so i was looking at the japanese wiki entry on touhou, and i noticed something strange, flandre's name in roman characters was spelled as "frandle"

what gives? have we been calling her by the wrong name or are the japanese just fucking with us?

heres the link to the wiki

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 21 11:51:51 2008 No.1489008 The Japanese cannot pronounce r's. This includes ZUN. The accepted romanization is Flandre, not Frandoll, not Frandle.

in the archive of zun's blog cited on the wiki, i found zun calling flandre "flandre"

http://web.archive.org/web/20040404190222/www16.big.or.jp/~zun/cgi-bin/diary/nicky.cgi?page=1

so why the hell did they decide on frandle? fuck this really bugs me.

Check the second link containing the errata for one of the official publications:

http://www.comptiq.com/release/comic/55touhou_owabi.html

It's probably more recent. Not entirely sure ZUN is behind it though. And I can't see what they got Frand_l_e from.
