A lot of people find "Raito" pretty ridiculous, too. Unlike Light, it does not mean a single thing in English or Japanese; it's just some sounds thrown together.

But Raito and Light are the same name. How does a Japanese person pronounced Light? "Raito." They're not different, I only say Raito because I think calling him Light is kind of weird.

I think where much of the argument stems from is that just because the Japanese pronounce his name "Raito," it doesn't mean that his name is actually Light. For example, I have a Japanese friend named Veronica. The Japanese pronunciation is "beronika," but that doesn't make her name Beronika, even though she is Japanese. They aren't the same name. Does that make sense? (I have a tendency to ramble.)

Umm...

"There's a japanese guy named Light. The Japanese pronunciation is "raito", but that doesn't make his name Raito, even though he is Japanese. They aren't the same name. Does that make sense?"

Whoops, nevermind, you're arguing the same thing. xD
