User:Maxim/BW English Name Predictions

After much hesitation, I decided to predict the names of Pokémon Black and White characters. I was asked for that by different people. So, if people like my predictions, I feel obliged to carry on. While I may not like BW Pokémon (even though they don't annoy me that much, I still think this is the worst generation), I'm fine with most characters. However, I'm bored of predicting every single CoTD name. I think I'll predict only game characters and the most major anime characters. If I predict anything else, that'd be the towns/places, if I get any good idea for names.

I decided to start from scratch, along with the new era. For older predictions, please see User: Maxim/Dub Name Predictions.

Japanese Name	U.S. name prediction	Reason
Tōya	Clark	From "clear" (if Japanese name is indeed based on 透 tō, transparent).
Tōko	Clarice	Same as Tōya.
Cheren	Cheren or Nigel	I love the name Cheren, as it comes from Slavic languages (and I'm Polish). But it probably still sounds "too Japanese" for whiny NoA translators. So, I've got an alternate prediction - Nigel, which of course comes from Latin niger.
Bel	Bell or Alba	Again, keep the Slavic-derived name (in my favoured spelling) or use a Latin-derived one.
Professor Araragi	Prof. Cedar	Because "Prof. Yew" sounds unacceptably ugly to me.
Makomo	Dorothy	From the root dorm- for "dream".
Shōro	Ramona	She's Isshu's Box System operator, so her name shuld derive from a computer technical abbreviation. Ramona comes from RAM, obviously.
N	N	Do I have to explain?
Goetis? Getis? Gaytis? Dennis?	Arcus	Latin for rainbow, a mysterious and ancient-sounding name.
Vio Ryokushi Giallo Rot Sumura Asura	Ingvar Virgil Flavian Ruben Auron Carlisle	From indigo From viridis (Latin for green) From flavus (Latin for yellow) From ruber (Latin for red) From aurantia (Latin for orange) or aureus (golden) From caeruleus (blue). Why just Latin? It's the ancient language, so I find it the most fitting. Also, Latin always gives best puns for normal-sounding Eastern names.
Nobori	Aston	From the word "ascend" (which is 上り nobori in Japanese. 上り下り noborikudari means "going up and down").
Kudari	Desmond	From the word "descend", counterpart to Nobori.
Gaidō	Guido	From "guide", obviously.
Bourgeoir Family Drake Susan Quadona Zillion Trish Mile	Duefeller Family: Draco Susan Donna Gilles Trish Miles	I'm sure that their surname will be Something-feller. Probably something battle-related, so I came up with Duefeller. The names are alikes, but they'll most likely end up being something completely random (Drake shouldn't be kept because of Elite Four Drake).
Dent	Verry or Woody	Verry from the word "green" (Verde in Spanish and Italian), Woody is obviously from wood, as he's the Grass Leader. I don't believe that they'll keep Dent, as they'd have to keep all three, as they make the pun together. And I'm sure that NoA wouldn't want a character named "Corn".
Pod	Ross or Burt	Ross from Italian rosso, red. Burt from burning.
Corn	Hyde	Couldn't find any good Blue-derived name. Hyde is from hydro-, prefix for water. Also, a very badass name.
Aloe	Regina or Reggie	From the word "regular". I don't see a reason that Aloe should be left out, it's not a nice name and the translator aren't that fond of plant names.
Kidachi	Foster	Kidachi (Aloe's husband) is the head of Shippō City Museum. Foster comes from fossils.
Arty	Colbert or Arty/Arthur	Colbert is from coleopter. But they could keep Arty as well (or Arthur, as this is the full version of the name), as it refers to arachnids and to the fact that he's an artist.
Kamitsure	Amber	The word "electricity" itself derives from Greek word electron, meaning "amber" (because it was first discovered while experimenting with an amber). Also, Amber sounds very similar to ampere and can refer to a yellowish color, representing electricity. Hence, I think this is just a perfect name for a female Electric-type leader. Also, I don't think that NoA will be THAT uncreative to call her "Electra", as almost everyone else thinks.
Yacon	Diego	From "digging". Have to come up with something better.
Fūro	Avia or Raven	Avia from aviation, Raven is a bird.
Hachiku	Frederic	From freeze.
Iris	Iris or Dracia	One of the candidates to be kept. Dracia is in the case they wanted something more draconic.
Shaga	Conrad	Anagram of "dracon", the word for dragon in many languages.
Shikimi	Polly or Alma	Polly from poltergeist. Alma is a Spanish word for soul.
Gīma	Malcolm	From the prefix mal- meaning bad (malevolent = bad-willed).
Renbu	Tyson or Faust	Tyson is obvious. Faust is the German word for fist.
Adeku	No idea	I have really no clue on his name. I just have to wake up someday with a perfect name for him. I'll never find any good name for him, the name has to find ME!
Shooty	Sherman	He's an anime-only character. And PUSA, as we know, is much less creative than NoA. So, I just thought of a similar name. But it's possible that they'll pull another Paul and he'll get an unpredictable name.
Don George	Don Jorge	"Don" is a honorific used in Romance-speaking country (such as Italy or Spain) so I guess "Don George" sounds awkward to an American person (Don + an English name). I think changing it to Don Jorge will do well. I'm not sure if he'll be an important character but he's been featured on the Settei sheet and official website, so maybe he's worth my prediction.
