but wouldn't those be pronounced and therefore written down totally differently? i mean not the r/l confusion. maybe it'd the non-native english speaker in me but re-vee and re-vey/borderline-re-vu-ye would be written differently in katakana. (also reveille seems like a french word/name to me and the first e would also be pronounced differently -- acute accent vs ... that other accent wtf is it called in english.) Am I... pronouncing the names wrong ? D:

The pronunciation of both is the same and it's this http://www.forvo.com/search/Levi/en/

Well, I know the word reveille is pronounced "rev uh lee", not "ree vie" like the name Levi

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/reveille

Not even the same number of syllables. So it's gotta be one or the other.

Rivaille (リヴァイ Rivai)

Uhhh no way that is totally Levi, no doubt about it. People are just assholes. Also, newsflash, non-Jewish people are often named "Levi" so it could go either way, though I see the headcanon that he's Jewish perfectly acceptable (also a few of these characters have last names that could go either way, I mean, "Ackerman", "Springer" -- could either be German or Jewish/German)

Usually it's spelled as "Rivaille" if it makes any difference? I'm clueless about French names.

[childings.livejournal.com]

My French pronunciation is not great but I suppose that could sound like "Levi", however "rivaille" isn't a word that I know of in French, or a name that I know of, when I google it all I get is Attack on Titan stuff, so I feel like people are really bending over backwards here not to call a character "Levi" for god knows what reason (as far as I know most of these characters have names that are used in real life)

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't. In French, Rivaille would be pronounced ree-vaye, with a hard r. A French pronounciation of Levi would be lay-vee.
But Rivaille isn't a French name, so... (well, not a first name, but it could be a surname, although it's rare).

So Levi, it is. I think someone upthread said the author had confirmed it was Levi.

[(Anonymous)]

No, reveille (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/reveille), isn't pronounced particularly like Levi - it's pronounced approximately as "revelry", without the second r. Even the French réveil (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/r%C3%A9veil) (from which "reveille", which is English, is derived) isn't pronounced like that.

Potential transliterations of Reveille and Levi into kana: レベリ (reberi) and リバイ (ribai). (Both have other potential transliterations, but these are the most obvious to me.)
