So obviously, the name "Brock" was inspired by "rock," since he is supposed to be all about rock pokés (why must they change this?!) and "Misty" comes from "misty," which is a description water can take on, since she is all about water types.
But how did they come up with "Ash"? If anything, since he doesn't stick to any one type of pokés in particular, he should have a name that deals with electricity, right? His name is clearly leaning toward fire-types.
Sure they needed that name for the Pokémon 2000 movie's prophecy "world turn to ash," but there's no way they planned that far in advance (dub-wise, at least) to name him so skillfully.
So why did they choose "Ash" as a name? Obviously we know why Satoshi was chosen for the Japanese name, (and Shigeru for the rival), too, but Ash seems completely random.
By the way, how'd the prophecy work out in Japanese? Does the world turn to Satoshi?
Any theories on why "Ash"?
