The only examples I can think of are Giorno and Josuke's stands. In the manga and what Giorno says aloud his stand's name is "Gold Experience", but the subs translate it to "Gold Wind" and I think I've heard people irl also just call it that. Haven't read the manga for part 4,but in the subbed anime Josuke says "Crazy Diamondo" while it is translated to "Shining Diamond" in the subs. What's going on?

Preface: all/most stand names/attacks are in some way referencing something related to the western music scene, I.e. Killer Queen, Bite The Dust, Red Hot Chilly Pepper.
Copyright. If they used the original names, the people who owned the rights to those names can sue Araki / David Productions.

But why can you copyright NAMES? That's retarded. Why can't I sue everyone who has the same name as me then?

This can't be answered in universe.
The answer is copyright. All the names are music references, when translated to English they slightly change the name to avoid Copyright problems.
So "Crazy Diamond" becomes "Shining Diamond".
"Bad Company" becomes "Worse Company."
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" becomes "Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price"
Etc etc
Yes that last one is real.

You got the first example reversed, "Crazy Diamond" is the original name

Question. Does that name change also happen in the Viz Media Manga? I recently started collecting them but haven’t gotten to the part where stands appear. Does the manga translation keep the original stand names ? :)
