- Walter MatthauYES.
Someone said he should be Ivan Oliver Levine. I really liked that one, as it's a very good pun that closely matches the original, and as well, his middle name makes him even more pompous. Ivan also kinda sounds like Aiga. 
Arthur Glover. Arthur just seems to fit this guy, in my opinion, and Glover, well, sound it out. 
Mary Glover. Mary's close to Mareka. 
I still like Dolores Willow. Jean-Pierre LaFrance. (I once had a professor named Jean-David Lafrance.) Tony "Tiger" Moran. Zennies are Capcom's currency, but I really wasn't sure how to translate Zennitora without it looking really weird (Zennitiger?). Tony is a typical mobster name, and Bugsy Moran was a famous mobster back in the prohibition days. His grandfather calls him Tonsy.
Maria AIRAM. In addition to being a parallelogram, like the Japanese name, the last name is made up of AI (artificial intelligence) and RAM (random access memory), both computer terms. Also, the fact that her last name is capitalized makes it seem more artificial.

Hrm....how abouit Alex uh.....Bailey? Alex is a gender ambiguous name, and I think so is bailey. Think a mroe feminie version of Adrian Andrews. Gan G. S. Teire with one of those makrs over the last e. Like Te-air. Obviously a Pun off of Gangster. For the record, people CAN have 2 middle names. JRRTolkien for example. PLus the french-esque last name goes well with the french resturant. I like Kaminogi really. Stay the same. Isn't it based off of an English play or something. Its only one word, pun works anywhere really
What are you talkin about? Her name IS That Bitch. I call her Thatty
Lets see here...OOO. Dolores Willow. Bit of a switch, & if you think about it, it makes sense.Bikini should also stay the same. No reason to change it. Comes pre-translated,lol.

Godot. Nothing else will do. Maxwell Beckett. Beckett for the playwright, Maxwell for the coffee! I don't like Dolores for her first name, though Willow is a good last name for her. Hm... something elegant, though cold. Ariel, perhaps?Mareka could be Maria.

Joel Dulce - I like the name Joel, and Dulce means "candy" in Spanish. Marika Dulce - Better keep something similar. Gordon Blau - Comes from Gordon Bleu, A French beef stuffed with ham and cheese. Blau is german for blue... But wait, he's pink...:insert oka smilie here: Linus Flatley - Linus comes from Linux, Flatley is a Trojan horse.
Javado Beckett Godot Goddamnit...ignore that second word I wrote.:insert Yuuki smilie here: Ming - She looks pretty Asian, and Ming means "pure" by the way.
Naomi - means beauty. Betty? *shot* I thought of Ugly Betty... 
Elizabeth Báthe - Elisabeth Bathory, enough said.

Jessica Belle, a pun on Jezebel. Phoenix can call her Jessie. Angela or something maiden-ish. I thought Angela would sound like a nice contrast to Jezebel Someone came up with Jamie Sweet in the old thread which I liked. Marlene SweetFor Onamida, someone came up with Terrence Connor which I liked. Ben Cryan from the fan translation sounds a bit too much of a translation without much effort. Someone also came up with Victor Conn which fits the pun thing more.
Beckett Kaufmann. Eh.. I dunno...

For Kamen Mask, I kind of like "Masked Mask".
I love the Tony "Tiger" somethingerether idea above. :D Also liking Maxwell something. I guess "Hauser" as a last name would be too obvious? Helen A. Handbasket. :D I kid, I kid! maybe Sherman Locksley... or if you want to go German, Ludwig Hahn. (Ludwig = "famous warrior", Hahn = "rooster; proud and pugnacious person") EDIT: On the other hand, "Hahn" isn't quite as long and obnoxious as "Hoshiidake", so I'm not sure about it anymore. :p Drawing a blank here. Grizzly Burns or somethin'? Francis (for gender androgynous first name) Fournier (meaning "baker").Throwing around ideas for Takao Oka and Keiko Koike... was thinking maybe "Adam Imada" (they could say he's Japanese, but it's a stretch...) I like the idea above about Maria AIRAM, but maybe just make it "Maria Iram". A little simpler. :) The AIRAM thing is neat, but it'd be near impossible to make a matching one for Oka Takao. @_@ I had another idea for her name several months back, also, but it escapes me right now...

As for Oka Takao, I'd go with something like Gary Rag. Samuel Leumas. Omar Eramo. Something normal, probably Samuel. He's not as artificial looking as Keiko, and I tried doing AIRAM on purpose, though Iram makes it more of a real last name, for sure. I think it's important to keep the palindrome, mainly because it's rare to see those.

Godot Raimundo CafénzoTHAT is worse than "Javado Beckett". >.<
"Sandy" is a pretty gender-ambiguous name... Then again, so is "Emmet"...
Marley (?) Sweets I agree with Croik on the Ivan Churluv thing... Fornication under consent of the King ??? Medusa de Bicci (Maybe she could be Italian?) Angel? Angie? HINATA-CHAN? (I agree on the last part... ^.^)
I do not tolerate bullies. Good day.

also, I...I kinda hope that they call
Draco...something *anything but "Sylvester"* it's a kind of lame name, yes, but wasn't Souryuu the name of a legendary dragon? that way, it would kind of fit. I have to admit, though, I'm a fan of Javado. it's kinda catchy.of course, they could always call him Dimitri "Didi" Beckett.

Or Smok Wawelski, Y Ddraig Goch, Nidhogg, Orochi ..
Or Spyro. Spyro Beckett would rock
After listening to Aiga's theme, something Russian or Eastern European would be good, yes. It sounds like that

You know, I always thought of Aiga as an arrogant goofy French detective. He just had that feel about him, what with the Arséne Lupin novels, and all. However, I agree that his theme music is indeed Eastern European sounding, and as such, I'm not uncomfortable with any name involving Ivan anymore.
Thank you Tinker.

However, Dolores means 'sorrows' which could also be a good for the nature of her character.

Lilith was the first, who left the Garden of her own free will when she refused to take the submissive sexual position. This was before the whole apple fiasco, so she is free of original sin, however, she and her children are depicted as monsters, eating babies and all that.

A lot of ambiguities in the OT are rather explained away (for the most part) by means of understanding a different culture, peoples (not western thought), literature, etc. It's a facinating story.
It's hard to take the adam and eve story seriously anyways, since the story itself is derived from plays on words (Adam in hebrew simply means earth or dirt), allegorically speaking about the humility of mankind should posess.

Most religious characters have names derivative of their symbolism and function, I would say.
