Well, the names of characters are one thing, but what about non-character terms? I think we should decide what to call the following things:


 * Shitennō (四天王) - They literally mean "Four Heavenly Kings", a reference to Buddhist deities. However, the term can also be used to describe four leaders in a given field; for example, the Elite Four in Pokemon are called 四天王 in the Japanese version of the series. So I don't blame Aniplex for calling them the Elite Four, or Four Elites. Frankly, I could go either way on this.
 * Goku Seifuku (極制服) - Aniplex translates this term as Goku Uniform, whereas it's called a Goku Suit on this Wiki. However, various translation dictionaries, including Wiktionary, translate the term 制服 (seifuku) exclusively as "uniform". As for the term 極 (goku), it is generally used in multiple Asian languages to describe something of the highest possible extremity. I've been hearing some rumblings about calling it the "Ultra Uniform", seeing how the word "ultra" has the same connotation as 極. I vote in favor of Ultra Uniform.
 * Kamui (神衣) - It's a phrase used to describe Senketsu, literally meaning "God Clothes". However, the term kamui seems to have a double meaning referring to kamuy (written in the Ainu language as カムイ), a type of deity. It'd be hard to convey this double meaning if we translate it, so I'm thinking of keeping it as Kamui.

I'll think of more as I go along.
