I would not be so quick to move it back to Alianna given the untrustworthiness and unprofessionalism of the English edition. |

I am too apprehensive about the English translators' unreliability and unprofessionalism (and the possibility they took from the original way I reluctantly named the article knowing it was inaccurate) to feel confident this is the canonical name she was intended to have. |
