The Name Game

So I was reading an article on baby names like usual, when it came to me: why not analyze the naming conventions of Yukkuricraft members? This semi-serious thread will collect the good, the bad, & the ugly names that you guys can give. It is semi-serious because I may use these names in the future ;) .

And go!

Remilia Scarlet...

Remilia, like Marisa and Alice, is a very Western name. Probably a made-up name that sounds similar to the Japanese name Remy. Scarlet obviously is a reference to the reddish color that is of blood.

Remi isn't a japanese name. It's an italian one, though :P

True, but when Japan received contact from Westerners, they found Western names to be interesting, and they began naming their child in Western-like Japanese name, especially in the post-WWII era. Hence the name Marisa(魔理沙), which literally means Magic Reason Sand. Remy probably is the similar deal.

I don't know, I didn't take Etymology :/

For me Remilia sounds like a royal or dominant name

This thread is good so far. I've never thought about Remilia's name before. It's pretty, that's for certain. Then again, I think the name Lloyd is cool...

Lloyd??? the one from code geass?

this is probably to do with phonetics and a subconscious realisation of patterns in the names of upperclassmen or people in a position in power (which she herself sorta is)

as for my name, i literally went 'hina. hina kagiyama. hinahinahina. hinabanana. lol' and from there it just kind of stuck. over time, it became shortened to just 'banana', but my avatar shows the etymology of my name. i actually have about 6 different guises on the internet lol

Let me go through my history of usernames

Cucoo5 -> derived from a misspelling of Cucco and thinking there were 5 Cuccos in Kakariko Village when I played OoT when I was not even 10.
*This stuck for about 7 years*
Cicero Pennomen -> Derived from Latin *obviously* and a few other things
1. Cucoo5 -> CC5 -> two Cs and 5 characters +1 including the number -> Cicero
2. Pen Name -> was watching The Adventures of Merlin, therefore was thinking Pendragon -> *replace dragon and insert clever latin* -> Pennomen
