I apologize if I seemed hostile.

But in Japan the Italian word Blu is primarily written as ブル. That is how it is written primarily in their language. Alternatively they will write it the same as Blue which is ブルー but primarily the popular way of writing it is ブル as shown in some of the examples I present below.

"イタリア語：ブル(blu)"


http://naming-dic.com/word/it/88516458 < This site has it as both ブル and ブルー
"青（あお）のイタリア語 ブル"

Again, Rosso is the Italian word for red, and considering that they are paired up whether or not they start as friends or foe, it is obvious that they are going Italian with their naming scheme for these two. So thus it is not Ultraman Ferdinand but Ultraman Blu.

And Imma drop this here...
