Well, no one asked this question, but I may have found an answer. Deneve's name might really be Deneb.
Deneb (α Cyg / α Cygni / Alpha Cygni) is the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus and one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle. It is the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an apparent magnitude of 1.25. A white supergiant, Deneb is also one of the most luminous stars known. It is, or has been, known by a number of other traditional names, including Arided and Aridif, but today these are almost entirely forgotten.
Well, the katakana doesn't exactly match. The ヴ is a makeshift "V" sound as opposed to the "bu" sound but I thought it was an interesting thing to present and felt like sharing. |
It's possible, but as you say - the katakana does not match. Yagi explicitly choose and went out of his way to use the 'v' sound as opposed to 'bu'. If it was the other way around and he used 'bu' instead, then either reading would be acceptable, but not 'v' to 'bu'.
Besides, I like the name Deneve.
