:It's just that that (Susano-o) is the most common form I've seen of the name (at least in a mythology context, I don't know if there's a different convention when using the name in a historical context).  Also, it seems more natural and fluid.  I personally haven't ever seen it as "Susa no O" and it seems kind of awkward to me since there's already so many different parts of his name (Susano-o no Mikoto) that separating "Susano" just seems to emphasize that even more.  As for the dash, if we were to have it as "Susanoo" then the average reader would think that it was pronounced "Susan-eww".  [[User:Azuki Arai|Azuki Arai]] 19:44, 1 March 2007 (PST)

::Actually, by your logic, it makes the reader say "Susano......Oh!". If you look at my rationale for naming conventions in the Kojiki article, I explain some of my reasoning. Of course, he wasnt a real person, so there is no real way to decide this for sure. However, honestly, all my books published by major universities follow what I have written. For romanization issues, we should discuss them before changes are made to multiple articles. Please check your sources for what is used most and give book titles. Thanks.

:::I personally disagree on the "Susano...oh" thing, but that's not a big deal I guess.  Sorry if I jumped the gun, I was just trying to make each article's romanization consistent.  Let me check my books and I'll get back to you.  [[User:Azuki Arai|Azuki Arai]] 19:51, 1 March 2007 (PST)
