Why? Dubs have been doing that for years. |
Not so for dubs of kids anime. Even Doraemon, Japan's anime cultural icon, got name changes for the dub. However, to be fair, some dubs of kids anime within the past few years have retained the original names instead of changing them, as proven by the dubs of Beyblade (since the Metal Fusion series), Future Card Buddyfight, and Cardfight!! Vanguard.

Did William Winckler Productions also confirm this spelling? Mirei's not French; she's Japanese. "Mirei" is also the official spelling. The only place you'll see "Mireille" (unless William Winckler Productions actually is using it for some reason) is in fansubs.

It's worth noting she voices the same character, Eiko, in the Japanese version. She voices various other characters, too, like the girl who speaks to Meganee immediately after Lala gets her PriTicket in episode one (the members of i☆Ris identify her in the cast commentary, referring to her as Bri-chan).

I’d like to know about the status of Minky Momo myself, they were up for a very short period. I bought several of them but, I missed out on the last four compilations I think. Of course at one point the colour timing was off for several of the movies so Momo became a very dark red head and everything that was yellow hilariously turned pink. William Winckler Productions does communicate on Facebook though so I suppose anybody could try and ask about either of those issues. It’s a real shame, Minky Momo is such a classic magical girl show. The dub is even pretty fun.
