Should we change the spelling to "Analog" to use American spelling rules? American English tends to distinguish between the two spellings, reserving "analogue" to mean "something which is like something else" (as in, the modern analogue of X), but not "something which an analogy is drawn from" (as in, "In an analogy, the analog corresponds to the target.") or "not digital; ranging continuously between values" (as in, "analog signal.") Meanwhile, British English tends to spell all of them as "analogue." Haha, it doesn't really matter. Ok (talk) 16:03, February 22, 2019 (EST)

We would use whatever name the villager is called in-game. So if the game refers to him as Analogue, we will too, regardless of American English spelling rules. Drago (talk) Drago PC Villager Icon.png 12:11, February 23, 2019 (EST)
He only appears in the Japanese DnMe+, so he doesn't have an official in-game spelling for his name in English. His in-game name is アナログ (Anarogu), which is just the English word analog/analogue. Ok (talk) 12:56, February 23, 2019 (EST)
