Zhang Qiu. That's the name used in China (mainland). Taken from:

"For 'Chang', both Mainland and Chinese translations choose the 
common Chinese surname Zhang1, often written 'Chang' by Taiwanese and 
overseas Chinese, who do not use the pin'yin romanisation. 

The given name 'Cho' has to be guessed at. The sound 'cho' doesn't 
occur in pin'yin, but could be equivalent to zhuo, chuo, chou, zhou, 
zhe, che, qiu or even jiu - take your pick! The problem is finding a 
nice-sounding, plausible character that would be suitable as a girl's 
name. The translators choose Qiu1, meaning 'autumn'."
