High Pressure (Saga of Tanya the Evil/Avatar: the Last Airbender)

Taiyin. Close enough to Tanya. There is also Tania in hindi, which literally means daughter. Though in latin and other languages it means Fairy Queen. Tania is also pronounced the same way as Tanya.

 

[Zenitheus]

Not giving Tanya's name a different spelling was a missed opportunity.

But the original series had names like Ursa and Poppy, and all the names are pronounced as they would in American English, so it's not distracting.

The names are written in English for our benefit, while the language and writing system in-universe are the equivalent of Chinese, if not Chinese itself.

I've long wondered what would happen if air benders were more inspired by the Mongols.
Though I suppose changing the name from air nomads to something like the Wind Horde will take time.

 

[Sceonn]

IIRC the Fire nation spent years picking off scattered Air Nomads who sought to return to their Air Temples so with at least one Temple still standing it could become a natural rallying point.

 

[Mr Zoat]

So 1500 kids of which 750 or so survived in the temple post attack that's a lot of orphans.

Good news! Airbenders aren't generally raised by their parents anyway!
