We know that a Pokemon Ranger themed episode is coming soon, and the Ranger in question is named Hinata in Japan.

But my question is: What do you think she'll be named in English?

To start, I looked Hinata up in a Japanese to English dictionary...and it basically means "sunny". That's one choice of a name right there.

If we go a step further and look up "sun" in a baby name dictionary; we get a few more choices:

Tanya
Kira
Helia

Of course, knowing Nintendo of America, they'll probably give her an H-name...

What do you think?

It's a hard choice, maybe just plan Sunny? Meh, I suck with names...
 
Fortunately they only did that once. (Well twice if you include Todd/Snap but that was for KidsWB only). She'll probably be called whatever she is in the Ranger Game.
 
She'll have the same name as her official Nintendo name, whatever that is.
 
Kira, Tanya... lol! That would mean that Jetix want to take over the show :p
 
I was thinking they'd have something with an H in it, I do recall a handful of times where They didn't alter the name. in my opinion, Helia is an interesting name, because it is from the Latin Helius

With that said, I don't understand them either....

It may depend not on 4Kids, but on NoA. Unless they decide to pull a Prima/Lorelei again.
