It isn't, though.

It is though because my point on dromarch wasn't that people will get dromarch as a reference but won't get byakko, it's that they kept the idea of mythological beast and found a name that fit the rest of the names they chose. Dromarch does not sound out of place next to rex and pyra and nia and zeke. Byakko does.

Nia (which surprises me, since that's a Japanese name)

Nia also fits the theme of rpg western fantasy. It's also just straight up a popular western name (supposedly top 10 in the last decade). Pretty much anything that ends in ia is going to fit a typical fantasy naming scheme.

subtitle dissonance with the audio,

I'm fine with that being the sacrifice for a better sounding naming scheme. Localizers shouldn't be worried about people that play with japanese audio, and use english subs, and know enough japanese to know when the subs don't match. It's already throwing those people a bone to include dual audio.
