::No, since "Kris" does not appear in non-American English box art of Crystal. クリス is also used as the first suggested Japanese name for both "Gold" and Marina. In English Crystal, it's romanized as CHRIS for the hero and KRIS for the heroine.

:::But your argument for calling her Marina is somewhat flawed, because by the same logic we'd be calling Red "Ash Ketchum" because Ash is based on Red. Also, I'd like to point out that the Australian boxart also calls her Kris, so it's not just American.[[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 21:13, 24 August 2015 (UTC) | :::But your argument for calling her Marina is somewhat flawed, because by the same logic we'd be calling Red "Ash Ketchum" because Ash is based on Red.

::::It really isn't. All the anime counterparts of the female protagonists share the names with their game counterparts (May, Dawn, Iris, Serena). And technically speaking, Game Freak did call Red "Satoshi" but that doesn't matter anymore since Red is his name as an NPC. | |||
::::What about the UK box art and the European localizations? [http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/images/box-20177 The Japanese box art] definitely doesn't name any of the protagonists, and we should follow the Japanese version while looking up the name for the game's heroine.
