Am I the only that feels Lilie doesn't fit her at all and Lily is the best name for her? Because if it actually was Lilie it would be spelled as Li-li-e and not same as Lily. It's like calling Juri as Yuri because it's mostly the same name and other languages spell J as English Y. However, this should be based on original spellings that were confirmed in show. First we have the case of Risappe whose name fits her more than american Lisa, but the people still stick to Lisa for some reason. Now the same case happens and people stick to the name that suits her more rather than official accepted name while they did the opposite with Risa - choosing a random similar name instead of the official name. Make up your minds, people! I'm not even talking about the Rola case. Why don't we change all names to what we see better fit rather than their official names? Akari to Acal, Koharu to Kohal, Kita Kanata to Kill Kanata. It's English and we all must use English in a wiki based on Japanese anime. One of the reasons I love this anime is because it shows us official character names on their debut and we don't have to guess, but it looks like people still prefer to change things to fanon instead of canon.

As my lexis and translation teacher said, "this translation is official and we have to accept it. We may not like it, it may be different or wrong, but it is official".

Let's take another situation: You work or study in non-English speaking country, in a company or school that has native words for title. You need to write a CV in English for better career oportunities. What would you do with the translation of the company? You would go to that company's page and select English language to look at official English title. It's official and people would understand what you mean. If you, however, decided to create your own translation or fix official mistakes, the people who read your CV wouldn't understant what the heck are you talking about, if it's the company/school you're talking about or not.
