The animated series is an American product, not redubbed from Japan. The movie is supposed to be based on the series. Shyamalan claimed to be a fan. But, among other errors (some of which are certainly the normal fan reaction of "not the movie we wanted to see"), the movie changes the pronunciation of main character names? That's hard to explain.
(Edit: apologies to the above poster, who's right, but at least I use "anime" for animated and "manga" for drawn? oh well, not much of an "at least"...)
