When I realized that it's suppoesed to be Varan.

(It's spelled in Katakana as "Baran" because there isn't a "va" in Japanese, but he has a V on his belt and you can read the very tiny lettering on his magic show ticket - which I neglected to investigate earlier)

Yup~

In the guidebook it shows that his beltbuckle was originally a B, for Baran. So the fact that it ended up a V in the final version proves that should be the correct way to romanize his name.

Now if only it had clarified Zakku vs Zack :sawit-bald:

But I thought that double letters and 'u's were, like, silent in how hteir pronounced, so wouldn;t that mean that it is Zak/Zack?
Like Cherimu is pronounced Cherim. Or Perrappu is pronounced Perap.

It's true that if they wanted it to be "Zack" they would write it as "Zakku." But it could still be romanized either way, depending on the preference of the creator.
