There are too many important characters now, they have to get creative to avoid repearing names.

There used to be a bunch of characters named "Lily" too, in both Japanese and English.

Lillie is pronounced "Lee-lee-eh" in Japanese, but in English, it's pronounced the same as "Lily", so we probably won't be getting any more characters with that name.

I had a classmate named Marny. Sure, you spell it different than the Pokemon character, but it's still the same name.

Pokemon characters have always had weird names. They're either named after plants, or a pun based on the type specialize in.

Though you'll occasionally get a name that's both a real name and a pun related to their type. Like Brock.

Surge is his last name idiots. Lieutenant is his military title and you would use that military title with their last name. You wouldn't say general John.

There are a fuckton of Marys and Lilys in this series, so it's perfectly understandable why they changed Mary to Marnie and spelled Lillie differently

Because while Mary sounds foreign and exotic to Japs, to us, it's just an ordinary name.

I assume it's because they want her to feel edgy. In Japanese an English name like Mary is foreign so it sounds cool but in English it's a pretty generic name you hear all the time.

>Wendy is a given name generally given to girls in English-speaking countries.

>The name is found in United States records from the 19th century. The name Wendy appeared over twenty times in the U.S. Census of 1880. In Britain, Wendy appeared as a masculine name in a parish record in 1615[1][2], and it was used as a name for both women and men in the 1881 census of England, occasionally as a diminutive for the Welsh Gwendolyn.
Fuck off.
