I understand what people are saying about this being an English wiki but...

Seeing as most of the names are single words and otherwise not very...namely, then names in the utaite fandom are more of "a sequence of syllables meant to represent a person." There is hardly any familial importance or relationships or anything like that that we see in real life. In other words, they are just usernames like any other - just in "proper name format".

The reason my vote leans towards Eastern, then, is for easy identification. When other people talk to utaite or when they refer to themselves, then they will use Eastern order, because, well, that is what the name reads on the screen. It may be confusing to people when they see one order on here and hear another in, say, a namahousou.

I'd completely forgotten about them, but yes, YouTube singers who present their names in Western order should have their names kept as such.
