I just noticed, in the dub at least, in Rena's flashback...her mom calls her 'Rena', not 'Reina' (Also Rina seems to call her 'Reina' but I think that's just her VA pronouncing it wrong so I don't count that as a mistake). Is that a mistake in the Japanese version as well? Is it just because the Anime didn't really need to distinguish 'Rena' and 'Reina'?

Spoiler:

Spoiler: I remember in Onikakushi that Ooishi told Keiichi her real name was 'Reina' when he said she was born in Hinamizawa, but I also know the Anime (at least season 1) doesn't explain why Rena changed her name and removed that 'i'. I'm just curious if this was a dub mistake/mispronunciation, or an Anime mistake in general to call her 'Rena' in the flashback.
