Even if it should be Lucia in English they call her Rukia the Japanese pronunciation, same thing applies to Aerith.
Her name...changing...made her more annoying? >.> I am an older fan I played FFVII when it was new, yet I still prefer Aerith, because that makes more sense and its what they call her now.
It's a little different because in japan her name is Earisu, which is Earth. It isn't the japanese way of saying Aerith.
But yeah, I never really liked any of the characters from FFVII in KH or CC. They felt a little foreign. I don't know maybe it was just me, but when I played FFVII I didn't get as much of an impression that Cloud was emo. So it isn't that Aerith was annoying because of her name change, something at Square just happened that made her different. I like to think that the writers of seven were all killed in a mysterious accident, or in horrible horrible ways.
