@A Wikia Contributor: it's a standard practice in licensing. Rainbow spA also did this with their Winx Club series (one character, Aisha, was renamed Layla in America, likely for copyright issues - IIRC Italy was the only country to actually keep her name as Aisha, but I could be wrong) but in any case, her name was consistently changed to Layla, and Rainbow spA acknowledges this, which points to an internal decision. Most companies want to make sure that foreign companies are faithfully broadcasting their product, so it's easier to basically have a "rap sheet" of approved changes - that's how I understand it, at least. If anyone who knows more about international licensing wants to set me straight, they're totally welcome to!
