Talk:Sireen

Shouldn't his name just be romanized as "Siren"? Searching around some Japanese sites suggests to me it does. Geewunling 12:48, 24 January 2010 (EST)

Possibly. Looking around, I see that サイレーン is used to refer to the Sirens, as in the mythological creatures, whereas サイレン, without the vowel extender, is used to mean the noisemaking device which derived its name from those creatures. However, since the two words are spelled identically in English, spelling the Transformer's name "Siren" would leave no indication of the different pronunciation.--Apcog 15:21, 24 January 2010 (EST)
