https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/15851 https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/15851 Reference: [536] - “‘Deadpool 2’ Sets Actress Shioli Kutsuna In A Key Role”: https://deadline.com/2017/06/deadpool-2-shioli-kutsuna-ryan-reynolds-fox-1202111974/ https://deadline.com/2017/06/deadpool-2-shioli-kutsuna-ryan-... So perhaps the question is, did Shioli's parents choose this spelling because they felt Australians may more correctly pronounce her name with an L instead of an R?

I’m not sure I understand the reference, since it doesn’t mention the crater. It looks like it is just meant to be a evidence that “Shioli” can be a “Japanese female first name”. In either case, that romanization is uncommon, so the question stands. I wondered about pronunciation by foreigners being a motivation, but I would still expect an incorrect pronunciation like “shy-oh-ly”.

  It's a quote from the first link, about the crater. I believe the meaning is that the crater was named after the actress, and presumably copied the spelling of her name.

    There is no evidence that it was named after her in the referenced Deadpool article, and I would expect the “Origin” field to mention it if it was the case. Your conclusion doesn’t seem plausible to me.

      I couldn't find any other reason for that article to be referenced mostly. Seems like you're probably right though.

  Considering this is an ISAS project I wouldn't be surprised there were an eroge character named and spelled conspicuously similar to that. That naming was briefly mentioned in the press conference, and the official reasoning told was it was so named "in the hope this landing will be a bookmark(shiori) in the long history of human aspirations towards the Moon", :shrug:.
