Even names are changed: Peter, Nicodemus, and Bethsaida become "Rocky," "Ray," and "Fishtown."How ever did they come up with these names. LOL. This is ridiculous.

I wonder if one of the disciples was renamed "Bulwinkle."

How ever did they come up with these names. LOL. This is ridiculous. Although it is highly unusual to translate foreign-language based proper nouns (my own name in real life would, if translated, be a rather long phrase) "Rocky" is a reasonable translation of "Peter" or "Cephas". I don't know what "Bethsaida" means. They must have been smoking something to get "Ray" out of "Nicodemus".
As for the rest, what they have produced is not the Bible, and is arguably blasphemous.

Rocky for Peter (petra) is understandable, and Bethsaida was a fishing village on the Sea of Galilee. Ray for Nicodemus? Ya got me on that one.

It sounds like 4kids got a hold of the bible.
