I will be honest: a fair number of people (I can name five ncluding myself) want to keep Kachess based on familiarity/because Curtess doesn't sit right as a name with them because they feel there's enough information to get used to and find any name changes of long-established names to be rather annoying and frustrating on top of the slew of other information we're getting that isn't just superficial. It's one more thing to get used to, one that, in this case, was supposedly firmly established long ago. It's something that could be re-opened later when we're not knee-deep in other information (like the bomb with Irregular maybe not being who we thought he was, or at least not in the way he thought he was).

(Also, if you're arguing accuracy, I believe someone earlier said that then his surname should be Cream instead of Crim, but I don't see that being debated.)

IDK. I guess my opinion is to at least leave it for now--which does seem to be the common sentiment. Maybe re-open later when things are less confusing or there isn't a ton of information being thrown at us. I'm honestly frustrated by some of the name changes, especially since as some people on Tumblr have said, they don't really add or take away from the story and, I quote, "seem needlessly nitpicky at this point."

I'm being stubborn, yes, but so are you, and I'm extremely frustrated. There's enough information already to process, sudden name changes aren't helping. And I already know a few people who are becoming extremely frustrated with debates over established names without Mothy revealing an English translation for older names (see: Riliane vs Rilliane, Chirkrasia vs. Chirclatia).
