Please note, the game is itself canon. It's meant to be take as an actual game on Remnant. Basically Remnant's equivalent to those Olympics tie-in games. We can assume that Neo Politan is the name she used as her disguise during the Vytal tournament.
 * 1) "Neo Politan" was not a fan suggestion. Just because a few fans were misinformed pre-Chibi doesn't make it such.
 * 2) Neo was in disguise during the tournament. Why would she be using any variation of her own name, considering her connection with Roman was already known?
