Yes? If you talk about his name, you talk about katakana. ブラッドスターク is "his name," it always has been. I'm saying that the タ character doesn't strictly mean "ar", not even if Stark is a more common transliteration of スターク. No translator is the almighty authority on it. His official Japanese name contains no "R" sound, only allusions to it - or alternatively, the L sound. We've known about how his name is spelled in katakana. Stark is simply what it's been transliterated as, until Bandai offered an official spelling. Being spelled  スターク  does not strictly mean it's Stark, and since Bandai has confirmed that it's not Stark, we should use their spelling. It's not a case of Gord/Alfa, because the transliteration Stalk is viable, even if it is, let's say, "recessive" compared to Stark.
