User blog comment:Watermint/Human names v. Country names (Wiki)/@comment-2004850-20100710173757

@Bärlein - Yeah, I liked a few of the names, but I don't think Himaruya put all that much research into it, particularly with surnames vs. given names. It probably was never intended to be as big as it got.

@Ceras - I like both ideas. Is everyone alright with me changing Vash to Basch and then mentioning Vash as one of those alternate (mis)spellings? We do have ample proof that it is not, in fact, Vash (including a character with the exact same kana written as Basch and German pronunciation). I think it definitely is one of the better reasons for changing pages, anyway--there are a few characters whose spellings are up in the air.

@Icelilly - Sounds good. ^^ Maybe a few of our members on hiatus will be able to return by then...?
