Wait, does there have to be an actual name change to qualify? I was thinking of adding an example in which Sonic's name tends to stay the same between translations. This happens with other characters too.

Would things like a changed spelling but not a different pronunciation fall under this or Spell my Name with an S? I'm thinking of My Hero Academia, where some Bakugou lost the second U in his name in translation even though the pronunciation didn't change
Removed this note under the example under Literature about French translations of Lord of the Rings changing Bilbo's and Frodo's names to "Bilbon" and "Frodon":
"which was nothing new; the French language did the same to Greek gods Apollo and Pluto..."
This is backwards: the "-on" ending is the original Greek, and it was the Romans who changed the spelling to "-o", which is the one followed by English.
