== Ruudo Ronumaa (ルード・ロヌマー) ==

Would like to propose translating the name ルード・ロヌマー and all further instances of the pseudonym ルード as Rude over Rudo, to reflect the long vowel. And yes, I'm aware that it's a word in English, but the professional localisers for FF7 didn't seem to think it a problem to use Rude as a name, but... is it really no good after all? I'm just a stickler for long vowels, and yes, I know sometimes they don't actually matter, but well... [[User:Vanant|Vanant]] ([[User talk:Vanant|talk]]) 05:22, 13 August 2014 (CDT)

B-but... Rudeus+Quagmire= The Evil Wizard Rudemire!!! not Ru-doronuma!!!! FUAHAHAHA!!!! But yeah Ru-do can be Rude, it works phonetically with most of the jokes anyway.--[[User:Skuizaan|Skuizaan]] ([[User talk:Skuizaan|talk]]) 21:30, 13 August 2014 (CDT)


I'm fine with "Rude" but perhaps adding the hyphen or something in between to help differentiate it from the English word would help with the reading? i.e. "Ru-de" or "Ru~de", which will also reflect the Japanese style?

p.s: We have to find a replacement for the four-tidal symbols, as it's popping translators signatures in scripts! lol.

Oh. I thought we were just going to give up on translating the joke lol. I mean, in the first place noone is going to know that doronuma = quagmire. It's like impossible to make it work in English lol. Rube Ogg. Ruke Wagmyer. LOL

As for the name, I was considering Rüde, since noone in English pronounces ü any different to u, but if there are any German readers out there, they might think the name is リュード or something.

"Rüde" is acceptable to me as well, just to give some indication that the meaning differ it from the english word (even though everyone will still read it as "rude")
It's enough to give a visual cue.
