I realize that it might not be wise to bring this up without an alternative name in mind but I was wondering if we could perhaps consider retranslating the name Ron Grapple. Specifically the Ron part. I've spent this whole time thinking (like most people who see the same Ron, I expect) that it was pronounced Rahn. I look at the kana and apparently it's pronounced more like "Roan/Loan". I'm not saying we have to spell it that way but is there any alternatives that make the pronunciation more clear?

Or is there a specific reason it was spelled Ron that I'm missing (is there a precedent for spelling the name that way in Japan?)
