Well, I've taken the replies in this thread as suggestions and I've come up with a version 1 of suggested guidelines and changes to current ROM names.
It's certainly not complete. This first version was compiled by just eyeballing the .147 list and screenshotting title screens of anything that looked like it might be a bit off. I'm sure there are more games to update, but hopefully this list is a good start.
I've posted the guidelines I've written here (http://hastebin.com/hiwuqiraqu.vhdl), attached the Excel spreadsheet I've been using and posted an HTML version of the spreadsheet here: http://route-20.com/~ryo/mame_jp_names.html
I just realized the fields aren't marked. The first field is the ROM set, second is the current name, third is my recommended change, and the last is my reasoning behind the changes (the number in parentheses refer to the Guidelines I wrote).
Once some of the other Japanese familiar members will post their opinions and if everything looks good, I'll submit this to mamedev.org as suggested by Stiletto.
