I originaly replied to this message, but since it bounced back, I anm
sending it through the list.  It could be usefull information any way.


It is Ranko.  There is no actual 'L' sound in the Japanese language.  As far
as stupidity goes, the name has nothing to do with the r or l at the
begining it is simply the female equivelent of Ranma.  Ranma and Ranko both
mean wild horse.  It also has nothing to do with how inteligent Nodoka is.
I watched the OVA's subbed it was pronounced Ranko.

I didn't see the original question, but it might be worth noting, that
Ranko
look very much like Nodoka, Ranma's mother.

Ranko is what Ranma calls himself when his mother is around to keep her
from
forceing him into ritual suicide, due to a pact Genma made with her to
make
him a 'man among men.'  It has been said often in the Manga and the
Anime
that
Ranma's female side looks alot like him. But there is no 'Official'
exsplanation for who she was\is to my knowledge so just go with what is
best

id just like to add that its lanko and mr.panda not ranko...... nodoka's
not
htat stupid........
Ranchan
