User:Kenji-girl/U.S. name predictions

These are my guesses to what the new names of future game/anime characters will be once they debut in the US.

Game

Character	First appearance	US name prediction	Why	Actual US name	Accuracy
Yukari	My Pokémon Ranch	Mimi	Derived from "Mii" of course. Also is like "Bebe".	Hayley	WAY OFF!
Hajime	Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia	Ordell	Ordell means "beginning". Just like Hajime.	Kellyn	Wrong
Hitomi	Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia	Iris	Because Hitomi can mean "eye" or "pupil", that's why I thought of Iris	Kate	Wrong again.
Kotone	Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver	Melody or Harmony	Kotone means "harp sound". So I figured something evolving music would be appropriate. More names later.	N/A	N/A

Sinnoh Frontier Brains

Since the name of the Medals came out, I'm gonna give it a shot. They'll probably be wrong anyway. Except for the first word in there names. Not doing Palmer for obvious reasons.

Character	First appearance	US name prediction	Why	Actual US name	Accuracy
Error creating thumbnail: convert: MemoryAllocationFailed `Cannot allocate memory'. Factory Head Nejiki	Pokémon Platinum	Factory Head Fabio	Sounds similar to factory	Factory Head Thorton	Got the Factory Head part right *slapped*
Roulette Goddess Dahlia	Pokémon Platinum	Roulette Mistress Rochelle	Similar to roulette. They'll probably get rid of the term "goddess" because idiot parents would find it offensive.	Arcade Star Dahlia	Well they kept Dahlia but got rid of roulette.
Castle Butler Kokuran and Cattleya	Pokémon Platinum	Castle Servant Castor and Calista	Names are similar to castle.	Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin	Valet say what???
Stage Madonna Kate	Pokémon Platinum	Stage Artist Stacie	Names are similar to stage. They might drop madonna because of the artist of the same name. Stupid, I know, but if they were worried about what Rice Crispies was going to say about Snap then I don't know.	Hall Matron Argenta	Well they completely changed her title but translated her name from Japanese to English

Anime

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.

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
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 Chrisanthymum	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...
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.
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.
Tetsuo	DP118	Travis	Cause	Jason Griffith	Taylor	Billy Regan	Wrong

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
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
