Hmmm....
The 4kids dub & YGOA don't have this problem because they use different names, but in Japan, there's something I wonder about.
The group refer to Yuugi & Anzu by first name, but nobody addresses Honda & Jounouchi by first name; Katsuya & Hiroto respectively. I know in Asia it's supposed to be respectful to address people by family name, but that seems really odd for friends who shouldn't be formal with eachother. Where I live it's insulting or overly formal to address people by last name, like if your boss calls you in & uses your last name instead of your first, you know you're in trouble.
