Talk:Leila Malcal

Is there a reason for the Articles title change?
To me, the entire change of the name reflects how the Japanese would pronounce the characters name in that Engrish format that you hear due to their lack of sounds for the letter L as the name has those same ru letters in her name that you would hear in the original Japanese audio track when characters would pronounce Lelouch's name.

Because of this, I have the feeling that whoever changed the name of the article to what is obviously the Japanese pronounciation of the character's name did it without much thought and is either a hardcore Japanese track fan that could care less on the dialect of the language when they try to pronounce names in English and holds no backing to this being the actual character's name. I feel that the article's name need to change back to Layla Malkal and that this needs to be placed in the Japanese Pronounciation format similar to the other articles.

Yes I understand, but that might not always be the case. The English name has not been confirmed yet, and it's better to be safe than wrong. It's better if we wait till the English name has been confirmed, and this it's not yet confirmed whether this spinoff will have English dubs. --Lelouch Di Britannia (talk) 07:40, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Historian2. It's quite obvious that her name is only being pronounced in Japanese to be seen as "Reila" but it's quite obvious that her name is indeed Layla Malkal if we see it in the english language. It's just as if someone's labeling Lelouch as "Rerouch". Other reliable sources have her name listed as Layla Malkal, so I hope that this can be fixed in the future.

 * The only reliable sources are and [geass.jp/akito/character.html]. Both sources state that her japanese name is レイラ・マルカル. If her Japanese name is correctly translated into English, you will get Reila Malkal. All other sources that states her name is Layla Malkal are just mere speculations.  08:37, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's like saying Lelouch's japanese name is ルルーシュ, therefore if we translate it literally it would be Ruruushi... Not trying to make a big deal out of it, just wondering why it's taken so seriously and trying to prove my point at the same time as well.. Perhaps this will be cleared when subtitles are released. 101.99.149.219 18:59, August 4, 2012 (UTC)Skyler00
