Most of these names are spoiler-free, some less so. I've tagged the more incriminating parts, though. Obviously you shouldn't be in this thread if you don't want to know anything about the characters in GS5.
5-1:
Hozumi Kaku -> Heidi Corner. Her Japanese name literally translates to "hide in a corner" iirc so this is about as straightforward as you can get.
Spoiler:
5-2:
Kyuubi Ginji -> Arthur Fox. Like the Arctic fox. Because he's the mayor of the kitsune town.
Deemon Tenma -> Hoshino Tenma. I mean I guess we could just leave it as Deemon and call it a day, but it's too close to Gant's name for comfort. Comes from hoshi no tama, the little onion-y balls that trail around folks possessed by kitsunes. Which is relevant, given that his suit seems to have quite a few of those on it.
Shuichi Biyouin -> Claude Delucre. Like, "clawed the lucre," because he's profit-minded. Also sounds like "Claude, the looker," because oh my is he handsome! (Ha ha ha.)
5-3:
Shinji Ichiro -> Leonidas Means. Leonidas was the king of Sparta, which fits into the whole Greek god thing he's got going on. Plus, he has a little lion on his vest! Ain't it cute??
Chishio Atsui -> Tracey Wheeler. Tracey like tracing, and wheeler like a pottery wheel. The perfect name for a hot-blooded artist!
Spoiler:
Rei Shizuya -> Harold Cerulean. Cerulean like the color, herp a derp. Harold has the word "arrow" in it, because he's an archer I think.
5-4:
Daichi Aoi -> Thomas Major. "Ground control to Major Tom-- your circuit's dead! Is something wrong?"
Hoshinaro Taiyou -> Wyatt Dwarf. White dwarf. Because he's a star or something.
Uchuu Oogawara -> Melchior Andromeda. Melchior comes from "milky" as in the Milky Way. So his name refers to the Milky Way and Andromeda, the two nearest galaxies. Melchior is also the name of one of the Biblical magi, which means he's oooooooold. Impossibly old. Old as balls.
Kaguya Yuugami -> Selene Blackquill. SELENE is the name of the Japanese satellite which her name derives from, so yep.
5-5:
Mari Kizuki -> Mary Cykes. Straight up romanization of her first name.

Hozumi Kaku - Chloe Cornelia. Cornelia kind of contains the word for corner. And it's alliterative too.
Ginji Kyuubi - Foxley Tales. Obviously, the name contains the word fox and tails.
Deemon Tenma - Daimon Tenma.
Spoiler:
Shuuichi Biyouin - Quintrell Oliver. Oliver comes from the olive tree, which is a symbol of beauty. Quintrell is supposed to sound like an upper-class name and it also means elegant. Ignore the fact that Oliver is also the first name to another character as this time, it's used as a last name.
Chishio Atsui - Taylor Amber. Amber comes from ember and Taylor means "tailor", which is the closest I can reference to what Chishio does in the case.
Spoiler:
Rei Shizuya - Nicolas Acelin. Contains the word ace and the pronunciation of Nicolas kind of contains the pronunciation of cold.
Shinji Ichiro - Aris Means. Aris is a nickname for several Greek names such as Aristotle.
Daichi Aoi - Jay Cobalt. Cobalt means blue and Jay sounds like a regular name and means "blue-crested bird".
Taiyou Hoshinari - Sterling Merritt. Both the meanings of the names are related to the word star.
Kaguya Yuugami - Selena Blackquill. As stated before in the first post, Kaguya is the Japanese nickname for the satellite SELENE although Selena sounds a bit more natural then Selene.
Uchuu Oogawara - Harold Rivera. Rivera refers to his original name meaning and Harold sounds right for an old man like him.
Ponco and Ponta - Stays the same. They're acronyms anyway.
Mari Kizuki - Minerva Cykes. Minerva means mind or intellect and is considered the equivalent to the Greek goddess Athena (gee, look at that. I didn't expect that to happen.)

- Rei Shizuya = Arthur Frost (Arthur sounds like "Archer for Archery) /Chris Archer (Chris sounds like "Crisp" for Cold)

Speaking of which, I'm thinking the Great Kyuubi would simply be localized as the Great Nine-Tails although the name kind of looks too plain. Maybe the Legendary Nine-Tails?
I was thinking something along those lines. But then again, they did keep Tenma Taro (probs because it was really difficult to localize.)

Apparently, Shouko Umino's and Ale's names in English are Buckler (not confirmed if first or last name) and Orla, respectively. Interesting although the names only came from one English screenshot of Turnabout Return. Of course, Orla's obviously comes from "orca" and I guess Buckler comes from "buccaneer". Hmm...
Swashbuckler.

Wow, good guess. Does sound close enough to swashbuckler.
Anyway, I think Ikuya Itsuka is going to be Marlin Corsair (the initials are apparently a term for rapping). Marlin comes from marlinspike and corsair is a term for a pirate.

Illogical. Here are my other name ideas excluding Turnabout Return:
Daichi Aoi: Jonathan Cobalt (Put a long "E" sound between the "J" and the "O", and you get the "geo" in "geology", which relates to the meaning of his full name, "blue earth")
Taiyou Hoshinari: Tarek Sterling (both names relate to star
Uchuu Oogawara: Melchior Ohgawara (Melchior is a pun on the "milky" in "Milky Way", and the Edgeworth cutscene shows his surname misspelled, which is probably the English spelling)

I don't think Oowagara's "English" name spelling will be kept in English version, actually.
I know that they romanise his name in game as "Ohgawara" and by changing his name, they'd need to redraw the anime cutscenes, so I don't know if they'd keep his name as is, and just change his first name? Kinda like how Deemon Tenma had not change from his Japanese name.

Also, why can't they redraw it? They did it with sprites, shout bubbles, backgrounds, locations and evidence before. I see no problem here.

It's much, much easier to change a background than it is to change an anime cutscene made by an external company.

Ale Arafune -> Orla Cetacean. I wanted to come up with a funny pun name and I was like "Hey, this sounds like "a laceration" and also like a cetacean like the mammal??"
Ryouji Arafune -> Edward Cetacean. Edward like Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard). Also, they could call him Eddy, which is all rough watery and etc. like his Japanese name.
Shouko Umino -> Sasha Buckler. Is there any question here?
Reika Uratori -> Candice Coleridge. Candice is the name of a novel, and Coleridge was the surname of a fellow who wrote a pretty notable poem about the crew of a ship. Plus, it makes the phrase "ice cold!" And it's alliterative.
Ikuya Itsuka -> Matt Fishrap. Matt was supposed to be short for mature?? Like, growing up.
Spoiler:
Gaku Sugimori -> Penn Cooper. Because there's a penguin nesting in his hair I guess?
Suzumi Natsuzake -> Belle Luger. Um... she works with a whale. So she's named like a whale? A bel-luga. Ahahaha.

In the anime cutscenes his name there is like... Two static backgrounds in the scene?
You can be surprised at how they can sometimes be, like how they left the Kanji on Meekin's police outfit:
That's in both AJ and in PW. And he appeared in that 3D video in 'Rise from the Ashes' remember? So it may be the same case for this?
Then again, the English translation was happening concurrently with the Japanese game (or so I heard) and so they could've asked Bones (the company who made the anime cutscenes) to re-draw the scene then?
Spoiler: Case 4 opening anime scene

Really? His English name has been confirmed already?
And anyway, they did change the background for a Case 3 location (not a spoiler btw) and the writing on Myriam Scuttlebutt's box so I guess they would change all Japanese text on the backgrounds, sprites and mugshots to English (not counting Case 2 considering the setting). They could very well redraw that portion of the anime cutscene.

If they use layers and Oogawara's name only appears on a pair of static background, then a name change is feasible.
