I am wondering which will be the translated, official names for the new Starters from B/W. From an unconfirmed source (this 'un) the meaning of the Japanese names is:

*Tsutaja/Tsutaaja/Tsutahja or whatever way you write it: Tsuta ("ivy") + Ja (a variation of "snake", but I'm unsure)
*Pokabu: Pokapoka ("warmth", possibly an onomatopoeia) + Bu (the sound of a pig - thus, "oink")
*Mijumaru: Mijuku ("inmature") + Maru ("round")

So, let the speculation begin!
 
For me, here's what my predictions were:

The Grass starter: Leafink (leaf + skink, looks like a skink)

The Fire starter: Porkacue (pork + barbecue, get it, barbecued pig!)

The Water starter: Shellamai (shell + samurai, uses its shell like a samurai's sword)
 
As B&W have been released and all Gen V Pokemon have official English names, I don't really see the point in reviving this speculation thread.
