New name[]

So I have checked the game, and there is nothing saying this species is name "Djinn": they are just referred to as "spirits" in English. Meanwhile, in Japanese, they are called "マジン"; in English it says "Majinn" which is the Japanese pronunciation of "Ma Djinn". So, what do you guys say? Should it be renamed "Spirit" or "Ma Djinn", as the former seems rather generic.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 17:45, June 21, 2015 (UTC)

I remember them being called Dijinns in Sonic Rivals 2, but I can't play the game right now, so I can't confirm it. Myself 123 22:17, June 21, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the cards call them "[insert color] Ma Djinn", but that is but a name. It is more about drawing parallels between those indications to the species in SatSR, which is in this case spirit and ma djinn.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 22:21, June 21, 2015 (UTC)

I just found that. Either way, I think it's substantial enough for the name of the species. Myself 123 22:24, June 21, 2015 (UTC)

Frankly, I think so too, but my nagging sense of order says it should be named according to the designations given by the games.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 22:29, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
