User:Maxim/Dub Name Predictions

This is generally a ripoff of Kenji-Girl's idea, but since I also love to predict characters' dub names (it's the first thing I do when a new epi is coming to US). So, I thought that making a dub name prediction page would be a good idea. You can also visit Kenji-Girl's page to see how similar are our predictions. It's fun after all. If you have your own predictions, then put them on the talk page or make your own page, but do not edit mine. If you edit anything here, you'll be quickly reverted because I have this page on my watchlist.

Game Characters

Character	Game	U.S. name prediction	Why	Actual U.S. name
File:Ranger II - Characters - Boy 2.jpg Hajime	DP071 and Pokémon Ranger Batonnage (or however will this name be named in U.S.)	Stanley (or Orlando)	A pun on Start/Origin.	N/A
Barō	Pokémon Ranger Batonnage (or however will this name be named in U.S.)	Barry	Well, we know practically nothing about this character. So, anything's possible...	N/A
Yamiyami-dan	Pokémon Ranger Batonnage (or however will this name be named in U.S.)	Pitch-Black Squad	Just like the Go-Rock Squad...	N/A
File:Yukari.png Yukari	Pokémon Farm	Ramona	Derived from "Ranch". But Kenji girl's prediction is also nice (and makes more sense).	Hayley

Anime Characters

Character	First appearance	Dub name prediction	Why	Actual dub name
File:Ishisu.jpg Ishisu	DP057	Isis	Nice, fitting and similar to orginal name	Isis
File:Atsuo.png Atsuo	DP058	Blase	熱い Atsui is Japanese for "hot". Atsuo - Atsui and Blase - Blaze. Makes sense, doesn't it?	Alan
File:Marble.jpg Marble	DP059	Mabel	That's how I refer to her (not only I for ya). Similar to Japanese name and perfectly fitting.	Marble
Matthew	DP059	Matthew (or Unnamed)	You know, same as Japanese. The only problem is that PUSA may not name him at all. Just like with Starter Trainers from Tenth Movie.	Matthew
File:Aki.jpg Aki	DP062	Autumn (or ???)	Fitting, Simple, and literal translation. I don't see any Fall month than can be a name. September? NO!	Autumn
File:Natsu.jpg Natsu	DP062	Summer (or June)	Literal translation, just like Aki/Autumn. Can also be June, a Summer month.	Summer
File:Haru.jpg Haru	DP062	Vera (or April)	Since "Spring" is not a name. I can see her as Vera from "Primavera". Another fitting name is April, after a Spring month.	Spring
File:Yumomi.jpg Yumomi	DP063	Kendra	Similar to Kenny.	Leona
File:Reiji.jpg Reiji	DP066	Ringo	Paul McCartney and Ringo Star. Makes sense, doesn't it? If you don't know these guys, then GO AWAY!	Reggie
Kuroda	DP066	"Judge"	Just another dull judge, who will be unnamed. Just like the poor Yōko.	Connally
File:Shizue.jpg Shizue	DP070	Maggie	A simple pun on Magic.	N/A
