Tag Discussion: Siren (Suite Precure)

Posted under General

Siren_(suite_precure), the name is spelled in Katakana as "セイレーン", which to me says "Seiren", which is also closer to how its pronounced in the show.

Additionally, in human form (not a spoiler...), she goes by the name "Elen" (エレン).

I can't find any "official" source for the Siren spelling, so perhaps an alias? We probably don't want to tag her human and cat forms separately.

It's also how it's pronounced in the original Greek- it was warped somewhere on the way from there to English.
As a loanword, it seems to be spelled variously as セイレン and セイレーン - but as サイレン only when referring to klaxons.

For that matter, I think YamiBou's seiren should be Siren too (the inspiration is quite obvious in her case if you're familiar with the story,) but I have fansubber precedent working against me there.
