Card Trivia talk:Fortune Fairy Ann

I was wondering how well-established it is that Fortune Fairy Ann's name is based on the word 暗黒 (ankoku)? It seems to me that what all the Fortune Fairies have in common is that their names resemble readings of the kanji representing their respective Attributes. (Much as the Fortune Lady cards have names resembling the English names of their Attributes.)

In the case of Ann, her Attribute is DARK, which is represented by the kanji 闇. The most common on'yomi (Chinese reading) of 闇 is アン (an). Indeed, the word 暗黒 can also be spelled 闇黒; it is less common, but it does occur, for example in the Japanese names of Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair and Lair of Darkness.

Since I don't have a source proving one source or another, I'm thinking I might change that bit to say something like:

Her name may be derived from the Japanese 「暗黒」 ("ankoku") meaning "darkness". Another possibility is that her name is based on the kanji 闇, which represents the DARK Attribute and may be read as "an".
