I've noticed people call Raph "Ralph" and spell Michaelangelo "Michelangelo". Michelangelo is a renaissance artist, Michaelangelo is a Ninja Turtle. Doesn't this bother anyone else?

You are wrong, in all current and future TMNT project correct spelling is used. So it is Michelangelo.

I don't think the spelling matters to me. It was spelled "Michaelangelo" in the old cartoon, movies, and the older comics. It was changed to "Michelangelo" later on. Mike, Mikey, Michelangelo, Michaelangelo... :trazz: It doesn't matter to me.

Me neither, but thats how it's officially spelled now.

Yeah, I know. That doesn't mean everyone will agree to it. I know that the right spelling will stay from now on, that's for sure. Either way, it doesn't bother me at all.

Michaelangelo is resolved, yet I see a suprising amount of people call Raph "Ralph". I didnt know if this was some thing that everyone does to make his name more American sounding or if they are just idiots.

My roommate is a mexican not an American. So I'm going with the idiot theory.

Ralph. That's a good one although I can't remember anyone ever using it.

I never tried to spell Mikey's name though. I just take the easy way out like so. :)

It ALWAYS annoys me whenever I see Raph spelled as "Ralph". Seems like an honest mistake that a spellchecker would miss (or even use in place of "Raph".) Once I understand, but every single time it appears?!? *bangs her head on her desk*

Not trying to be rude, but I'm just wondering if it's really that offending to compare Mikey to Mickey Mouse...I mean, they're both cartoon characters whatnots - and both served their purpose to bring some joy into children's lives (and adults)...so what's the fuss here again?

The correct names are

MICHELANGELO
RAFFAELLO (Raphael ---> Raph)

Michelangelo comes out from Michelangelo Buonarroti a famous 1500 italian artists who made for example the David in Florence.
Raphael comes out form Raffaello Sanzio who made for instance La Trasfigurazione

Thanks for the info, Supermik!

Uh oh, so Raph should be Raff now? Or is Raph the English translation to the Italian name? But Michelangelo is the original Italian version ain't it...so is Raph spelled wrong from the beginning too?

Voltron: There've been worse misspellings of TMNT characters before.

There was even a thread about the misspelling of Krang's name on an eBay auction spelled "Craing".

Uhm, we could say so: the original name of Raphael is RAFFAELLO, Raphael is an english translation of the correct italian name RAFFAELLO.

In italian is correct RAFFAELLO, but in english is correct Raphael.

For example the italian friendly name for Raffaello is Raf (it would be correct for the Turtle and for the people) or Lello (never used for Turles, but usually used for people), so the correct english friendly name is Raph.
I think so...
