Character Names
相田 マナ/キュアハート -- Partner: シャルル
Mana Aida / Cure Heart -- Partner: Cheryl
Note: シャルル is literally the katakana version of the French pronunciation of "Charles" but シャルル is a girl fairy, so I went with a female variant that is as close to the katakana as I can get it. "Cheryl is also an English form of the French, German, Dutch, English, and Scandinavian name Charlotte." Which is, of course, the female version of Charles.

菱川 六花/キュアダイヤモンド -- Partner: ラケル
Rikka Hishigawa / Cure Diamond -- Partner: Raquel
Note: Some places have romanized it as "Rachel", however, Raquel is another form of the same name that more closely matches the katakana in its normal pronunciation.
四葉 ありす/キュアロゼッタ -- Partner: ランス
Arisu Yotsuba / Cure Rosetta -- Partner: Lance
Note: While ありす (as アリス) is "Alice", it is also a very legitimate Japanese name on its own, with a long history of use before the influx of western culture. There's many ways to write ありす in kanji.
剣崎 真琴/キュアソード -- Partner: ダヴィ
Makoto Kenzaki (Leaked) / Cure Sword -- Partner: Davie
Note: I could have done "Davi", but 1) I prefer to stick to normal(ish) names as much as possible; 2) I could see the "Davie" spelling being used as a common real name, unlike Davi; 3) said spelling is androgynous, so it works no matter of Davie is male or female; and 4) "Davie" can easily be read in a way that matches the katakana.
Items
ラビリーコミューン -- Lovely Commune
キュアラビーズ -- Cure Lovies, this season's decors.
Note: ラビーズ is a portmanteau of love (ラブ) and rubies (ルビーズ), making Lovies.
