Stuff like Kakarot instead of Kakaroto is fine though... so them needing to play around with Veggeto/Vegito/Vegerot might be a bit more understandable.
But Kuririn should not be Krillin... and Makankosappo should not be Special Beam Cannon. Stupid name changes like that should be avoided.
"Krillin" isn't a change. It's a legitimate stylized romanization of "クリリン". Obscure vowels like the first "u" can be dropped, and "l" and "r" are infamously interchangeable. It's not remotely comparable to "Special Beam Cannon".
Maybe... but it's weird when you see the Kuririn cap... and the fact that you cannot detect the pun in the "kuri" but I guess that can be attributed to the japanese not being able to properly translate... still Krillin seems like a stupid change.
Bulma has BULMA plastered over her clothes in the early episodes of Dragon Ball but I still see a lot of fans of the Japanese version call her Buruma. Which I suppose is still accurate but if we're going by your standards than Bulma would be the only correct one.

Fair enough, I guess. I forgot about that.
I guess I'll just say I prefer Kuririn then. It's not a dealbreaker if "Krillin" is used in the dub but I would want Kuririn.

On the Brazilian dubs of Classic/Modern Dragon Ball they say Kuririn (unless they changed on Super which I doubt since they're so loyal).
