Does anyone know the names for the SNES, 64/BTN, and AWL bachelor/ettes in Japan? I know some of the AWL ones like Muu -> Muffy and Serena (Selena?) -> Celia, but it's pretty hard to find the others. Not even the Wiki lists them.

SNES: Same as the US version.
64/BTN: Marie -> Mary and Ran -> Ann, all other bachelor/ette names are unchanged.
A(n)WL: Sepilia/Sepiria -> Celia, Muumuu -> Muffy, Mash -> Marlin. The rest are unchanged.

And since the HM DS/Cute versions of the AWL/BTN characters have different names I'll list them here just for good measure, excluding the ones you already know:
Bachelorettes: Leona -> Lumina, Nasuka/Nasca/Nazka ->Nami, Ellis -> Elli, Carley/ Curley(lol)/ Kahry -> Karen, Alisa/Arisa -> Popuri, Maryvia -> Mary, Afi -> Ann.
Bachelors: Ash -> Marlin, Romeo(O_o)-> Rock, Gusta -> Gustafa, Ain -> Kai, Toore/Thole -> Trent, Mick -> Rick, Purple(are you kidding?) -> Gray, Harifu/Hariff -> Cliff.

Let me know if you're curious about any other names. Hope this helped!

"Ran"? Is that a Japanese name or something?

No, I think that's what I needed. It's easier to find the Japanese names for the newer titles. Thanks.

yes. it means orchid (usually. japanese names mean different things depending on the kanji or lack thereof)

I know "Ran"'s a Japanese name (seen it in a few anime), but I wouldn't put it past the devs to just name her the English word either. I wouldn't imagine Ann had a name change. No one ever mentions it. If anything, Popuri seems like the type.
