I could probably find a lot more comparisons, and I know there's even some that were EN first and they changed for JP with what we'd think is a generic name.
Oh believe me I understand the reason why they do the things they do at the localization team. I just have issues with the names they come up with sometimes. I don't really want to further derail the thread, so I'll let it go.
