognizant of their thoughts and feelings from before). And then there's the fact that they don't have names from Japan... I don't remember who said it... Tom? Erik? Somebody on The 'Drome and I think the letters page said they'd get names if it was important for them to, but IDW's been super inconsistent with that. Why did Bishop's father not get his full name revealed but his nurse did? It's weird. I'm not fond of order/color son or really any other naming convention for them, and also it would be terrible to call them Hamato Yoshi's sons as an article name. They're Tang Shen's sons just as much!
