Talk:Baraqijal

Name
I know EvaGeeks names this Angel as Barakijal but the kana in the image reads "Barakiel". Has anyone played this game or knows which name is the correct one? ~ The Maverick  013  19:10, December 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, cluster of information:
 * First, there is quite a naming discrepancy over Baraquiel, Baraqiel, Barakiel, Barachiel, Barbiel, Barchiel, and Barkiel (I also found it as Baraqel).
 * Barachiel is an Archangel, whose name comes from Bārki'ēl, and who is known as Barakiel in Croatian.
 * Then, there's Baraqiel, who is one of "200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch". There, his name is quoted as "Barâqîjâl".
 * These names seem entirely interchangeable. It all depends on where the name is quoted from. Do we know if Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG: The Nerv White Paper is available in English? If not, I think we should go with Barakiel, since it's the closest relative of Barakieru, from the kana.
 * Also, why does this list him as an Angel from NGE?

 * This is the romanized version of the actual cards. However, notice how the other Angels have their names written unproperly, so i'm not sure if that is the correct way to type it. Iblis and this Angel share an Arabic origin, so i guess the makers of the game where going with a different theme than Hebrew. The Arabic would be the "proper" one but being that card the original canon of the Angel...


 * On a different topic, the Games icon seems to be related to videogames only, can it be changed into something more..."wide" to avoid confusion? Something related to all type of games. ~ The Maverick  013  05:00, December 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well when I put Barakijal into wikipedia, it asked did I mean Baraqijal? Then went on to an article marked Baraqiel. So they all seem fairly interchangeable like Soxra said. Hawkeye2701 (talk) 14:34, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

So, guys, as you all probably saw, an user edited this Angels' name. So for the sake of reaching a consensus this time, what name should we use for this particular creature? As previously seen in the above examples, Barakiel has a lot of possible names to choose from. ~ The Maverick  013  00:56, July 15, 2020 (UTC)


 * I would go for the only available official romanization of the name of this Angel, i.e. Baraqijal. HPZ - O.N.E. (talk) 08:37, July 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * Guess I'll change the name then ~ The Maverick  013  20:55, July 16, 2020 (UTC)
