well, either way I guess. not like it's a bad name.

Well, problem is, little is known about Mister Bigwig (my own moniker...although it's been revealed that the hair/hairdo was...genuine O_O) and the blackout includes his own name. It seems that for now the staff doesn't deem it necessary to introduce another name for us to refer to him as. Since he doesn't have much importance right now, it's a fortuitous tidbit to throw to the (ravenous) masses.
On the other side, although it's been emphasized that there would be plot divergences and differences as well as certain similarities between novel and anime, I doubt the liberty the staff will take on those matters would encompass the topic of (major) character names. I can envision them changing certain persons' deeds, opinions and personalities, why not (or even his/her
existence, as Cornelia doesn't even seem to exist in the CG-LotR manga) - but what defines a character the most? His/her name? I think not. At least, it seems unlikely to me. The change would be too glaring, too peculiar.
I mean, it'd be as if Tomino had renamed Char Aznable, something like, say, "Commander Gaylord" for the CCA novel...
See what I mean?
