Liko is a Hawaiian name for sure, we looked it up. Or rather Hibiki stumbled over it by mistake. Toei probably doesn't even know that there's a name like that. And I don't think they care much. About Ellen, I think Eren is easier for a Japanese to remember than Ellen. Especially since the target audience are kids.

There are other softwares than Photoshop and Sai you can use to draw. I hate that people (aka PS artists) treat other softwares that bad just because they are freeware. Before I got Sai, I drew a lot with a program called Paint.NET and I never had any problems with it - until I got my graphic tablet. I drew completely with mouse and Paint.NET back in september for example. It's not the price that makes a program good. It's how skilled you are with it.

The more anime you watch the more Japanese you understand. On top of that, I can say that I can understand and speak Japanese quite good by now. I learned a lot words through watching anime.
