Well here's another name change suggestion:

I know a lot of people recognize Koopa's name as how it looks in it's pure Romanization (and some even have suggested "Cooper" due to the assumed similarities in pronunciation).

That said the name is コーパ (Koopa), not クーパ (Kuupa) and Cooper is typically spelled クーパー (Kuupaa), from what I gather.

A similar name to コーパ is コーポ (Koopo) like in "Corporation" (コーポレーション). That's not to say necessarily it's a pun on corporation, but I think a name change to "Corpa/Korpa" would be a more accurate choice.
