Shalulu? making more sense than Charles?
I know her actual name hasn't been confirmed but does Shalulu make more a accurate sense to her name pronunciation-Sharuru- instead of Charles?
1) they say ~Sha which kinda does match with Cha~ but
2) The ~ruru which they say in the anime comes out in english as lulu ( since the L's name the R' sound )
+ plus maybe if it was Charles wouldn't her name be pronounced? "Shāruzu"
-- This is just a suggestion, but I can understand if you don't get my reasoning. It's just a thought I recently got and I wanted to know what people thought about it. --JRB--
The letter "u" is silent in japanese so her name would be pronounced as, written in english, "Sharl", which is Charle. Relikz Talk 18:10, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
I actually rewatched the OVA, and during her appearance in the opening sequence, her name is shown to be pronounced "Charles." Not only that, but I looked up the general name as it's spelled in Japanese (シャルル) on the Japanese version of Wikipedia, and it states that it's the Japanese equivalent of "Charles." (There's no actual English equivalent to this page on Wikipedia; looking up "Charles" in English leads to the name チャールズ, not シャルル). Is there an official source, or any reliable one for that matter, stating otherwise for the character's name? Or are we just not going to go through the trouble of renaming "Charle" as "Charles"?

Well, it was decided that we would use Charle. I believe we recieved the translation Charle from ChaosKnight (if i'm not mistaken). And while it could very well be Charles, it won't be changed to Charles until we get confirmation from the English version of her name released by Kodansha. It's not a matter of "trouble" as changing Charle to Charles would be childsplay for my bot. Iam...JakuhōRaikōben 02:38,9/1/2011
Like Immblueversions said, "Sharuru" is how Japanese pronunce "Charles" in their native language. But until volume 16 is out, her official english name is still unconfirmed... I'm still working on translating the name origins on volume 27, and perhaps it may shed some light on her name (though hers is one of the tougher ones to translate).
