Fan Casting Dub Name Change

Role added by tildeheart on November 27, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Dub Name Change:

A Dub Name Change is when one, several, or all the characters have their names drastically changed with the importing of a fictional property. Usually it's meant to be a Woolseyism, when name changes are made so the audiences of the foreign country can better understand and relate to the characters. Names are also changed to avoid controversial names (or have different meanings in another culture like Mr. Satan), prevent trademark infringement, other thorny associations, or retain Meaningful or Punny Names that would otherwise be lost in a more pure translation.
