SubaRyu - I think "Ryu" literally phonetically translated would be closer to "uhdEEoo". I know most English linguists would disagree, but using L in place of R is ignorant of them. What we translate as R in your language is really closer to D to begin with. (:
D and L are the same sound really, but L is drawn out and soft while D is very short and blunt.

That reminded me once one of my nickname was "Dude" because some thought that sounded like my name.

Anywayz. Found the link how you can listen to Alcyone in Japanese.
