Meh. Japanese doesn't have an L or R, so Ruru and Lulu are equally correct. Lulu is a more common spelling of the Western name though. We decided to use Ruru on the wiki at first because it's closer to the standard romanization or ル as 'ru' and we didn't yet know how the name was used, then later kept it that way because of her using "Amour" as a surname (it has the '~ūru' part in common with her given name). The fansubbers apparently liked the common Western spelling better. *shrug* It happens.

(We had a similar situation before with Izayoi Riko's given name. Riko is a Japanese girl's name. With her family all having names starting with 'Li' (Lilia, Lian, Liz) you could argue for spelling it Liko (as it also appeared on-screen once), but we've kept the more common spelling here on the wiki.)
