I don't know if this has been done already, and there have been threads about English names for PW game characters, but this one is dedicated exclusively to the PW manga characters. Choose any PW manga character and give it an English name; it has to have a pun or reflect their Japanese name in some way.
Here are a few of the names a friend and I cooked up for the PW manga characters (Names I had help with are in white):
Spoiler: Turnabout in the Wind
Suzune Kazama = Erin Chyme
Supposed to sound like "wind chime" (Yeah, it's lame)
Hikaru Shinjou = Lloyd Faith
Lloyd = to sound like loyal
Faith = Faithful
Spoiler: Turnabout Gallows
Jirou Kimura = Deuce Forester
Deuce = 2 in cards; also refers to being the younger brother.
"Forester" reflects the Japanese name meaning villiage of trees
Hatsurou Kimura = Ace Forester
As in an Ace card; he's the older brother
Akamune Komori = Redd Parker
Redd comes from his Japanese name meaning Red Breast (a type of spider)
[Peter] "Parker" is the main character in Spiderman
Sara Komori = Sarah Parker
Sara + H... what more can be said?
Sounds like Sarah Jessica Parker (just for kicks)
Himeko Komori = Mary Parker
Mary Jane, one of Peter's love interests and his wife in some continuities
Sasao Komori = Herman Parker
Supposed to sound like "hermit" -> Hermit = Recluse
Azuchi Yamashiro = Tarin Schuela
Tarantula
had to make it sound like a spider's name to reflect the Japanese name
