>=) Flip a coin for this one.
It's commonly called the Jim, though.

Actually, the Japanese pronunciation is Goo-fu.

Gee-yan. I'm using the original katakana for most of these.

Rikku-Dom. Basically the same as the English, actually.
As for characters, there are a whole lot of Gundam characters with weird
romanizations...the worst are :
Char Aznable (technically, it should be "Sha" since that's the kanji of his
name)
Camille Vidan (I've seen so many versions it's not funny anymore)
Lalah Sun (Same here)
Loran Cehack (Again, same)
Amuro Rei (I don't care what anyone says, it's Rei, not Ray. ^_^)
And some more which I can't remember right now.
