The english version has not followed the original names at all. Instead of using th enames based upon the tale of the monkey king they have taken names from the Dumas classic "The three Musketeers". More info about the history of th enames can be found: History.

What annoys me the most is the fact that the english version made Haka/Porkos sound like a PIG! Yikes! Though he calms down a bit on this in the later episodes this was the biggest disappointment for me when I first saw the English episodes. This version sadly made him look so much more stupid than the rest pf the versions (I have not heard the translations of all languages I must add).
