Something is lost in the translation from the Japanese. My teacher devised those translations, and as I honor my teacher, I stick with his English versions of the names. Besides, I like how they sound.

Personally, I don't think attacking me and my teacher and our third-language translation of our katas is the proper way to debunk my cogent and clearly reasoned arguments. Perhaps logic is a better choice.
