Yuto’s name in Japanese katakana is ユート

Phonetically, yuuto

Doesn’t leave much room for it to be transcribed as “Ute”

Best-case, they were going for “Uto” but even then it’s a stretch

And with the lookalike-Yuya and the “Yu” naming scheme there for context, would it really make sense for it to be Ute? :P

Romanized things in the anime have always had a slight margin of error.  Remember “MORTETN”/”MOMENTUM?” Also the time or two they misromanized Rua and Ruka’s names? It could be true, it might not, but until there’s some official word on it, going with the context leading to “Yuto” is our best bet.  

The same should go for Reira too, as much of an L/R issue as it is: he’s Reiji’s brother, so Reira makes a little more sense than Layra.  Though it does sound a bit weird to say out loud lol.
