I feel like following the light novel spelling for names makes the most sense as novel canon is Narita canon. But that doesn't quite solve the name translation issue, one option is to ask a translator for the fandom how the name exactly translates over. Fortunately, Shiki and I know a couple that translate for the fandom (novels/doujinshi/etc).

On the topic of removing letters changing the name meaning, it can alter the exact translation and make it so some names don't translate back to the origin. That would be the major problem. It puts some names at a deadend or alters their origins completely. I don't feel that the admins would get behind us changing the names based on what they 'should' translate to, versus what the official translation is. So I vote we follow the novels rather than creating a new issue to be fought over.
