MisaForever Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited August 12, 2008 by RF-26AAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we CERTAIN that that is correct? Japanese-speaking-reading people, I need your help here!!!! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt, it's Klan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisaForever Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) 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.

ComicKaze Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bri Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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.

Gubaba Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dex Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taksraven Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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) Taksraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
