Firion and Leon sound way better than Frioniel and Lionheart

I thought Gareth was odd, but Ricard sounds so much better than Richard.

Also, Gus sounds better than Guy to me.

Leila looks better than Layla. Its all a matter of refining their names to me. The PSX and GBA names are more official than the japanese versions, as they were the first released here. I tend to prefer the DoS names, with the exception of Guy. I just rename the four mains anyway.
