If Uran's name was changed to "Naru" in a new dub?

I think it would be funny, because "Naru" is "Uran" written backwards.

Not just Naruto, but Naru Narusegawa from Love

Naruto means "bacon" and I hate bacon, lol
Also, I think that Naru would sound cuter than "Zoran" which I find "YUCK".

In fact it would better to keep her as Uran.
After all new people would be confused upon watching the 1980 series in english.
Astro Girl feels like a insult against Uran's identity.
She is not just a "gender bender" version of Atom as some people thought since her traits are still pretty different and as well her own personality.

I agree. It sounds like everyone is calling her "moron".[/QUOTE]
These guys must had smelling marajuana when they changed her name to "Astro Girl".
Her personality is not like Atom and the name Zoran doesn't fit on her.
There are even guys calling her "Zoron" which does sounds a lot more like "Moron".

Haha, that would be funny if they changed her name to Naru XD It's annoying that they keep changing characters' names with each new dub. XD
Personally, I don't think 'Zoran' is any better of a name than 'Uran'. Zoran sounds more space-y while Uran sounds more science-y, but niether if them sound very feminine in my opinion. I'm partial to both. :/
...And how can you hate bacon???!!!??!

It tastes too bad for me, yuck!
Zoran reminds of "Zoras" and Uran is not a fish O_o
"Uchuu Shounen Zoran" is also one of the reasons which I hate her dub name.
