Trivia
I have a question. What do you mean

 * SPOILER WARNING!
 * Dead as in eaten by a Titan. Or to be more precise, crushed in the Titans hand (which at least stoped her from moving and screaming even if she survived), gotten her legs bitten off and then being swallowed. NoNickNeeded (talk) 08:51, September 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Kodansha uses "Kalura" as her first name? Wow, I didn't expect this. It sounds quite alien. Does it even exist? It sounds like simply using the Hepburn-system to romanisize her katakana name. Well on the other hand "Grisha" is not that much more popular either. NeoSuperior (talk) 23:18, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Her name
Why is her name given as "Kalura"? Who decided on this? It SHOULD be "Carla". The Romanization of her name should be something like "Karura". The "u" vowel in japanese is typically silent (or as some say, "whispered"), so it would sound something like "Karra", and then there's how the "r" in japanese is also an "l". Who ever decided on Kalura knew this much at least, but didn't seem to know there was a western name, "Carla" that fits perfectly with this. Aditionally, Funimations will be using the name "Carla" in their dub, so that's just more to add to the legitimacy of my claim.  TUSF (Talk) 12:51, March 11, 2014 (UTC)

As much as I agree with your points, we've decided to use the romanization of Kodansha USA and they have unfortunately translated her name as Kalura. 15:59, March 11, 2014 (UTC)

But... "Kalura" doesn't even remotely portray how it should be pronounced, and having the "L" where it is, is even more mis-leading. But if that's your wiki's policy, very well.  TUSF (Talk) 23:36, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
