Topic: Tag Alias: なかむら -> nakamula

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

So here I am picking again, lol.

"we" generally use "r" instead of "l" for transliterating japanese names. So, Nakamura.

(the real sound of that letter is somewhere between R and L, which is why there's some confusion. The best way to describe it is that it's a combination of the two, with some 'd' thrown in.

Some youtube! (2 min, educational)

okay, that said, Nakamura is the 8th most common japanese surname.

Soo.. If it's intended to be Nakamula, that's probably fine.... but if it's nakamura... it might be kinda like someone named "wilson" or "jones"

aaaaand I think I see "nakamura" over here so ..... not sure what to do.

Why are these aliased to "nakamula" instead of "nakamura"? "Nakamura" is the standard Romanization of the hiragana, and is what the artist himself uses on his pixiv fanbox . A cursory examination of the pages linked on the wiki doesn't show any use of "nakamula" either.

honestly, Nakamura was going to be my alias suggestion but it was already aliased to nakamula. There is also a plethora of other names aliased to this one, which makes me falter if they actually do have it as a name on an unknown source.

Huh. So it is. *stares oddly at aliases.*

3 years later, everything's (except the hiragana/katakana) been redirected to nakamura which is still woefully *common*, but at least it is correct.
