Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon

Since localization has been announced, what do you guys think that the names of the characters will be changed to? I can't remember the names of all of the characters right off the bat so I'll just do the marriage candidates.

Rod - Rob or Robby or something
Allen - Will stay, though with Natsume's track record it'll probably be something like Arthur or Alex.
Sengoku - Shigure /no Due to his obvious Japanese influence they may give him an eastern name, like they did with Emiko in GrB. So...maybe Daichi or something since it's a Japanese name that's easier to pronounce.
Celka - Probably some Arabian or Indian name. ...I can't think of any, so that's my guess.
Amir - Amir /shot
Neil - I'm going to take a gamble and say that this will stay.


Felicia - We had a Felicia in IoH/SI, so at best it'll be changed to Felicity.
Iroha - Because her Japanese design is even more evident that Sengoku's, I'm confident that they'll give her an easier to pronounce eastern name. I'd guess...Kyou. /lolClannad
Yuuri - I've heard that she's a reverse trap, and since this is a Harvest Moon game I'm confident that Natsume will take that aspect out, so they'll give her an obviously feminine name. My guess is something like Liz or something.
Witch Princess - Witch Princess, obviously.
Michelle - I'd say that this one has a decent chance of staying. If not...Micayla (or however it's spelled), maybe?
Tina - Didn't we have a Tina in another English HM game? Because of that, I say that she looks kind of like a Stephanie, so my bet is on that.

And for the MC default names, due to their obvious design inspirations from Claire and Pete:
Girl - Clarise
Boy - Peter

I was thinking about making this topic...anyways
Boys:
Allen: My stay the same, but spelled differently Allan
Rod. Robert? IDK
Sengoku: Something Japanese
Amir: Same

Girls:
Yuri: something not gender specific like Alex or Taylor
Felicia: Some reason I feel like she would be named Amy
I don't know for the rest of the girls

That's fun

Rod - Rodney
Allen - Alan
Neil - Nelson

Felicia - Felicity
Tina - Tina
Iroha - Ilona
Michelle - Michelle
Yuri - Taylor

Rod - Rod
Alllen - Allen
Sengoku - Sen
Celka - Something that sounds vaguely Arabic
Schmidt - Amir
Neil - Neil

Felicia - Felicia, or if having a Felicia in another game REALLY bothers them, Felicity
Iroha - Something that sounds vaguely Japanese
Yuri - Erin
Witch Princess - Witch Princess
Michelle - Michelle
Tina - Tina

Boys:
Rod-Rodney
Allen-Allen
Amir-Amir
Celka-Celka or Selka
Neil-Neil
Sengoku-something Japanese, or maybe something European

Girls:
Felicia-Felicity
Iroha-Something of Asian influence, prob. Japanese.
Yuri-Taylor(hopefully) or something Unisex
WP-WP
Tina-Tina

Some of the villagers will also be renamed:
Kosaburo-???
Hina-???
The Cheif-Something French

Hmm, I wonder. My guesses would probably go along these lines:

I think that Allen will either stay the same or become Aaron, Alex, or something along those lines.

I don't see much reason to change Neil, so I'm going to guess that they won't, but who knows with them.

Amir is obviously going to be Amir.

Tina probably won't change.

Iroha probably will, but I kind of like it the way it is.

Felicia will probably be Faith or Fiona. Faye, possibly. Francesca would be pretty but I doubt they'd use that.

I don't know as though they will change Michelle.

Witch Princess won't.

I don't want them to change Yuri, but I know they will, so maybe Drew or Quinn.

Rod might be changed to something like Radley or Rad. It would be kind of like what they did when they named the mayor in ToTT Rutger.

Celka will probably be something Arabic or Sanskrit. I have no idea what they'd use, but to guess maybe Salil, Samad, or Shukri.

Sengoku will probably be changed to a different Japanese name. Again, it could really be anything, so to guess maybe Ren, Shou, Kouhei, or Takumi.

In case you are wondering, the answer is "yes, I was bored." This took way longer than it should've.

I'm going to leave out Amir and WP, for obvious reasons. XD
Allen: Either keeps his name or gets changed to Aaron/Alex. I just have a gut feeling about it.
Neil: Keeps his name
Rod: Rodney? Robby?
Celka: I hope he keeps his name. If not, something with Arabic origins.
Sengoku: SHIGURE.8D *slapped* Either that or another japanese name.

Tina: Keeps her name
Felicia: Keeps her name, probably. If not, I'm rooting for Felicity (not gonna happen) or Fran. ^^d
Michelle: Keeps her name (the girls' names are already westernized. XD)
Iroha: Hoo boy, this was a hard one. I want her to either keep her name or become Yumi, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
Yuri: Taylor. Definately.

These are more so just preferred by me~

Allen--> Alan
Rod--> Donny maybe? No idea.
Sengoku--> Simply "Sen"?
Celka--> Celka
Neil--> Looks kinda like a Clive.
Amir--> No idea. Didn't I hear he was in another game?

Felicia--> Something regal, maybe with a "C". Catherine?
Iroha--> Rei, but maybe Americanized like Ray.
Michelle--> Stephanie?
Tina--> Tina
Yuri--> "Jo"sephine or something? She seems Euro-classy, but I like the unisex name idea, so Jo :D
Witch Princess--> If given a name like in AP, then Lisa, or more uniquely, Leesa.

I dunno, I kinda like a few of these >.<

Rod - Rod/Rodney
Alllen - Allen/Allan
Sengoku - I vote for Goku
Celka - some Arabic name, I vote Shakira
Schmidt - Amir
Neil - Neil

Felicia - Felicity
Iroha - Iroha or some other Japanese name
Yuri - Taylor (guys, guys...she's a tailor...I can't take this...they have to name her that xD)
Witch Princess - Witch Princess
Michelle - Michelle
Tina - Tina

Wasn't the main girl for Magical Melody named Tina..? I'm not sure they'd be willing to use that name again, even if it was only used for a main protagonist that you can name whatever you want.

Allen --> Alan or Aaron
Amir --> CERTAINLY gonna stay the same, since his name was Amir in HM GrB
Celka --> Something that sounds middle-eastern/ arabian
Neil --> Might keep his name.
Rod --> Ryan or Rodney? o.O
Sengoku --> SHIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGUUUUUUUREEEEEEEEE //slapped with Dusk


Felicia --> Either gonna keep it, or Felicity
Tina --> Will probably stay
Yuri --> Taylor
Iroha --> Uh....Aurora? (._. )
Michelle --> MADOKA //slapped again
Witch Princess --> Certainly stays the same

Sengoku = Soseki
