Puzzle Description:

Raphaello from TMNT

#1: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 15, 2017 [SPOILER]

Oh, that's interesting. Where is he called Raphaello? He's Raphael in English-speaking countries. :)
#2: sanane samanye (maceraseven) on Oct 15, 2017
Why is he an exception? The others have .o suffix.
#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 15, 2017
They're named after Renaissance painters. Raphael was named for an archangel, whose names all end in -El, which stood for God. Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel...

No. Raphael was named after Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, a Renaissance painter. Donatello was a sculptor. Michelangelo and Leonardo were polymaths.

You strike me as a polymath too, maceraseven!

How come?
#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 17, 2017 [SPOILER]
Fair enough. The red ninja turtle was named Raphael, because that is the Anglicized version of Raffaello. (I meant that the Renaissance painter had been named after the archangel.)
#8: sanane samanye (maceraseven) on Oct 17, 2017
Then, why the others haven't Anglicized like Raphael. Why aren't they Raphael, Michael, Leonard and Donald?

That's a question for the art historians. :)
