Petelguese is the characters name and offical pronunciation by the company (probably because betelguese would be confusing with beetlejuice from the move and franchise of the same name as it has the same origin and they share cerain perifery character features) but the literal transliteration is betelguese as his name refers to "the Red Star," (the right hand of the Orian constalation) which is Betelguese in English.

because "p" and "b" are the same in other languages the Japanese translators decided on "p," the exact reason is not confirmed. based on reports the change was made by the corperation that does the translations so it is cannon, not that it matters or that people actually know the name of that star.
