As in like Lucy, Wendy, Natsu and all, their edolas friends had the same name.
How come, then, that Makarov and Gerrard were different? There are official
sources (can't remember where I saw that) that their Edo-characters were named
"Faust" and Mystogan repectively. What makes these 2 different than everyone
else, whose Edo-name was the same? (Natsu, cana, lucy, elfman, sugarboy,
hughes, coco, etc.)

Weren't the names in Edolas and Earthland the same?


Gerrard and Mystogan were not two persons but a same person who came to
earthland a long time ago and fake named Mystogan. He wasn't an earthlander
duplicate of Edolas's Gerrard.

Jellal's Edolas counterpart is named Jellal.

He says in chapter 167 "My name is Jellal" to Wendy. Mystogan is a fake name.

As for why Faust is not named Makarov, that could probably be because of the
different birth situations. The idea for the name Makarov came because he was
born to one of the founders of Fairy Tail and Mavis named him (Chapter 450).
However, Faust was never related to the Fairy Tail guild, so the Edolas Mavis
wouldn't have a chance to name him. There's a reason why he isn't the guild
master.

Since someone else named him, his name is different.

I think that is a plot hole. The thing is, there is no way everything can be
opposite in Edolas. Like you said, Faust really is Makarov and Mystogan really
is Gerrard, but in Earthand Makarov is not the father of Gerrard. You assume
that the names are coincidences for everyone (even that is very unlikely) and
do not forget that some characters were not so different in Edolas, like
Gajeel. They were very similar in personality, and also Coco seems very
similar in both cases. (Note: Earthland Coco was a filler in the anime. Along
with Sugarboy, Hughes, and Byro)

Also, remember how in Fairy Tail Battle with Laxus Natsu and Gajeel were for
some reason considered "over 80 years of age"? Well the reason for that is
revealed up ahead in the plot, which is that:

> They are actually over 400 years old. Including Wendy as well.

If you see things this way, there is no way Edo-Natsu (or Edo-Wendy or even
Edo-Gajeel) would have been there when Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla visited
Edolas, since we are sure that with Edo-people, they don't have the same
circumstances as the actual Fairy Tail members.

**In Conclusion:** I think that is an unplanned mistake; unless it is
intended, but say if Gajeel, Natsu, and Wendy weren't in Edolas then that
would raise a question too early, since the answer is revealed quite a long
time after. Perhaps Hiro had to make things that way.
