Talk:Dambara Ruru/@comment-131168-20180125173127/@comment-26503811-20180125232626

I've seen this topic come up a few times in the past month because it has also appeared on the cover of the Hello Pro Maruwakari BOOK 2018 WINTER and other 2018 winter tour goods.

It would be an odd exception, but if it's how she and her family prefer to write it (and how official goods are now always spelling it), I'm not against changing the wiki to Dambara. It would then be a good idea to leave a side note by her name at the start of the page that だんばら is often romanized as Danbara with the current Hepburn system (ん always romanized as n), but her family has carried over the spelling from the old Hepburn system (ん before letters b, m, p romanized as m).

I've been looking to see if Japanese fans have also discussed this and I read that Japanese passports still use the old ん romanization, which a government website confirms:
 * "撥音:「ん」は「N」で表記　→　(例)　かんの　KANNO／ほんだ　HONDA
 * (特例)　B・M・Pの前では、「ん」は「M」で表記
 * なんば　NAMBA／ほんま　HOMMA／まんぽ　MAMPO"
