Lunar Pretty Cure name ideas

Lunar Pretty Cure!? That one Chinese New Year series? Yes, that one. It has some outdated names, so I have suggestions for them.

Also, some for Dragon's Book because 3 of the characters need new names and use the same method.

Rat Cure

The leader of Lunar Pretty Cure is the rat Cure. Her name is currently Nezumi Kokoa (鼠 ココア). Here are some ideas for her new name.

Surname

• Soiri (鼠入) means "mouse enter".
• Nezumitani (鼠谷) means "mouse valley".
• Nezumiya (鼠家) means "mouse house".

All of them have 鼠 in it, meaning mouse or rat.

Given Name

• Kokoa (心暖) means "heart is warm".

Kokoa is her original name. The other ones represent the traits of the rat.

Cure Name

The other Cures

The Cures that have their final names decided are:

• Ushikawa Cho (丑川 蝶), the Ox Cure, Cure Ardor.
• Umamachi Pony (馬町ポニー), the Horse Cure, Cure Love.
• Serinuma Sara (芹沼 サラ), the Monkey Cure, Cure Verity.
• Niwatori Yo (鶏 曜), the Chicken Cure, Cure Dawn.
• Inudera Emiri (犬寺 エミリ) or Emily? Dog Cure, no Cure name yet but probably Cure Loyalty.

Dragon's Book

• Ryuno Toru (竜野 とおる), the Dragon Cure, Cure Long.
• Kamakiri Toshio (鎌切 壽雄), the Praying Mantis Cure, Cure Tang.
• Kazama Yuzuru (風間 ゆずる), the Crane Cure, Cure He.
• The Tiger, Monkey, and Snake Cures only have Cure names: Cure Hu, Cure Hou, and Cure She respectively.
• Now that I think about it I think the Chinese Cure names should be temporary names because Cure Hoe is not gonna work.

Edit: September 27th, 2022

Oh, it's interesting to come back to this page after finding some names for the Cures.

The four names primarily discussed in this post have finally been revealed. They are:

• Sarutaki Syun (猿瀧 しゅん)/Cure Monkey
• Jatai Naru (蛇平 なる)/Cure Viper
• Toramoto Mikuru (虎本 みくる)/Cure Tigress.

But I'm not done with names for this series. I will be changing the pronunciation of Toru's last name from Ryuno to Tatsuno, and I may possibly give her the birthname of Renge, as Kasuga Renge, from Beautiful Bloom Pretty Cure, may perhaps get a rename.

Also, the mascots/legendary Cures have no names yet, and two villains are to be made. But that will be discussed in another blog post.

As for Lunar Pretty Cure, I did think of new names for the first three Cures of the series, including the rat Cure:

• Nezumi Kokoa (鼠 ココア) is now Soiri Tomi (鼠入 とみ), or Cure Vital.
• Ushikawa Cho (丑川 蝶) is now Ushiwaka Kahori (牛若 かほり), or Cure Ardor. But that was always her Cure name.
• Torayama Yuri (虎山 ゆり) is now Kitazume Torako (北爪 とらこ), or Cure Trust.
