I do wonder ultimately why they did what they did. If they're trying to avoid similarity, they did a very poor job. In much of North American English, "Farrell" and "Feral" are pronounced exactly the same (see the ).

I'd be less surprised if they did get the rights to use Feral's character but then merely chose to respell/reconfigure his name. (Compare Zanramon vs. .) If this ends up being the case, then it's still totally appropriate to treat them as variations of the same character template. And it's probably a good idea to give them both a character disambiguation page anyway simply because so many native English speakers pronounce their names identically.
