Talk:Leyland
I should probably set forth my justification for the "Leyland" spelling over "Leland" somewhere.
British Leyland was a company in the 1970s who manufactured a number of 4WD vehicles, among them Land Rovers. The pronunciation first syllable of the word "Leyland" is more like "Lay" than "Lee", and my understanding is that the kana for the character's name are a long E sound, but I personally can set that aside in favor of the fact that no other interpretation of the name which I have heard makes sense, and the rest of the Battle Gaia components' names are quite straightforward (Great Cannon and Shuttle Gunner in particular). Leyland is of course not a vehicle manufactured by British Leyland, but I still believe it was the intent of the person or persons at Takara who named the toy. -LV 02:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
