Talk:Ilse Langnar

Name
Could Ilse Langnar's name come from Ilse Wagner? She was a girl who was related to Anne Frank, who kept a diary of the events during the Holocaust.Alicealicelegend (talk) 06:17, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's possible. However, we can't know that unless it's explicitely stated by Isayama.  h fc 2 X  06:53, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

 * Considering how it'd be relatively easy to translocate Wagner into japanese, that's rather unlikely. Going by the german pronounciation all the necessary syllables are there in japanese, though there'd be two muted Us: ワグネル = Wa-gu-ne-ru
 * Well, to start with, Wagner in japanese is written as 「ワグナー」, but that wasn't what was asking. The question was if Ilse was based on Ilse Wagner, which I don't find unlikely, but is something to be considered as a theory unless stated by Isayama.  h fc  2 X  17:44, January 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * The table I got from my japanese professor at university (who was born in Japan and lived there most of her life) begs to differ on the exact spelling, but that still doesn't change my point. For a direct connection the names are just too different I think.
 * And is Ilse Wagner someone I should know about. Google spits out dozens of different Ilse Wagners, whether is persons, companies and even a telenovela... But considering how Ilse and Wagner are both quite common names, that's hardly surprising. NoNickNeeded (talk) 22:03, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
