English Name: Princess Serena/Serenity
Japanese name: Princess Serenity (･ﾗ･・ｻ･ｹ｡ｦ･ｻ･・ﾋ･ﾆ･｣)
Giving the Moon Princess the same name as the main character was a strange
decision on the part of DIC. Presumably they did this to avoid the
confusion of Princess Serenity, Queen Serenity, and Neo Queen Serenity
(the mother of Chibiusa).
English Name: Prince Darien
Japanese name: Prince Endymion
Again, naming him Prince Darien took all the mystery out of Endymion's
identity. In Greek mythology, Selene was in love with Endymion, and it is
after that mythological figure Prince Endymion was named.
English Name: Darien Shields
Japanese name: Chiba Mamoru ("earth
protector") (ﾃﾏｾ・ﾒ)
As Prince Endymion and Tuxedo Kamen/Mamoru protected the Earth
English Name: Rini
Japanese name: Usagi (､ｦ､ｵ､ｮ)
("rabbit") Chibi-Usa ("little rabbit") (､ﾁ､ﾓ､ｦ､ｵ)
Chibi-Usa's name is really Usagi, like her mother. The younger or the two
would have "Chibi" placed before their name to show they are the
younger person. "Chibi" is also a derogatory statement.
English Name: Trista
Japanese name: Meiou Setsuna
("an instant, king of dead") (ﾌｽｲｦ､ｻ､ﾄ､ﾊ)
Pluto was considered the Lord of death in Mythology. As well as being the
lord of death Pluto was also keeper of time.
