I don't get it, is it such a big deal to keep the names? I mean it's obvious that the anime is from Japan. Someone tell me how the name "Shinichi" and "Jimmy" are in anyway 'similar'.
They aren't, but Americans have a hard time enunciating Japanese names. For example, with English Phonics, most people would say Yukiko as (yoo - KEE - ko), but the proper way would be (YOO - kee - ko). Catching my drift?
And the title, Case Closed? I don't like it at all. It's only US that changed the title. And from what I heard, it was because it might cause legal rights with stupid show called "Conan the Barbarian". I bet DC was created WAY before "Conan the Barbarian"
Detective Conan - Created in 1994 Conan the Barbarian - Created in the 1930s. Yes, there were copyright issues.
Also, Fox Kids TRIED to air DC thinking the demographics were okay for American children. Later they cancelled because of all the gore, blood, death, and adult content. To this day, Fox still has the rights to the title "Detective Conan," so that's why a new name had to come up beside the point of Conan the Barbarian.
Also, it's not just the US market OR FUNimation's fault. Gosho and the rest of the japanese team worked together to create a title and names for the characters. So don't put all the fault on the US.
------------
btw, i was just wondering, what is everyones ages? (mailny i was wondering what Haibira age was before she shrunk, but it formed into this question! LOL)
Shiho/Sherry (Ai) - 18 (posing as 8?) Jimmy (Conan) - 17 (posing as 7?) Rachel - 17 Serena - 16 or 17 Harley and Kazuha - 17 or 18 George, Amy, Genta - Guestimate of 7 or 8 Agasa - I know he says this and I always forget, but I think he's in his late 50s or early 60s. Richard, Eva, Booker, Yukiko - 40s meguire - 50s? Takagi, Sato, Yumi - 30s? Shiratori - 40s? Sharon Vineyard - She looks 50 Chris and Kir - Appear 30ish Rest of the Black Organization - Probably 40s. >_>
Those were mostly guesses, but I know they are in the ideal age range.

The thing about Shiho and Kudo-kun is correct but i think you shoud add the fact that they are possing as 6 year olds^^
And i thought that Shiratori was also in his 30s?

Shiratori was one of the hardest to estimate. He looks about Richard's age, but not as young as Takagi. Also, I don't know how age gaps in relationships are in Japan, but in America, it's quite common to see a 30 and 40 yr old together, so that's why I guessed 40 for him. (I was thinking about him and Sato)

I know for a fact that Shiratori is not in his 20s. Although, it takes a bit of typing and I was kind of in the middle of a game when I got this reply, so I'll come back later and explain it. Also, Ai states she's 18 ("The perfect age for you" - Ai to Conan). Before that, though, she did joke around about being a 53 yr old woman. >_>; Trust me.. I know. Ai's my all-time favorite character. ^o^

Chris/Vermouth is 29. (her age was written in that file where chandelier(sp) kills a person and Gin shoots adult Ai)
It is possible to be scientist at age 18, especially if your parents were scientists also. (i read somewhere that Ai's parents were... not 100% sure though) I mean hey, Kudo is 17 and he's meitantei, right?

Ai was born into the black org... both her parents were part of it And that reminds me that Yukiko is 37 (vol 22 f4 p11) ^^
