Crossposting this here too:

I don't have an account anymore (rip) but I'd like to propose a name change from "Forest of Bewilderment" to the "Lost Woods".

1. 迷いの森 is a common phrase in Japanese fantasy pop culture (I know it appears a good deal in video games and I'm fairly certain that Harry Potter's "Forbidden Forest/Dark Forest" was also translated as that), so I think an English title that is similarly recognizable would be fine and dandy.

2. Compared to other translations of 迷いの森, I think that "Lost Woods" has a great contextual meaning for EC. The forest is so dense and confusing that it's easy to become lost in.

3. "Lost Woods" helps keep the idea of 迷い that best applies here- losing your way (in either a physical or mental sense). "Lost" covers both of those better, I think, than "Bewilderment".

Thoughts?
