Who is Lucas? I'm having trouble remembering...

Ah... XD; That's Lazlo. I just called him that ever since Sui 4 was announced so... I have trouble sometimes remembering to call him Lazlo for everyone else's easier understanding.

Ah, I see. It took me awhile to adjust to Tir and Riou as well, so no worries.

>__> Those names... *sigh* I can accept Riou well enough by now since I don't particularly care for him (I still want to call him Kuwan and not care about everyone calling him Riou), but... the spelling for Tyr's name... Urgh.

Tyr is more appropriate for a Gaelic originated name, yes. What's the actual spelling in Japanese? That might clarify which is correct.

I think it probably was "te" + small "i" + "ru". I can only think that's the reason why whoever romajied it spelt it t-t-that other way.

Or they just know nothing about Gaelic names. I mean, if they used somewhat proper spelling for McDohl (though Teo is mispelled, it's supposed to me Thyoh if we're talking Gaelic here), one would think they'd repeat that for Tyr.

Thyoh? ...I like that! o__o Why didn't Konami of America translate it like that, dammit!!

Because NO ONE would pronounce it write. I, for one, despise my ethnic language. It's just a series of fucking tongue twisters.

*

sapphirus August 21 2007, 05:49:21 UTC

...XD;;; You'd...pronounce it "thy"+"oh"? *so used to thinking of "Ty"+"r" that she didn't really think about how to pronounce "Thyoh"*

gonsai August 21 2007, 05:53:04 UTC

Just about everyone would pronounce it like Thigh-o, and not Teo. In Gaelic, Th followed by a short vowel is a t- sound, not a th.

...oh, now I know another way of spelling Riou's name.

Leo.

I think they were going with a more Japanese feel, given the names of his family members. I know he was adopted and all, but something tells me they didn't have names before Genkaku.
