I like the sound of "Plaza".

And wasn't there an "E" at the end of Form in the first place?

It depends on how you translate it.

フォーム = foomu = Form = Forme

I always translated it as Form so to me Forme is a dub term.

Why the hell add an E on the end of form?

Dunno, so they could Frenchatize the name a bit? Dictionary.com claims Forme is a british word that means Origin if it helps

Well, new dub names have surfaced at Pokemon's official site:

Giratina Another Form = Giratina Altered Forme
Giratina Origin Form = Giratina Origin Forme

They switched it around? That's going to be annoying.

I don't think it changed

Quote from Official Pokemon Website

Coming exclusively to Nintendo DS on March 22, 2009, Pokemon Platinum Version introduces players to a new world to explore in the Sinnoh region: The Distortion World. Many other surprises await, including the appearance of Giratina in its Origin Forme, the Pokemon's true Forme.

Giratina Origin Forme doesn't appear in Pokemon Diamond Version or Pokemon Pearl Version, so if you want to catch a glimpse of this Pokemon, you'll have to play Pokemon Platinum Version. The Forme of Giratina players encounter in Pokemon Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version is known as Giratina Altered Forme.

Sorry. My mistake. Now I am satisfied...at least with Origin Form. I liked the name, "Another Form" better than "Altered Form."
