Talk:Xiaoyu Lei/@comment-3218221-20190118234755

The reason I named the article "Lei Xiaoyu" (i.e. used that name order upon creation) was because Lei introduces himself as "Lei Xiaoyu" in Chapter 21—which I took to be the name order, as Yen Press typically used "given name - last name" when writing out full names. (In retrospect, I also had initial trouble with figuring out Sorimura's name order since Yen Press wrote it both ways, so...I really shouldn't put my confidence in consistency).

Considering that Lei Xiaoyu belongs to the "Lei Clan/Family" rather than a "Xiaoyu Clan," and that he is called Xiaoyu in Chapter 22 rather than Lei...it's looking like Xiaoyu is his given name instead. Whoops. It seems to me I should rename his page to "Xiaoyu Lei" (and address him as Xiaoyu in articles, correcting the current state of affairs across the board) -- and I probably will do that, after I create an article for Chapter 23.

If anyone has evidence in favor of "Lei Xiaoyu," do share. We'll see what Yen Press does in future chapters, at any rate. For now...I think it is "Xiaoyu Lei" after all.

Edit: Since Chapter 24 has just released in Japan, maybe it's worth waiting for the Yen Press translation of it just in case (before I rename the page).
