Qlon from Suikoden 1.
For some unexplained reason, there are both a character AND a location with the name "Qlon", but they never bother establishing any connection between them.

Error is fine. It's Bagu whose name was mistranslated in Zelda 2 -- he was supposed to be Bug. So you had best friends Bug and Error, get it? It's a stupid joke, but I kinda like it. And can't really fault the naming choice, since at least there was a reason to name them as such. Probably some fed-up programmers letting off some steam with a couple townsfolk. -Tom Bagu, now I see the connection with the translation. This is awesome xD I should one day play Zelda II. I never played it, because of the mixed opinions. regarding the Joshua thing: I am not quite sure, but maybe it shares some similarities with the name Jasmin. Jasmin is a female name, but also a name for males. I think Joshua is like the name Jasmin. It is a name for males and females. Yours sincerely Jack Caeylin

Sometimes I wonder why would I bother taking the likes of Garou seriously with someone who has that kind of name? Case in point, KOF has some weird names like K and Heavy D; they sound like names for wrestlers or better yet music performers than fighters.

His original name (if the system is Japan-region) is Marco Rodriguez. Similarly, Tizoc is renamed Griffon Mask.

My guess for why his name got changed in North America is probably so it wouldn't get confused with Marco Rossi, as if Garou's target audience are little kids who can't spell right.

Neeext -Before Warriors Orochi Cao Cao and his son Cao Pi had name dubed very odd Cow Cow and Cao Pee. -Maybe sound right but in GTA games seems Lance Vance and his brother Victor had problem To Lance in Vice City Tommy Vercetti: One thing's puzzling me. What's with 'Quentin'? Lance Vance: I dunno, I always kinda liked it: Quentin Vance. Tommy Vercetti: Vance? Your name's Lance Vance? Lance Vance: Hey, I got enough of that at school. Tommy Vercetti: Lance Vance. Poor bastard. To Victor in Vice City Stories Sergeant Jerry Martinez: Hooo! Hey, Victor Vance! Wow... did anyone ever tell you you've got a really dumb name? Victor Vance: No, no one's ever mentioned that before.

I never played it, because of the mixed opinions. Don't ever let other people's opinions shape your own. If a game looks interesting to you, try it out! Even if every other person in the world hates it, that doesn't mean you'll feel the same. Personally, I think Zelda 2 is the best game in the entire series, and I've always wished Nintendo would revisit that particular gameplay style. But, I guess the fans have spoken on that... I've never heard of Jasmin as a male name -- but then, I also just found out that Kelly is apparently a dual gender name (I always assumed it was a female-only name), so maybe there is a case to be made for naming a girl Joshua. Everyone I've spoken with on the matter, though, seems to agree that Joshua is a distinctly male name. -Tom

They exist, though!
