I don't see the point for starting off with "excuse me" if I would overlook the fact that you simply wanted to feel superior by calling us out. It's not easy spelling, it is simply what the majority of the fandom spelt it as.

The reason he changed her name choice is to make it sound less suspicious when she encountered other humans, not for symbolism. In addition, the english translation for the light novel has it as "Shuvi." In this wiki, we consider the closest source to the writer as the canon for spelling and plot. Therefore, the LN translations would be closer to the writer's intent than the movie and anime.

Agreed.

A Fandom User wrote: I have japanese materials which spelled the two name in english alphabets: シュヴィ (Shuvi) as "Schwi" while シンク (Shinku) as "Think" (not Sync). I am not sure about フィール (Fiel / Fil / Feel)'s spelling because the material I have doesn't have her name spelled in english alphabet but from the way the Yuu Kimiya names his characters we can assume it should've be "Feel". During the translation process the translators may not have understood the characters' naming style of Yuu Kimiya.

What "materials" are you referring to? This is very vague as it leaves too much room for assumption, example being, you translated it yourself and left it here for all of us to see.

Secondly, we can also turn this the other way and say that Yuu Kamiya didn't have an official english name to them, thus, naming them however we see fit, in this case, Shuvi.

I love how you completely disregarded Phoenix's points and came to that conclusion. In my eyes, it is nothing but a pretentious attitude.

All in all I think there's too much information lacking for us to come to a sole conclusion.
