Original Names of the Sailor Senshi (including Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Chibi Moon)
Sailor Moon - Usagi Tsukino
Sailor Mercury - Ami Mizuno
Sailor Mars - Rei Hino
Sailor Jupiter - Makoto Kino (while this name is mostly used for boys,it's actually a gender-neutral name)
Sailor Venus - Minako Aino
Sailor Uranus - Haruka Tenoh
Sailor Neptune - Michiru Kaioh
Sailor Saturn - Hotaru Tomoe
Sailor Pluto - Setsuna Meioh
Tuxedo Mask - Mamoru Chiba
Sailor Chibi Moon - Usagi ''Small Lady'' Serenity (but when she travels back to the past the gang calls her Chibiusa instead)
When DiC dubbed the 90s anime,they changed the names of the sailor senshi and TM
Sailor Moon - Serena
( not bad since it's close to ''Serenity''. Usagi's real name is laid out as ''Tsukino Usagi.
Tsukino Usagi = Tsuki no Usagi = meaning, "Rabbit on the Moon'', an asian legend about a rabbit pounding ricecakes on the moon
In the anime,you can see that there were alot of jokes playing on her name but since they changed her name,it didn't make sense)
Sailor Mercury - Amy
Sailor Mars - Rei meaning 'soul' or 'spirit' remained Rei but the spelling was changed: Raye
Sailor Jupiter - Makoto meaning 'sincerity' and 'faith' was changed to ''Lita''
(it's a pun on lightning)
Sailor Venus - Minako was shortened to ''Mina''
Sailor Uranus - Haruka meaning 'spring' was changed to ''Amara''
Sailor Neptune - Michiru got changed to ''Michelle" (I like that one ^^)
Sailor Saturn - stayed as Hotaru but they left out the 'e' in Tomoe so it became Tomo
Sailor Pluto - Setsuna meaning 'moment' became ''Trista''
Tuxedo Mask - Mamoru meaning 'to protect' became ''Darien'' his full name in the DiC was Darien Shields
Sailor Chibi Moon - Rini
those are the official english dub names but before those names there were OTHER names that served as ALTERNATIVES before they changed it to the ones that were listed above
ALTERNATIVES
Sailor Moon - was called Celeste and Victoria (ooh fancy names there XD) then Darien . . . . (really guys . . DARIEN?!?!)
Sailor Mercury - was called Blue (Blue??? Well that's unusual for a girl's name, because I know someone named Blue and he is a guy. So therefore, I see it more of a boy's name rather than a girl's name)
Sailor Mars - was called Dana then Rae, the spelling changed after that
Sailor Jupiter - was called Sarah then Maggie (I actually thought those were fitting especially Sarah)
Sailor Venus - was called Carrie,Monika and then Alisha (I like Carrie the best!)
Tuxedo Mask - was called Mark (I don't know if this name was better or worse than Darien)
EXTRA!!
Motoki Furuhata - Michael and then Andrew (hm also fitting)
Naru Osaka - Nadine and then Molly Baker ( I like Nadine better but i also like the surname Baker XD)
Mayumi Osaka(Naru's mother) - Susan Baker
Gurio Umino - Melvin ( REALLY fitting!)
Shingo Tsukino (Usagi's younger brother) - Sammy
