For this one I don't think it is for no apparent reason. I think it is just different cultures with their associations of the celestial bodies. For example Venus is obviously associated with Venus a sexy goddess. Mercury with speed. Mars with war and etc.
So why would Lulu be War in the English version? In Japanese Ka is more associated with fire, which Lulu being a mage makes sense.
So why would Wakka be speedy and tricky in the English version? Again in Japanese Sui is more to do with Water, which Wakka is often in the water during the game.
I feel like they put a lot of thought into it actually.
