These are my guesses to what the new names of future anime characters will be once they debut in the US.
Note to other users: You may edit this page ONLY to change the images. DO NOT add dub names. I will get to it myself.
The Unova Special
I know I said I wouldn't do games anymore. But I really want to do Black and White. I'm not doing every character though.
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Accuracy |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
File:Juniper.png Professor Araragi |
Black and White | Professor Aspen | From the Aspen tree. I know her name is from Yew, but I don't think America will use that. | Professor Juniper | Not even close. I shouldn't be surprised though |
Dent |
Black and White | Clover | Yes, I know, it' a girl's name. Of course, he wouldn't be the first. I just think this because it's a plant that has three leaves. I don't really like this prediction and it will probably be wrong, but I wanted to try D: | Cilan | Yuck... cilantro. The name is great, I just find cilantro disgusting. Better than what I said. |
Pod |
Black and White | Still thinking about it | It'll be hard to guess his name. I don't know what they will pun. The Tri thing or the types. | Chili | Oh God, why...? I get the theme you were going for but, ugh... Cayenne would have been 100 times better! |
Corn |
Black and White | Still thinking about it | It'll be hard to guess his name. I don't know what they will pun. The Tri thing or the types. | Cress | Like Cilan, nice choice. |
Aloe |
Black and White | Regina | From regular, referring to Normal-types | Lenora | No comment |

File:VSHachiku.png Hachiku |
Black and White | Fritz | From freeze, referring to Ice-types | N/A | N/A |

Hajime |
DP071 | Ordell | Ordell means "beginning". Just like Hajime. | Kellyn | Wrong |

Shō |
DP074 | Sean | Similar to Shō | Sho | Wait, they chose to use his Japanese name? That's unusual. |
Chiaki |
DP076 | Charles or Roman |
Sounds similar. Roman is after the in-game character he was based on. | Roman | Right on Roman! |
Chinatsu |
DP076 | Charity or Kylie |
Sounds similar. Kylie is after the in-game character she was based on. | Kylie | Right on Kylie! |

Chōko |
DP086 | Chanel | After the designer brand, Chanel | Cocoa | Well, I kinda got it right. Gabrielle Coco Chanel. |
Aoi |
DP088 | Violet or Amy |
Her Japanese name means blue and something close to that would be violet. | Angie | E... sorta similar to Amy. |
Kensuke |
DP090 | Kenneth | Yes Maxim guessed this first, but I agree with him. But it might be too similar to Kenny. | Kendall | Close enough |
File:Mitchell PSA.png Mitsuki |
DP090 | Never guessed | Mitchell | Well I never bothered thinking up a prediction | |
Yuri |
DP094 | Ursula | Donno. Just think so. | Lila | Missed. But I guess it fits because Yuri means lily and Lila is sort of like lilac. |
Professor Karashina |
DP096 | Professor Chrysanthemum | Well it sounds similar and its a plant, like the other professors. | Professor Carolina | Wrong. Seriously, WTF? Did we have to go for a name that sounds almost like another important character's name... |
File:Barry.png Jun |
DP101 | Barry or Josh |
Barry because it's one of the default names. Josh cause it starts with J. I don't know.... It'd be a little weird if his name was Barry because it sounds too similar to Gary. | Barry | Yay |
Galactic Battles
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | VA prediction | Actual US name | Actual VA | Accuracy |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Urara |
DP114 | Gabrielle or Renee |
Gabrielle sounds like Gabite. If you can figure out why I guessed Renee you get a prize! The clue lies in Zoey. | Liza Jacqueline | Ursula | Melissa Schoenberg | Puh... Ursula. Gabrielle would have been better. Seems that everyone predicting got this right though. |
File:Christopher Sinnoh.png Yūsaku |
DP117 | Sundance | Only picking it cause I'm thinking of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Even though he's more related to Jessie and James. | Tom Wayland | Christopher | Sean Schemmel | Christopher? Really? Now all we need is Christopher (Hoenn) and we'll have one in every region. |
File:Taylor Sinnoh.png Tetsuo |
DP118 | Travis | Cause | Jason Griffith | Taylor | Billy Regan | Wrong |
File:Porto.png Porto |
DP118 | Port or Gordo |
Don't know if they'll want the extra "o" there. Or they'll just change it completely. | Dan Green | Provo | Sean Schemmel | Wrong |
Sanpei |
DP118 | Sandy | Sounds like Sanpei. Ohnoes Maxim is going to kill me for using a unisex yet mostly feminine name... Though I'm not sure I'm spelling it the male way. | Billy Beach | Steveland | Erica Schroeder | Steveland?!? Really? |
File:DP121 teacher.png Teacher |
DP121 | No name | Because she wasn't important enough. I don't know why I'm even listing her. | Bella Hudson | No name | Rebecca Soler | Right about her not being named |
File:DP124 cotd.png Ō |
DP124 | Master O | Ō is an unusual name... I think they'll pull another Sho and leave it. He should go on a date with J. | Scottie Ray | O | Jason Griffith | That's basically right. Gonna go make some OJ 8D. |
Hakua |
DP124 | Harold | Cause. | Tom Wayland | Halverson | Tom Wayland | What the hell? I have never heard of that name in my life. |
Marilyn |
DP125 | Marilyn | Western-sounding name. Won't change. | Kether Donahue | Marilyn | Bella Hudson | Right |
Ubukata |
DP126 | Mr. Stanford | Random guess... He's an professional-looking adult so he will probably have Mr. in his name. | Craig Blair | Jeremiah | Tom Wayland | Wrong |
Mikoto |
DP128 | Miley | Starts with "Mi". Plus with Miley Cyrus being at the height of her popularity. Heh, it be funny if Mikoto and Cyrus met XD | Amy Birnbaum | Maria | Rebecca Soler | Wrong. Fine I guess. |
Osabaki | DP131 | Oscar | Sounds like Oscar. Yeah I know there is already an Oscar but not like they haven't used names more than once. | Sean Reyes | Olivier | Sean Schemmel | Wrong |
Konoha | DP134 | Maple | Konoha means leaves so I came up with Maple, for maple leaves. | Amy Palant | Verona | Amy Palant | Wrong name right VA |
File:Atsuki.pngAtsuki | DP135 | Ronnie | A gender spin on Bonnie and Clyde. Kinda like what happened to Oscar and Andi. | Billy Regan | Azure | Parker Anderson | Wow that was totally unexpected. |
File:Chishio.pngChishio | DP135 | Blythe | A gender spin on Bonnie and Clyde | Lisa Ortiz | Crimson | Rachael S. Stern | So was that. |
File:Lulu.pngLulu | DP137 | Lulu | Western name. Won't change. | Rachel Lillis | Lulu | Eileen Stevens | Right |
Noa | DP138 | Noel | Cause it's similar | Emily Williams | Noelle | Angora Deb | OMFG! That's essentially the same name. Only spelled different. But it looks more feminine that way. |
Iizō Iino |
DP138 | Andy Anderson (Mr. Anderson) | Starts with a vowel. Also, I think there gonna pull another Mitch Mitchum and make the first name sound similar to the surname. Similar to there Japanese names. | Dan Green | Izzy | Ed Paul | Wrong. Again a name that I guessed for one character is used for another. |
Kane Iino |
DP138 | Karen Anderson (Mrs. Anderson) | Cause it's similar | Kayzie Rogers | Cara | Georgette Reilly | "Cara", "Karen", sounds similar. |
Nayuta |

Kotone |
DP143 | Melody or Harmony |
Same as game | I still don't know | Lyra | Eileen Stevens | Yay. |
Kazunari |
DP143 | Kameron or Carson |
Similar. Might start with a C also. | Wayne Grayson | Khoury | Christopher Noisi | No comment really |
Bokuzen |
DP144 | Unnamed | I don't believe he'll have a name | Billy Beach | Benjamin | Bill Tost | That's a perfect dub name for him |
Mobuo | DP146 | Moses | Starts with an M | Sean Schemmel | Mario | Tom Wayland | Itza Me! MARIO!! |
File:Mitchell.png Michiru |
DP148 | Michael | I really want to say Mitchell but they already used that in Sinnoh. And I don't expect PUSA to be stupid like 4Kids and make to characters of the same name in the same region. | Erica Schroeder | Mitchell | Amy Palant | I have lost all faith in PUSA... You fail hard for this. |
Ruchiru |
DP148 | Lucille or Michele |
Ruchiru is almost like the romanization of Lucille. Michele is similar to Michael | Rebecca Soler | Rhyanna | Lisa Ortiz | Peh... |
Dr. Kodama |
DP148 | Dunno | N/A | Billy Beach | Professor Kodama | Tristan Goddard | They left this one alone. |

DP173 | Michaela | Same sounding | Some random new VA | Narissa | Lisa Ortiz | It figures. I guess new VA and it isn't. |
