Help on Character Names?

[ohariko.livejournal.com]

Since many of the new characters haven't premired yet in R2, could some one that reads Japanese be a big help and translate them into English for me? Thanks a bunch!

I have to go to a class now (oops), but I sort of tried my luck at a few rows' worth of characters for you. ^^;
There are many different readings of kanji in Japanese, so this list in extremely tentative.
If anyone has any corrections, please feel free to point out where I've made a mistake.

Where both first and last names are given, I've kept the Japanese order of last > first the same.
(starting with the first guy in the fourth row)

4th row: Carares, Gaohai, King, Knight of Rounds
6th row: Empress (of China, I'm guessing), we know the Emperor, Nunally, and Toudou, of course.
7th row: Chiba Nagisa, Asahina Shougo, Senba Ryouga, Ougi (duh),
8th row: Shinshiou Tamaki, Minami Yoshitaka, Sugiyama Kenshin, Diethard Ried (duh)

*is extremely tentative. >>;

Anyway, anyone whose translation skills are better than my deplorable talents should probably step up.

ETA:
Glaston Knights: Alfred G. Darlton, Bart Darlton, Claudio S. Darlton, David T. Darlton, Edgar N. Darlton.
...are these all Darlton's kids, or what? o_O;

Heh, I think it was mentioned (near the end of season 1?) that they were adopted by Darlton. (I forget if it was that he adopted them first, or that they were his soldiers first -- the latter seems more likely. Either way, they're fighting for their adopted daddy ^^)

They are all orphans he adopted who later joined the military.

I'll translate some as well in the last panel. Spelling may vary depending on what the official spelling comes.

Next to Schneizel, Odysseus Uu Britania, Miss Lomeiyer, Kolchakk?
Zhou Chan Lin, Hong Ge, General Apsom

Kolchakk?
It reminds me about russian Admiral Colchak. Iz dat sum Russians in CG? It is relevant to my interests.

[honou-no-izumi.livejournal.com]

I read it based on how the katakana pronunciation sounds like. and since L sounds are practically non-existent in Japanese pronunciation, the Ru might just be representing the L sound. And I did assume that the name to be Russian.

If it's Kolchak, it's Russian. If it's Korchak, it sounds rather Polish. Is that Kol/rchak a Brit? Or European?

Since that character hadn't yet made any appearance, we could just make a random guess then~

[miasmacloud.livejournal.com]

It's Ms. Rohmeier and Korczak.
Ms. Rohmeier's design is a homage to a character named Ms. Rottenmeier so romanizing it as "Roh" is preferred.

Also, the two Chinese names are Zhou Xiang Lin and Hong Gu.

*shrugs*

I read the chinese names based on the kana anyways.

[honou-no-izumi.livejournal.com]

Well... we'll just wait when the official name came out then.

Guh, actually, I'm not sure about matching each name to each Eunuch, but that's the names as they appear in order on the top of the page.
