I am Japanese, too, and it made me consider... were he so popular if his first name was Gawr?

I don't think so. Gura Gawr just doesn't have a good ring to it.

In western name order, she's called Gura Gawr.
In Japanese name order, she's called Gawr Gura.

Gura is her personal name, Gawr is her family's name.

Given that holoen names are supposed to be japanese but the girls themselves are not, confusion about intended name order is inevitable. Furthered by the fact that japanses usually go by their last name unless it's someone they're really close with, vs westerners using their first name for everything.

All of EN gen 1 and 2 use Japanese name order for all their official channels and twitter.

Obviously, Irys only has one name.
So yes, Gura's name when written in Western name order is Gura Gawr.
Gura is her given name and Gawr is her surname.

Can you please explain the Japanese origins of the names Amelia Watson, Fauna Ceres, Kronii Ouro, or Baelz Hakos? (Hint: Those aren't Japanese names)

Unless they changed it in the last year.

Incidentally, the ID members' name orders are completely mixed.
https://www.youtube.com/@AiraniIofifteen (JP order)
https://www.youtube.com/@AyundaRisu (JP order)
https://www.youtube.com/@MoonaHoshinova (Western order)

https://www.youtube.com/@AnyaMelfissa (Western order)
https://www.youtube.com/@PavoliaReine (JP order)
https://www.youtube.com/@KureijiOllie (JP order)

https://www.youtube.com/@KoboKanaeru (Western order)
https://www.youtube.com/@VestiaZeta (JP order)
https://www.youtube.com/@KaelaKovalskia (Western order)

It seems as if ID staff weren't as consistent as EN staff and they probably had different people make their accounts.

Finally, starting with EN 3, their names are listed in Western order except for Bijou for some odd reason. (I personally wish they would have remained consistent with gen 1 and 2).
https://www.youtube.com/@ShioriNovella
https://www.youtube.com/@NerissaRavencroft
https://www.youtube.com/@KosekiBijou

And while FuwaMoco's channel, https://www.youtube.com/@FUWAMOCOch, doesn't have a name order, they both have individual unofficial place holder channels that were made at the same time as their shared channel and both have Western name order.

Bijou is the only EN3 who has a clearly Japanese surname so maybe she's the reason for being an outlier.

That might be true within her own generation, but Ame, Fauna, Kronii, and Bae (and possibly Gura) all have western names written in Japanese name order in their accounts, so I think it's just that whoever made the channels for EN3 wasn't the same person who made all the channels for EN 1 and 2.

That may have influenced why they chose the anagram of Baelz, but the z is definitely there because the entire thing is from "Blaze". It's why she has flame patterns on her outfit.

Also why can't translators translate fucking pronouns in japanese. God japanese is a fucking ridiculous language, like what are they even doing? Sort your shit Japan. Tranlation works for other languages, but falls apart for japanese, cos japanese is structure like baby talk and is utterly nonsensical and impossible to learn.
