Line 4: [[File:SO Chapter 2.jpg\|thumb\|right\|An example of Araki writing out a name in English]] Due to a lack of proper localization ~~early~~for onmuch inof the series' history, as well as different ~~translation~~localization groups with their own preferences, a common problem for fans of ~~the JJBA series~~''JoJo'' is determining the correct English spelling of names. ~~Multiple~~Both ~~scanlation~~official ~~groups, fansubbers,~~publishers and ~~even~~fan ~~professional~~translation ~~anime and gaming companies~~groups often translate these names based on assumption or other reference material, or to avoid trademark and copyright issues outside of Japan. As a result of the series's common theme of referencing musical artists, a {{W\|false etymology}} has formed among fans regarding some of the names. Many fans believe most of the names are spelled exactly like the artists and bands they reference (with some exceptions such as Zeppeli) due to the belief that [[Hirohiko Araki]] does not like copyright changes to his character names.
