Talk:Jellal Fernandes

Name?
Isn't he more commonly called Gerard or something along those lines than Jeral? Dalyup! 18:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think we should should just vote for that one, they call him Gerard early in the arc, then Jeral for the rest, and changed it back to gerard recently so beats me Umibouzu 22:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Jeral seems to be most common. Plus, it sounds coolest =D 69.142.60.234 23:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC) User:Baithin

Hmm Wikipedia saying Gerald though and most this info coming from the English version of the mange by Del Ray (the guys who're publishing FT in the U.S). Retro7 17:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the scantalations nowadays mostly use Gerard in the manga and from what I can see Gerard is much more common among the fandom. Dalyup! 18:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll say Jeral. This one doesn't really matter though. Drunk Samurai 02:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

True, but it's good to be consistent on theses kind of things. Dalyup! 10:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Most of our pages say Jeral anyway. It would be a pain to find everything and change it. Gerard has many different variations to the name itself (Gerard, Gerald, Gerard with the accented e), while Jeral stays the same no matter where it is. Keep in mind, the same translators who started to use "Gerard" again also say "Elza" instead of Erza. =P Baithin 19:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's the thing. The word in Japanese is written as "ジェラール" or "Jeraaru." This is an actual romanization of a real name in Japanese--either written as Gérard or Gerhardt. Keeping in line with the German theme, "Gerhardt" seems to be the most likely candidate. I changed it for now, but if you guys come to a different consensus, change it back.


 * The one thing for sure is that "Jeral" is undoubtedly wrong. That's like writing Lucy's name as "Ruushii" or Grey as "Gurei."-Mr. Toto 13:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ugh! If we change all these names, they won't even be recognizable anymore. I've never even *heard* of "Gerhardt" before. Baithin 19:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
