These are the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many]] characters that were given new names in the transfer from ''Gyakuten Saiban'' to ''[[CompletelyDifferentTitle Ace Attorney]]''. Unusually for this trope, Western fans usually use the dub names when discussing this series, unless specifically referencing a Japanese release, or the NoExportForYou ''Gyakuten Kenji 2'' (which itself has a fanmade translation that Westernizes all the names). Some fans even have never heard of the original names, or can't keep those apart. This is probably due to to {{Woolseyism}}. The reason that they are given dubbed names, is due to the Japanese names often being [[MeaningfulName meaningful]] and [[PunnyName punny]] names - the puns would not be understood when the game was translated, so it was deemed necessary to simply put in English [[MeaningfulName meaningful]] and [[PunnyName punny]] names.

* Lola O'Molley to Patricia Beate

!!Introduced in ''The Great Ace Attorney''
The nature of these games made a direct translation more feasible than a localization, so a substantial number of names have been left unchanged. However, in series fashion, most names were altered to either sound more natural or make the [[PunnyName pun]] clearer. Additionally, due to some ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' stories not being in the public domain in the west, a few names had to be changed for [[ScrewedByTheLawyers copyright reasons]].

* Iris Watson to Iris Wilson

* Ryunosuke Naruhodou remains unchainged.

!!Introduced in ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban''
The title of this SpinOff series is left untranslated because it was never released outside of Japan, and thus has not recieved an official English localization. The most prominent fan translation has titled the two games ''The Great Ace Attorney: The Adventures of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou'' and ''The Great Ace Attorney 2: The Resolve of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou''. The nature of these games made a direct translation more feasible than a localization, so most of the names have been left unchanged. However, there is one name that has been changed: that of a cat whose owner does not know Japanese.
