Other English names

[Blue Bell]

I actually really like the name Antoinette, and I think Angelo is supposed to be like the painter, so it seems pretty fitting. And I have to admit, I kinda hated the name Shelfer, so sherry sounds 100x better XD I didn't really let myself get too attached to any of the original names though.

OTHER NAME SPECULATIONS ANYONE? ANEMONE SHOULD STAY THE SAME CAUSE IT'S JAPANESE AND JAPANESE IS KAWAII AND DESU AND OTHER JAPANESE WORDS?

I always thought of sea anemone whenever I read her name, so I never really thought to pin the name origin to a language. It does look japanese, so I got curious and looked it up--turns out it actually has a greek root! :p /nobodycares

I do think Anemone is a really pretty name though. I kind of hope they'll keep it, partially because all the alternative names I can think of are really boring in comparison.

[Hana Wind]

They've both had a name change, although Kagetsu's is not really much of a style change; it's still Japanese. Schmidt's name change is more fitting of his character background, as is Anemone's English name. Juris' name is the only one that's a little odd.

I don't know if I can state what their English names are yet I think Natsume would prefer that information isn't out until after E3, when the game will most likely be available to play on the con floor and visitors can see what the English names actually are.

Hmm... If Kagetsu's English name is still Japanese, then what is the point of changing? Schmidt suits an Arabic prince. Other than meaning sea anemone, "Anemone" also refers to a flower, which reflects her love for flowers. And NO!!! Though the English pronunciation for "Juris" is strange, the words suit him. I can't imagine what the new name is... (I don't know why "Romeo" popped up. )

I KNEW IT

SCHMIDT IS NOW SANJAYA

/o/

*rolls over laughing*

[Blue Bell]

This is pretty stupid and random, but suddenly I really want Yuris's english name to be Christopher @_@
He reminds me of this english boy in a book series I really liked as a kid who was named Christopher. He kinda looks like a Christopher, right? And it sounds like rich english boy name so it kind of suits him >_> This is never going to happen

And actually Nurse Fin I'd be kind of happy with Sanjaya for Schmidt XD

Ugh, I am starting to get worked up over character names. That is never a good idea.

[Ronin19]

darn it! all this suspense is really killing me >< but i'm not going to freak out like i did with candace, or at least try not to...

[CliffLOVEJill]

I KNEW IT

SCHMIDT IS NOW SANJAYA

*rolls over laughing*

LOL. 2 of my classmate's last name is Sanjaya

As for the suggestion of, 'Romeo' *remembering Romeo & Juliet*
Really not a good idea...

I hope Juris' name isn't horrible......TT^TT
What about his brother, Dirka? Any thoughts or news about his name?

[luph n joii]

i never thought that romeo will be disliked by most of people here
i agree that it reminded me to romeo and juliet though
reading it in the literature class, oh well...
but, just in case that we will get more horrible names than it.
i'm just talking about the possibility that they might pass the rock's japanese name from AWL/AnWL to juris.
we've gotten the a case in SI, where lanna's japanese name (lily) is given to suiren.

dirka?
well, i thought names like derek or dominick might fit him, although i haven't played the game yet.
those are the name that i can think when i see him.

i don't like the idea of sanjaya name
he reminds me to the name of my friend who is really annoying.
i'm glad that i've moved to new school though.
also, it reminds me to that sanjaya in american idol
i dislike him for unknown reason(

[Nurse Fin]

Oh yeah, and they'll be altering his sprite to change his hairstyle every day. Including a giant faux-hawk.

[Fretka]

What about his brother, Dirka? Any thoughts or news about his name?

I want him to have a nice name but I'm afraid his name will be Derek.

he does diserve a nice name, a cute name, but the thing is, there aren't that many cute guy names with the letter "d"

[FruitsofSummer]

I'm not keen on Sherry, because that's the 60 year old woman I share an office with... Wonder what Freja is going to be...

Freja is Freya. Dunno if anyone answered that already or not, but isn't that so super creative?

It'll probably be Dirk.

[Nurse Fin]

Nothing wrong with the name Freya, I'm glad they kept it the same o.o
It's an awesome name.

[Ronin19]

It'll probably be Dirk.

what kind of name is dirk anyway? i don't mean anything mean if there are people on here named dirk i think he diserves...well, the best name i can think of is derek, but i don't think natsume's gonna call him that

[Notahu]

It'll probably be Dirk.

It's a male name of Dutch origin, as a variant of the old German name, Derek.

Naming him Dirk or Derek would be reasonable.

[WolfNya]

oh! I think the new names fit them well!~ Sherry is uber cute and Angello is an obvious throwback to Michelangelo. Does this mean Angello is italian? Wonder if he can cook, too :D

He likes cooking and loves good food.

^w^


And I think Pierre's name will be Pierre. *shot*

But if they name Dirka ≈censored≈ or something like that, I'll fall over laughing and go on a psychotic rampage at the same time.
