    Alex, do you know what's the German term for Moon Stone? For in Sailor Moon's German dub (at least in the songs I have heard) Moon Tiara is called Mondstein or something. Correct?

    Yep, they could make like 100000 new Pokémon and name them all with funny Finnish words.

    But isn't it quite probable that if you invent a word with, let's say, 4 letters, that word already exists in another language!

    Yes, that's correct. Moon Stone in German is Mondstein.

    To translate Moon Tiara with Mondstein is quite odd though. A correct translation would be Mond Tiara or Stirnreif des Mondes.
