What are you talking about? Those names are not official. To be official would be using the literal Japanese language for the names, like ゴクウブラック漆黒の脅威.

What we are using now are fanslations. Translations done by fans. They aren't official because they don't come straight from Bamco and different words can translate many, MANY different ways.

Take Omega Shenron for example. We translated its name as "Negative Energy of Despair". The official Global name is "Hopeless Minus Energy". Notice how similar those names are? Its because the fans translated them differently than how Bamco did.

To be using the official names would be using the ones Bamco gives to us in Global.
