#IF I DEACTIVATE OUT OF NOWHERE; THE PURISTS GOT ME AND SACRIFICED ME TO THE GODS OF NAKAYOSHI

The (thankfully hypothetical) 4KIDS dub names for the Shugo Chara; Part 1

I have no explanation or justification. These simply came to me in a vision while I was at work. Input and other ideas welcome~

Amu Hinamori - Amy Cook

Now, before you line up to @ me for not giving this name to Ami, bare with me. I felt as though they would at least TRY to keep the 'am' part of her name, given all of her transformations would stll remain as Amulet [x]. The surname is chosen so that Nikaidou's malicious/accidental misnaming of it becomes 'Crook.'

Ran - Ran. Honestly, I can see them just not being able to figure out a rename and just going with it. (Aka, I couldn't think of anything)

Miki - Would either be kept the same but given an idiotic 'feminine' pronunciation like 'Mee-kee' or straight up changed to Nikki

Su - Sue. Same pronunciation, just Westernize the spelling

Dia- Dinah. I don't know, but it does sound like a thing that they'd do and it's not awful.

All transformations would keep their Japanese name except for Amulet Dia, which would be edited to become Amulet Diamond, purely to fit in with the card theme completely. Amulet Fortune would also stay the same.

Amu/Amy's chara naris with El and Iru would also be renamed because God Forbid (pun intented) that even vaguely religious terms are used in a kids show!

Amulet Devil would become Amulet Rocker and her outfit would be drastically changed, the bikini would be edited to a jumpsuit-like outfit, with straps at the very least added and the shorts brought down to just above her socks. Also the devil wings would be edited out as would the heart on her tail. In all honesty, they'd probably be crying over not being able to cut Amulet Rocker's scenes.

Amulet Angel would become Amulet Fairy, but thankfully, nothing more would be changed.

Moving briefly to Ami, she would become Mia Cook. Purely because it's easier to just rearrange the letters and it's almost audibly the opposite to Amy. (If that even makes sense?)

The next part shall cover who Tadase and Ikuto would become! (And y'all will be lining up to crucify me for it)
