Why is the Earth element's large collectible's name always changed? Take a look at this:
Water:
Toa: Gali
Bohrok: Gahlok
Rahkshi: Gurahk
Fire:
Toa: Tahu
Bohrok: Tahnok
Rahkshi: Turahk
Air:
Toa: Lewa
Bohrok: Lehvak
Rahkshi: Lerahk
Stone:
Toa: Pohatu
Bohrok: Pahrak
Rahkshi: Panrahk
Ice:
Toa: Kopaka
Bohrok: Kohrak
Rahkshi: Kurahk (sp?)
Earth:
Toa:Onua
Bohrok:Nuhvok
Rahkshi:Vorhak
All the others stay the same or similar; yet Earth's changes entirely. Why is this?

All the other names have consonants first, then vowels. Onua's doesn't. Does 'Onuhvok' sound very good?

Maybe not, but 'Onvhok' would sound a bit better. But the Rahkshi could at least be called Nurahk, as that sounds good.

Well, not entirely changed. Onua is the root. Nu and Onu are the pre-fixes. Both are similar, both come from the root word. But Vorahk, as you said, is weird. But it sounds better than Nurahk, or Onurahk. Maybe there's a future storyline explanation?
BTW, it's Guurahk, not Gurahk.

I always though of it as strange, but when it comes down to it I'm happy that they change the name a little. There is always so many similarities between names that this adds a little variety.

I don't know why Lego did that. Maybe they did it because every time they found a name that they liked better.
