Klan Klan is her name

[MisaForever]

Ok, let's settle this once and for all. I have been around the net looking at Klan fan art and EVERY SINGLE PIC of her that has her name on it is spelled WRONG.

Some say "Klan Klein", others say "Klein Klan", now I see one that says "Klan Klang"!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!

I thought it was settled that in Japanese, her name was spelled Klan Klan. Are we CERTAIN that that is correct?

Japanese-speaking-reading people, I need your help here!!!!

Ok, her name is dupliticious so therefore klein klan or klang klein is out of the question, and I am positive her name is KLAN "KU-RAN" not "KU-RAI-N" or "KU-RAN-GU"

Therefore, her friggin name is KlanKlan. Did we really need a thread on this, or were you just venting?

God, she's hot tho.

Her name is クラン　クラン, (Ku-ra-n Ku-ra-n). Japanese cannot spell out names like "Klan" or "Klein" or "Klang", instead you get a similar sounding aproximation. "Kuran" could be the resulting aproximation from any of the above examples, though in my opinion "Klan" is closest.

no, you'd get the above katakanaizations if it were Klein or Klang, (ku-rai-n) and (ku-rein-gu)... but yes, Japanese language doesn't permit "ng" (thank god) or the "L" sound in general.

Without doubt, it's Klan.

[Sumdumgai]

They can't even spell "Nome" correctly, and there are regular errors in spelling using romaji. Is it that surprising they can't spell out Klan Klan right?

It all depends on how you pronounce the name rather than how you spell it (in english).

[MisaForever]

I just don't understand how people can misspell it like that. There are a ton of pics I'd like to have but they have her name spelled wrong on them in BIG LETTERS so it's like *shakes angry fist*

And yes, this does require a thread of it's own because it's KLAN and she is IMPORTANT.

I'm terribly disappointed in how poorly used she is in the series. She had a good first introducing episode, and then is totally wasted for most of the series thus far.

I like "Kuran"... I think it sounds sexier.

I laughed hard on this thread for no reason, I don't intend to insult you MisaForever, but this is just hilarious (:^0^).

Let see what I can do (enters Frankenstein lab and put 'do not disturb' sign on door)

I can imagine people misspelling it on purpose. Does't look good at work if you have a google search screen open filled with mentions of the KKK. Going to be hard to explain that you were looking for an anime character.

Ok, here you go MisaForever

While you at it, a present for you:

Note: I was tempted to put Misa head on Klan and vice versa, lucky I didn't do it

[MisaForever]

WOOOOO Thankee!!!! Very nicely done Morpheus.

Your welcome, no I must go back to work (I have enough people staring at me right now )

Not true. Look at "Myung" in Mac Plus, and although the guy's name is SUPPOSED to be "Jan," Manga Entertainment translated the YF-19's designer's name as "Yang." So it could indeed be Klan Klang, or Klang Klan, or Klang Klang.

All of those versions look pretty stupid, however.

[Master Dex]

Like I said in the art thread, Klan Klang sounds like Klan if she were a Klingon. I agree with MisaForever on this one, the name is Klan and that is how it is.

[taksraven]

I SECOND THAT

Kult of Klan is a bit scary, at least to me. You boys need to take a cold shower.

(I am copyrighting the expression Kult of Klan, just in case it catches on. More appropriate than Klan of Klan)

Lets keep it in that art topic.
