Foreign translations can often play with character names. They may be changed into something different, or they can be only slightly changed. But sometimes they don't. Or, in some cases, they are still written the same way but the way it's pronounced differs from the original version. This may be because the language the dub is made with is used to pronounce certain phonetics in a different way than in the original language the name was written with, or just for a mistake. This trope often comes about due to trying to make the word feel as natural in the local language as possible, where excessive fidelity to foreign language terminology may break the flow of dialogue. It likewise may attempt to recontextualize words that have unfortunate meanings in another language. Compare with Viewer Pronunciation Confusion. Can sometime overlap with Clean Dub Name and In My Language, That Sounds Like..., if the change is made to make the name not sound like a swear word. If at a certain point the original pronounciation is brought in, it counts as Ditching the Dub Names. |

Genshin Impact: In the German-themed nation of Mondstadt, Klee's name should be pronounced like "kleh" since it's the German word for "clover". The Japanese dub pronounces it the German way, but in the English dub it is pronounced like "tree". | |

PAW Patrol: In the Latin American Spanish dub, the 'PAW' in 'PAW Patrol' is pronounced "pow" as opposed to "pah" in the original English version. In that same dub, Marshall's name is inconsistently pronounced like "mar-chawl" instead of "mar-shawl", such as in the theme song. In the Italian dub, this doubles with Inconsistent Dub, as it's pronounced "pah" in the theme song but "pow" in the proper show. |

The Simpsons has some examples in the Italian dub; Most notably, the H in Homer's name is silent, due to H always being silent in Italian. Apu's name is pronounced "AH-pu" instead of "a-PU". Milhouse's name is pronounced with the stress on the 'house' rather than the 'mil', and the H also becomes silent |

The Octonauts: The French dub fudges the titular team's pronunciation from "ok-to-nots" to "ohk-to-nohts". In the American dub, Peso is given a Hispanic accent and pronounces his own name like "peh-so", but everyone elsenote except for his mother and Pinto, who are also given Hispanic accents pronounces it "pay-so". It's never commented on in-universe, so it seems that both pronunciations are valid. In "The Scared Sperm Whale", Simon's name (which is pronounced "sai-min" in the original English dub) is pronounced "see-mohn" in the French and European Spanish dubs. |

Donald Duck retains his original English name in Norway, unlike in all the other Scandinavian countries, but the pronounciation was norwegianized into "DO-nahld doock" rather than "Dohn-ald Duck". Similarly, his Alternate Company Equivalent, Daffy Duck also retains his English name in Norwegian even though most other Looney Tunes characters had their names completely changed (Sylvester, Taz and Speedy Gonzales being the exceptions). While the English pronounciation of "Duck" is retained in this case however, his first name is pronounced "Dah-ffy". |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): Mojo Jojo's name is a point of contention between dubs. In the Latin American Spanish dub, his name is pronounced "mo-ho ho-ho", in accordance with Spanish pronunciation rules. In the Polish dub, his name is pronounced as "mo-yo yo-yo", also in accordance with Polish phonology. In the Hungarian dub, his name is a combination of the above two examples: "Mo-ho Yo-yo". This was deliberate, as mohó means "greedy". |

In the English localization of the Dynasty Warriors titles, the character names are read using the English pronounciation. This results Cao Cao being spelled "Cow Cow" instead of "T'sao T'sao", amongst others. Most of this has been fixed starting from the 6th game, but some less egregious ones, like Guan Yu not being read as "Kuan Yu", still remains. | |

Harry Potter: The Hungarian dub of the films change the pronunciation of several names. Notably, the protagonist's family name is pronounced with a longer "t" than in English (as double consonants in Hungarian are always pronounced longer than single consonants), and Hermione's name is pronounced as "Her-mee-o-neh" instead of "Her-my-nee". The Italian dub also pronounces Hermione's name as "Her-mee-o-neh". This actually caused a small flub as the Italian translation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has Krum mispronouncing Hermione's name in a way similar to the one used in the movie dub while she corrects him with the original English pronounce. The European Spanish dub pronounces Hermione´s name as "Her-mee-on". |

In the Cardcaptors dub of Cardcaptor Sakura, Sakura's name is pronounced "Sah-coo-rah" instead of "Sock-oo-rah". It's inconsistent whether the accent is on the first or second syllable. There is also the occasional "suck-URR-ah." There's also the pronunciation of "Clow". The original Japanese and the Animax English dubs has it rhyme with "flow", but in all of the other English dubs including the dub of Clear Card it's pronounced similarly to "cloud". Kero is pronounced "keh-ro" in the original Japanese and Clear Card dubs but pronounced like "key-ro" in the Nelvana and Animax English dubs. | |

Gundam: "Gundam" itself is pronounced in Japanese as "GAHN-dah-mu", which typically becomes "GUN-dumb" in English and similar languages, as it was meant to combine the words "gun" and "freedom". The English dubs of the 0079 compilation movies pronounced it with an emphatic "Gun-Damn". The Italian dubs throughout the franchise pronounces Gundam as "Goon-Dum". Mobile Suit Gundam: Char Aznable is name after the French musician Charles Aznavour, which the Japanese versions reflects by pronouncing like "Shaw". Most English dubs pronounce it as a homophone for "char", as if shortening the English pronunciation of "Charles". The Titans from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam are called "tee-tan-zu" in Japanese, mimicking the word's Greek origin. The English dub pronounces it as the word usually is in the language, a homophone for "tightens". |

The Italian dub also pronounces Hermione's name as "Her-mee-o-neh". This actually caused a small flub as the Italian translation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has Krum mispronouncing Hermione's name in a way similar to the one used in the movie dub while she corrects him with the original English pronounce. | |

Dragon Ball: In the Italian dub, Chichi's name has been almost always pronounced as "Kiki", since "ch" is always a hard sound in Italian language. The only time it didn't happen is in the earlier dub of the films, which had a more faithful localization than the show's. Chichi's name is kept the same in the European Spanish dub, but adds more emphasis on the second "chi" ("chee-CHEE") to keep it from sounding too much like the slang term for boobs. In The Ocean Group's English dub, the Kaioh-ken move is pronounced "Kei-yo-ken" rather than "Kai-yo-ken". Later English dubs revert to the Japanese pronunciation. In the Italian dub of Dragon Ball Super, Jaco's name is pronounced "Yaco" since the Italian language usually pronounces the letter J as a "ee" sound. In the Danish dub, the "ch" sound in Chiaotzu's name is pronounced like a "k" sound (so his name pronunciation becomes "Kao-Zoo"), possibly because "ch" can be pronounced in that way in some Danish names of German origin. Since the Hungarian dubs of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were based on the French dubs, many French name pronunciations were carried over, such as "Zhys" for Jeice and "Zhinoe" for Ginyu. The latter was also kept for Dragon Ball Super for the sake of consistency, despite this dub being based on the Japanese original. |

Pokémon: The Series: Italian is one of the few languages that keeps the English names for the namesake creatures, but dubs often stumbled with some pronounces and went back and forth with different takes. Meowth's name has been pronounced "Meh-o" from the beginning until 2009, when it was changed to a more faithful "Meow". Around late 2012, with the release of Pokédex 3D Pro, multiple Italian pronounciations were changed permanently, with the new takes being used in every piece of media (anime, games and so on). Weirdly, this means that a lot of names that were pronounced in correct English have been replaced with more Italian-ish and wrong-sounding ones (such as Wobbuffet being pronounced "Wob-boo-fet", Lugia becoming "Lou-jah" and most bafflingly Glaceon being pronounced "Glace-on", making it sound completely different from the other Eeveelution names). In one of the Portuguese dubs, Pikachu's name is kept the same, but the humans say it like "peek-a-shoo" even though Pikachu himself clearly pronounces it like "peek-a-choo". In the Czech version, Pichu was simply nameless due to the fact that its name sounds like their word for "cunt". Later on, however, its name was pronounced like "pic-chu". In Japanese, Arceus's name is pronounced "ar-say-us", but in the English version, it is pronounced "ark-ee-us" because the original pronunciation sounds too much like "arse". Doubling over with Inconsistent Dub in the English version, Regice's name was initially pronounced as "redge-ee-ice" in Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, but in later appearances it is pronounced "Redge-ice". Oddly enough, Regice still clearly pronounces its own name like "redge-ee-ice". In the Japanese dub, Serena's name is pronounced "seh-reh-na", but in the English dub, it is pronounced "suh-reena". In the Japanese dub, Lusamine's name is pronounced "loo-sa-mee-neh", but the English dub changed it to "loo-sa-meen". |

The Latin American Spanish dub of Voyagers! was particularly inconsistent with this. One episode about the Roosevelt family correctly pronounced the family name as "rose-ah-belt" (when even some American works pronounce it "ROOS-belt"), but the episode about Harry Houdini pronounced his last name following Spanish conventions rather than American English ones, resulting in his last name being pronounced "ow-dee-nee" instead of "hoo-dee-nee". | |

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char Aznable is name after the French musician Charles Aznavour, which the Japanese versions reflects by pronouncing like "Shaw". Most English dubs pronounce it as a homophone for "char", as if shortening the English pronunciation of "Charles". | |

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Lucina's name is spelled the same in both Japanese and English official materials, but in Japanese it's pronounced "Luke-ina" while in English it's "Lu-see-na". This is most noticeable in Smash Bros, which has the same (native English-speaking) announcer in both English and Japanese, but he pronounces Lucina differently in the latter. | |

In the Italian dub of Alice in Wonderland, Alice's name is pronounced with the Italian pronunciation of the name (ah-LEE-chay). In the live-action remake, they used the English pronunciation in the title (since the title is left in English) but the Italian pronunciation in the actual movie. | |

Lupin III: In English, the Streamline Pictures dub of The Mystery of Mamo and Funimation's dubs of the movies and specials pronounce Lupin's name as "Loo-pin" rather than "Loo-pahn". Funimation only switched to the latter pronunciation for their dub of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine years later. In the Italian dubs: Lupin is always pronounced "Loo-pehn" instead of "Loo-pahn". Goemon's name has always been pronounced "Ghemon", as if the O was mute. For years, Fujiko Mine's last name had been pronounced as if it was the English word "mine". It was corrected to the Japanese pronounciation starting with The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. |

Hungarian dubs of Transformers series often struggle with English names. In Transformers: Prime, the ship Harbinger was said both with a soft and hard "g" in different scenes. In Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), Steeljaw was pronounced as "Steel-Joe" at first, then changed to "Steel-Jah", as the language has no simple equivalent of the "-aw" sound. Also, Octopunch was pronounced as "Octopoonch". |
