I think there is a precedent of the romaji name having meaning while the actual translation still varied (like the Story of Evil characters with their names looking more like their Vocaloid counterparts in romaji? Is that a viable argument? ^ ^; )

I'm not sure how often that's popped up for minor characters like these (though the Meguru comparison to Gumi may be evident). There were some possible connections found in the romaji but they could always just be coincidence (I mean, Irotto only cropped up with "iro" (male lover) and "otto" (husband) but that's based completely on its syllables, not its spelling).

I am starting to lean on removing the "likely represented by" statements entirely though with the possible Vocaloids linked. While I think these get to the point of being extremely obvious, they're never depicted and we've had some issues balancing the way we portray this with Pere Noel as well (referencing Agni's comment and Sloth touched upon this). I feel a good point is being brought up and this might be an area too hazy to make assumptions; thoughts? Is this under the category of "Irregular obvious"?

Also Misstress suggested changing Teto (romaji "tetto") to Tette. Not sure if this is relevant, but I want to point out that we spell her romaji as "cetera" so maybe there's some pun on "et cetera"? I personally don't mind changing it to "Tette" or "Tet".
