Hmm... would it, though? How often do they localize names based on the original Japanese meanings? I'm not picking or anything, but it seems to me they start fresh more often than not.
Unless the original Japanese puns can't be translated to an English variant or they're a bit spoilery, they do often come up with names based on the Japanese ones. Less often do they copy it directly from them, though. Hence the legends like "Ahlbi Ur'gaid" and "Luke Atmey".
There aren't as many names that aren't based on the Japanese names in some way, like with Robert Hammond, which I can never get where it came from. It's not so obscure with Phoenix and his lawyers, though.

Some characters names are pretty much references to their Japanese names.
A lot of the English names for this game thus far seem to share the same meaning as their Japanese names too.

Also, has anyone figured out the English lyrics for the Song of Ceremony?

Interestingly, Saara should be "Silka Da'hid", as "sarasara"（さらさら）means "silky", according to Ash.
Nanashiino Gonbe (tentative) should be "Jahnkyo Pah'blik (tentative)". It's a pun on "John Q. Public", an English equivalent of "nanashi no gonbei".

Huh. The extra H thing is starting to get a little annoying IMO. At this rate everyone in Khura'in will have an H in there name, which is a pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
Also, having a dude named Inga would be really weird.

Well that's a pointless name change.

What's the source for this? He's not in the new trailer, nor is he mentioned in any of the tinier previews within the trailer, as far as I can tell.

I demand we rename the game to "Phoheh'nihxhx Whrihghth: Shphirhith ohfh Juhshtihceh". Fits the Khura'in theme much better.

The kingdom of khura'in's flag must be a giant lower case 'h' with an apostrophe next to it.
Meanwhile, the flag of the rebel army is actually a lowercase delta hung upside-down.

Turnabout Foreigner -> A Foreign Turnabout
Turnabout Magic Show -> The Magical Turnabout
Turnabout Ritual stays as is
Turnabout Theatre stays as is
Turnabout Revolution -> The Revolutionary Turnabout
Turnabout Across Time stays as is
And characters...
Nanashiino Gonbe (provisional) -> John Doe (provisional)
-Nanashiino Gonbe is literally John Doe
Bakufuu Senpuutei -> Bastion Sentei
-Bakufū means ‘blast’ (like a ‘blast from an explosion’), and Bastion is supposed to sound like Blast and Explosion combined. Sentei comes from his Japanese name.
Puuko Senpuutei -> Wendy Sentei
-Fū (Pū) is the on-yomi of the character meaning ‘wind’, and Wendy comes from windy.
Bifuu Senpuutei -> Zephyr Sentei
-Bifū (written as 微風) means ‘breeze’ and Zephyr is a light breeze

We already have a John Doe. And the Japanese equivalent of that was "Tarou Tanaka".
I think we should go with a "foreignized" version of "John Q. Public". Just like how "I'll be your guide" became "Ahlbi Ur'gaid", John Q. Public should be something like "Jahnkyo Pah'blik (temporary)". Yes, my names suck.

Could become "John Dh'oe" or "Jhoe Dohn"

I think that you went a little overboard with some of the Khura'in names. I'm pretty sure what we've had with Ahlbi and Paht are just regular names with more 'h's. Ahlbi = Alby (Short for Albert), and Paht = Pat. Then again we've had names like "Deid"
That being said, as the person who suggested Connor Berggold, I ended thinking Conan is a better name. "Con and Burgled".

Still, I think "Ledgie Timett" is a really good name. (Or maybe Timothy Ledger.)

Kokone Kizuki (Athena Cykes)
to
Mari Kizuki (Metis Cykes)
because in Greek Mythology Metis is the mother of Athena.
So it would be logical to do
Housuke Odoroki (Apollo Justice)
to
, wouldn't it?
