The translator is not sticking with what he used for consistency, but rather because \\\'\\\'in his personal opinion\\\'\\\', \\\"Meer\\\" is a terrible name choice because it\\\'s a male one \\\'\\\'\\\'in India\\\'\\\'\\\'. No, I\\\'m serious. Check the link that I gave above. The only thing that involves consistency is his choice to not use the official spellings for the other girls, and that\\\'s more of the \\\"no bias\\\" kind of consistency -- as in, \\\"it\\\'s not fair that I single out only one character for not using her name\\\'s official spelling\\\".

And frankly speaking, HunterXHunter is the only anime/manga work I\\\'ve ever come across here where the non-Japanese-language character names do not use the official spellings, and that one is an \\\'\\\'\\\'exception\\\'\\\'\\\' due to the MindScrew, oftentimes-unpronounceable nature of so many of those spellings.

IINM, we\\\'re supposed to be going for \\\'\\\'accuracy\\\'\\\' as much as possible when making work pages, including character names.
