:The Japanese version name is also "Ancient Fairy Dragon". This card's Japanese name uses the Japanese words for "Ancient Fairy", while the other one uses the English words. Even though the words appear in the order "Fairy Dragon, Ancient", it is far more common for English translations of similarly formatted names to reorder the terms, making it "Ancient Fairy Dragon". This applies to names outside of ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' too.

:Even if we are to accept "Fairy Dragon, Ancient" as the Japanese translation, I still think we should stick with the only official English name, rather than go with an unofficial translation just because something else has the same name. We have "[[Ancient Dragon]]", "[[Ancient Dragon (anime)]]", "[[Zero Hole]]", [[Zero Hole (5D's)]]", "[[Card Guard]]", "[[Card Guard (DM)]]", "[[Covering Fire]]", "[[Covering Fire (manga)]]" etc. Although, I suppose there's less of a chance of people confusing them. If we want to clear confusion, I'd say add a notice like the one on "[[Flames of the Archfiend]]", rather than ignore the naming system. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 14:38, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

::The only problem with your examples is that, in this case, both cards exist in the real life now. The Japanese name specifically mentions that "Ancient" is her name, with "Fairy Dragon" her attribute (I speak here gramatically; in another example, "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" has its proper name as "Gandora" and its attribute "the Dragon of Destruction"; I hope I'm clear). I think we should stick to the Japanese name just to reflect this.

The English manga name and Japanese manga name are not the same. No offense, but you should really check up on what the difference is between a noun and an adjective. In the original, "Ancient" is a noun. In the English manga, "Ancient" is an adjective.
