Because to preserver the pun you need the Kuri.
Who said you had to preserve the pun though?
And is Toriyama wrong when he spells it "Kulilin"?

The filters are mostly for my personal amusement. The consistency thing is merely but an afterthought. A good one, though :P.

I say Kurillin. It's pronounced the same way as the dub name, it's technically a correct transliteration(except for the doubled L), and it preserves the pun.

Well some people have grown up watching the dub where they consistantly call him "krillin". Its sort of just by habit.
Cuz you're an ocean, you're an ocean, settle down settle down what's the commotion?

Ditto. I'm so used to calling him Krillin that Kuririn just looks odd to me. xD

I'm quite fond of typing Kuririn, but I still speak it "Krillin" due to ease. I can say it the Japanese way, though. I just don't want to.
