Something to highlight is that Phoenix's Name was initially put forward as "Roger Wright" with 'Phoenix' being low on the list of potential first names, but was picked by Capcom over 'Roger' as they liked the heroism of it.

Ooh, Pierce Wright could have worked.
Kind of curious why they didn't use "Pierce" for Edgeworth, actually. Would have been useful for a lot of puns that came out a bit awkward in English.

Good decision. That might've also been too close to another Roger in a suit.

There's also Roger Sheringham, an amateur detective who gets its wrong pretty much always.

Even if it's almost touching copyright, having Susato call Ryuu "Mr. Roger" would be very welcome. I dunno if they'd be able to pull it off, though.
