http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Lagiacrus

In this wikia the put the name like it would be writen in English, if you look closely

this ラギアクルス in correct Romaji is Ragiakurusu though the real name and pronunciation is Lagiacrus, i think this fits well the problem with the Pillar Men, and one more thing, in the Artbook Tarkus is writen as Tarukus, but if he's based in the album it should be Tarkus, so i think this are the problems when japanese try to translate the names to romaji and they left some errors ... Yes, but that is romaji. The names used in Jojo 6251 are the actual English Spellings, not the Romaji.

As for the stand names, according to artbook, they don't include The's either. http://i.imgur.com/PHr6I.png

It's just Sun and Hanged Man. and It's spelt Thoth.

The fact of the matter is, we're assuming they're suppose to be based off the artists names. However, there are 3 contridictions to this:

1. They are spelt differently than the band names in katakana.

2. The official Artbook has the English Names, and they arn't what we assume they are. (They also romanize it Straiz(z)o at the end of Jorge Joestar.)

3. Part 1 and 2 are known not to have exact name references, like Zeppeli. Again, if we make the rest to their corresponding band names, we must change Zeppeli to Zeppelin. Nobody wants to do that though, right? The reason people are in denial is because they'd rather believe Scanlations. ( which we've already found multiple problems with).

I think as a wiki, we are entitled to present information from official sources, rather than what we "think" it might be.
