    Sorry if theres already a thread like this. But which do you think are the worst dub names on pokemon and why? No flame wars please. I have to say these:

    Kenta/Yoshie: Whats the point of replacing a Japanese name with another Japanese name? This isn't Mario bros ya know.
    Marina/Deni: Deni sounds like a boys' name. And Marina isn't really a Japanese name.
    Junichi/Jackson: Jackson is usually a last name! Joey, Justin, or Hank would've been much better.
    Hazuki/Harrison: Same as Jackson. There was already a Harrison before.

    The only Peeve I have about dubebd names is teh fact that Ash is hardly a common name. Even "Harrison" is a name attached to more people than "Ash" is. But Frankly, I don't really mind the dubbed names. And if theyalrady have a Harrison, so what? I know three johns, three seans, two nicks, and a ronny. :D
     
    What annoys me is the puns in the names. ??

    Ash "Ketchum" is a really bad pun IMO.
     
    M** and M**** are Evil Names... I dun even mention them >.<
    Haruka and Kasumi are MUCH better IMO...
    But specially... D***! Why D***? I know that Shuu is a japanese name, but IMO its much better XD
     
    Ash, it souds more like the remainds of a fire to me.
