What do you think character dub names shall be?

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

Title speaks for itself. i did a topic like this once, and since there's no others like it, this won't be against the rules.

Tetsuya: Thompson (In the Dub Titles thread, a member mentioned how the league rivals end in 'son'. The names also sound like second names, and take the 'son' off and you get a somewhat real name. Thanks to the member for helping me out in the theory)

Kaede: Katie or Kade. They may go with names that sound like the original names, and seeing how the latter sounds the most like the original name, it's likely.

 

[CyberCubed]

I agree with Katie, that sounds likely.

As for Tetsuya? Teddy? Theodore? Testicular? Tommy?

 

[Rufinito18]

i HIhGLY doubt testicular...
I think Thompson is fine

I think theyre gonna leave Kaede...it sounds ok in english

 

[Atoyont]

I think Tetsuya will be Taylor.

 

[V Faction]

It can't be Taylor because Taylor doesn't have the same amount of syllables.

Thompson sounds fitting and I hadn't even thought of that. Katie is also a winner.

Hyugga = Harry (I think this one is fairly obvious...)

Jump = Perhaps it'll stay Jump

Garon = Grayson?

EDIT: And here's the names for those who do not know -

Yuriko (Funky girl, fought Tetsuya)

Jump (Big lips, fought Morrison)

Genki (Karate kid, fought Ash)

Garon (Musclebuilder, fought Morrison)

Tomono (Emerald-hair kid, fought Ash)

Huuga (Harry Potter look alike, fought Ash)

Jonbi (Mountaineer, fought Tetsuya)

Kaeda (Badass woman, fought Ash)

 

[Medea]

I've been thinking about that girl from the recent contest Wakana and her dub name being Wanda (just a thought)

 

[CyberCubed]

Or Wendy.

10 character limit.

 

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

Tetsuya:Ted. Why? Because he has big hair. I associate big hair with the name Ted. Don't ask.
Kaede:Kathy or Katherine
Jump:Same. And give him a Jamaican accent, dubbers, please!
Hyuuga:Hugo. Because 4Kids fears lawsuits.
Garon:Garson
Tomono:Thompson. Because PB wouldn't like it. Speaking of PB, where is she? I haven't seen her post here in months.
Genki:Jenkins
Jonbe:Jenson

 

[jolteonjak]

My guesses:

Tetsuya = Terrence
Keade = Katie
Hyugga = Harry
Jump = Jack
Genki = Benny (lol)
Tomono = Tommy

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

Other names on here for Tetsuya look good, especially Jolteonjak's Terrance. If it's not Thompson, it should be that.

 

[S.Suikun]

Tonpei = Tony
Tetsuya = Timothy
Yuriko = Yolanda
Tomono = Thomas
Hyuuga = Hugo
Kaede = Kate
Aaron = Aaron
Kid = Kate (They repeat names all the time, okay?)
Eileen = Elaine
Lilian = Lilian
Mituo = Mitch
Adumi = Adeline
Toran = Tori
Resu = Rita
Dr. Gordon = Dr. Gordon
Tuguyo = Teresa
Momoko = Martha
Ryuuta = Raymond
Shiromi = Shareena
Hinata = Hannah
Ichiko = Ilsa
Wakana = Wanda

Kid = Kate (They repeat names all the time, okay?)

Hmm... No, they tend to keep more English names (or words in this case). I don't see them having a problem with calling her Kid all the same.

 

[S.Suikun]

I don't follow...Clarification, please?

 

[V Faction]

Kid will keep her name in the dub.

 

[Alfonso]

V, it's Hyuuga, not Huuga.

 

[V Faction]

Hyuuga.

Is that 3 syllables or 2.

 

[Alfonso]

Two.

Hyuu-ga. But to be honest, I don't see why so many people are comparing him to Harry Potter. He's into conducting, and makes various concert references, not magic.

He's a blatant Harry Potter parody. The conducting 'baton' is there for them to say exactly what you've said, "he's into conducting and music, not magic." Tis a scapegoat. But the scarf, the hair, the glasses, and yes, the wand, all point to Harry Potter as the inspiration.

And even if he wasn't, it doesn't affect the plot at all. Personally, I don't care because 4Kids! will either fall into the Harry Potter gimmick or stick with something close to the original, like Hugo.

Got that from that topic about the dubbed movie? Aaron's the same too.

Wakana: Wanda, Wendy, Winnie

No, I did not. I merely assumed (but my assumption was probably the safest one). Is it the same then?
