It... is?!

I'm Indian myself and I know "Patel" is a Gujurati name (I'm Punjabi) but I really had no idea "Patil" was valid. Maybe because all the 100 Patels I went to school with spelled their last name "Patel". Unless in the UK it's "Patil"?

Well, I'm Canadian. Which is kind of like the UK I guess?

I admit that I probably know less than you, but her dad said it was a fairly popular name in India so it's probably just different romanization.

I've met multiple Patel families, and I'm in Britain, but that doesn't invalidate "Patil". I think it's kinda like the difference between Smith and Smythe, except I don't think either Patil or Patel is as ridiculously pretentious as "Smythe". I don't know the language, so don't take my word for it, I'm just guessing.

Anyone ever think that maybe Rowling gave the characters names like that because, well ... PEOPLE DO HAVE NAMES LIKE THAT? Hell, for all we know, Cho might be white and have really ignorant whatever-the-Chinese-ish-equivalent-of-Wapanese-is parents ... nah, born two decades too early, wasn't she?
