Story and our heroes
- The main city has a tournament that is held every year. The winner of the tournament can ask one wish from the King. The losers will be humiliated and punished by the crowd.
- Husky : A warrior who fled from the village from the North. His village was attacked by a group of mysterious army. He was told to flee by his comrade in order to save the remaining children from the village. He's currently living in the wood with the children. Unable to get a job from the city due to people seeing him as a foreigner and stranger, he decided to put his fighting skill into good use by joining the tournament, so that he can find a peaceful place for the children.
- Cat : The prince from another country. He's about to be announced as the next king. However, bored with the life in the palace, he ran away and started his own adventure. He joined the tournament purely because of entertainment.
- Bear : The slave of the main city. He does not want to join the tournament, but is forced by his master. The bear is told to win the tournament and ask the king for his master's wish in exchange of the bear's freedom.

bull-zohar(bible's name) ,bardem, carlos darius
bear-gustaf, helmut ,knut
fox-salvatore, liroi
Come on you guys. You got to select a name and support. :-\
Ahem... Almond is so cute for Tanuki. This raccoon is so clumsy so it fits to have a nutty name.
Like that.
Well, there's probably a long time until the game is ready, so probably no need to rush to selecting names yet.
I have a few suggestions and random musings on the names and naming in general.
THOUGHTS
Husky: I actually like the name Remos from the list. The 'r' at the beginning makes the name sound like a growl or a roar. It's intimidating, which seems perfect for a skilled warrior like the husky.
Bull: Seeing Damacles on the list is kind of interesting, since the "sword of Damacles" hanging over everyone's head is the prospect of losing and being raped in front of a large crowd. I don't know if it's the name I would pick, but it makes me think of this.
SUGGESTIONS
Lion: Rexaureus (from Latin Rex-king, aureus-golden), the golden king. He is essentially the "king" of the arena, being the champion of a previous tournament, and he has a beautiful coat of golden fur. The 'r' roar/growl sound is a bonus.
Fox: Alchilon, Alchivul, Vullerick, Vuldrane. All of these use one or both of the Latin roots Alchimia-alchemy, vulpes-fox. I felt a more elaborate name would be fitting for an alchemist and tried to reflect that in these names. Also, we really don't know much of the fox's back story, besides he's an alchemist and a fox.
Cat: Cyril, from Greek Kyrillos-lordly or masterful. I know some of you are partial to the name 'Cyrus' already, but I have two reasons for suggesting this slight variation. First, there are many characters named Cyrus already (like that guy in Chrono Trigger or the boss of Team Galactic in Pokemon 4th gen), so people might end up making mental associations (whether consciously or subconsciously) between the cat and other unrelated characters. Second, the cat is one of the softer looking fighters, so changing the harsher -us sound to the softer -il sound would reflect this better.
Tanuki: Meeka. From the Native American Osage language, Mika literally means raccoon. I just like the 'ee' better than 'i.'
--
That's all I have for now. Sorry for being wordy, but I like to be thorough when thinking about things, and like to offer reasons for my conclusions. Whether you like the names or not, I hope at least it wasn't too boring to read through my methodology.

Not at all! I find all these very interesting and I really enjoy reading it :) I love the Lion's name. Let's see if the others in the team like it too.
Husky: Let's hope so. Remo's is a warrior name like a barbarian. Where else to find his loincloth like Conan. ^^
Bull: no name should be use for punishment. We better use Egyptian name because he's a priest there. :-\
Lion: Hmmm so if the Lion is the champion from previous tournament then that means he isn't the king who gives the wishes to the winner of the tournament. Would be weird if the King gets punished by his own men. They should be feared by the king.
Hope if Rexaureus also means Champion or king of beast.
Fox: So we got 4 choices.... Al for Alchemist or Vulp for vulpines. Alchivul and Vullerick sounds cool but is he a son of an alchemist? You can use Alchivul if he's a son of the alchemist. oO Vulpine because he is a fox. So I go with Vullerick.
Cat: I think Prince Cyrus should be better. Persian Desert prince are cool just like prince of persia game :)
Tanuki
Tanukies are japanese. He has a leaf on his head. Their foxes and tanukies there can use leaf magic. We cannot use American native name.
reply please.
Bull: The name Damocles isn't inherently tied to punishment. Damocles, in the court of King Dionysius II, proclaimed it must be a great fortune to be in such a position of power. The king offered to switch places with Damocles, to which the latter agreed. And so Damocles took the throne, but Dionysius hung a sword above, held by a single horse tail hair, symbolizing the constant fear of those in power. Damocles ended up wishing to switch back, as he no longer wanted to bear such a burden. So I guess the name is more tied to a constant fear of punishment rather than punishment itself, but I do agree a different name should be better.
Lion: When I say 'king,' I don't mean it literally. I know he is not the guy holding the tournament and granting wishes. 'King of the arena' simply means he is at the top of the arena ladder, having bested all others with superior strength and skill. Also, 'rex' simply means king, without any additional context. It could refer to lions being known as "kings of the jungle," or "kings of beasts."
Fox: I don't know about the fox's ancestry, but keep in mind it is not impossible to adopt a name other than the one given at birth. Especially if there is some sort of magical order to which alchemists belong, as I can definitely see members adopting a special name when being inducted into such an order of great mystical power.
Cat: Cyrus is fine. It's just a relatively common name nowadays, whereas Cyril is less common and more archaic, which fits the medieval sort of theme for the game. Also, which phonetics aren't everything, I do like to consider them.
Tanuki: In Native American culture, raccoons also have legends and mystical powers. But I suppose if you want to keep him Japanese, I know 'mika' means something else entirely, which would make it no longer a fitting name. But if he's Japanese and we shouldn't use Native American names because those aren't Japanese, does that mean Almond, Puck, and Charming Wind are out the window? Those are English names which don't preserve a Japanese flavor.
Tanuki: I like Almond :3
Lion: I don't really like the name, Rexaureus, cause it sounds like a dinosaur
Tanuki: I was merely responding to the assertion that since tanukis are Japanese, we can't use a Native American name. English names are not Japanese either. Can we not use those either? Where do we draw the line? It's easier to just say, "I don't like Meeka. I like Almond better." And that's fine. Name suggestions are exactly that--suggestions.
Lion: I suppose I can see why you think the name sounds like a dinosaur's, but that could just be a side effect of the Latin which is used for scientific categorization. 'Rex' is in the name Tyrannosaurus Rex because of its meaning, while '-aureus' is similar to the '-saurus' suffix on many dinosaur names. I would like to point out 'aureus' means golden while 'saurus' means lizard, and the 'e' in 'aureus' makes it phonetically different. Still, when naming it's generally wise to stay away from names people connect to unrelated things, so it is a concern.
If we're looking to stay with Latin, its an easy problem to resolve. Just changing it to something like "Rexanimus," which means "courage of kings," would probably solve that phonetic problem. If we want to abandon Latin altogether, that's not a problem either. Looking at word etymology is just one of the easier places to start when thinking up names.
Ummm, I'm not trying to be technical. I don't really care about the cultural or translation accuracy of a character, I just like cool sounding names for cool looking characters :3
Besides, some Japanese anime characters are named after food. Just sayin~
I don't mind Rex, but it's the "-saurus" part that sounds like a dinosaur.
I plan for Tanuki to come from Japan equivalent in Kemo Coliseum's world, so he has to has a Japanese name.
I didn't realize Rexaureus sounds like a dinosaur at first! But that's probably because I mispronounce it. Haven't asked the others yet but I'll point them to this thread as soon as I get in touch with them :)
It's true though. Japanese named some characters with food name. Like an example a cute characters such as Tart, Souffle, Mint and Vanilla and clumsy character on nuts like Walnut, Peanut, Apricot and Almond.
If a champion lion think of a nick name like from a football captain name. Rex is cool also.
Now I am curious who is the King watching the tournament? Do I have a gutty feeling that the king is a dragon watching there?

Japanese name, huh? How about Honda Bandai Mitsubishi? lol
XD
But seriously, what about Hikaru or Haru? Or is that too generic?
Well, there you go. The tanuki's name is going to be Japanese.
I don't have anything against naming people after food, but that often reflects the whimsical nature of the character or the anime. If it fits, that's great. Maybe Almond fits the tanuki because he's fatty, nutty, and wholesome. Regardless, it looks like it's no longer on the table.
With any name, there are two things to consider (more than that, but most of the rest are minor): sound and meaning. Sounding appropriate is the most important, since a cool sounding name with no particular meaning is far better than one that means something but sounds terrible. So I agree: sound > meaning. But piecing together names is much easier with meanings than sounds, so that is where I started.
'Aureus' has three syllables, while 'saurus' has two, so they should sound different. I wonder if a large number of people think of dinosaurs when reading that name. You're the first to mention it, but there may be more.
I suggest tanuki's name aoba(blue leaf) or tokichi(rattan's luck) how about contain the plants name in tanuki's name?
husky-I recomand russian name..(ex yaroslav-lightning glory) he from the northern land and warrior so i think
yaroslav is suits him
(remos I already read tiehan's reply . ' at the beginning makes the name sound like a growl or a roar'
it's good point and brilliant, but I think remos is not match husky's name)
fox-he is arlchemist then..how about jeremiah?
bull-how about latin name? or baptismal name?
panther-difficult...! we have few information about him.. (he is crazy about blood ) ah.. kakula(no meaning but i think
this name somewhat propers him)
bear-he is slave
so how about simple name? (ex) gustaf helmut..
cat-egyptian name...( egypt also use arabic) ex)tahir, adbel, hamid,
lion- I also think Rexaureus is good!! great
rabbit, eagle (we have to know their's information please update quickly)
My question is, now that Punipen was being specific with the Tanuki's name, what kind of names are you looking for for the rest of the cast?
Also, have you asked the Japanese fans for their opinions on the names, Punipen?
Just telling ya what's the confirmed or liked names they've chosen

Bear: Ooo, that's clever. I didn't catch that.
Eagle: Does that word mean "someone who hunts eagles" or "an eagle who hunts?" Or does it mean either one? If it was exclusively the former, that would be a problem.
Lion: Rex sounds like something I would name my dog. Let's try to expand or vary that name.
Tanuki: It sounds like Almond isn't going to work anymore.
As Reiga mentioned already, given how the tanuki's name has a strict requirement now, what kinds of guidelines are we looking at for the others?
I'm glad this thread has some life in it again, but hopefully we can get more than six posters in here. There has to be some creativity out there, just waiting to be tapped.

Eagle: No idea. Maybe the Eagle is the Hunter. Native Indians always give warriors name in blessings. Like an example Nightwolf - the Silent wolf night hunter.
Eagle: From a quick Google search, it appears the Hopi tribe kills golden eagle chicks as part of their religion. Thus, the name "Makya" would mean 'someone who hunts eagles.' I don't think the name will work anymore, unless this eagle is hunting himself or other members of his species.

He's right.... did more research on Makya name. There are indians who dress up as eagles and also it stated who hunts eagles.
Man They're really putting the eagles into endanger species there.
ok... Let's search another name for the native american eagle.

LOL Cute. Somebody name the Husky puppy Makya
http://www.w1vy.com/makya1.jpg (http://www.w1vy.com/makya1.jpg)
Well, why does the name literally have to be seen as "hunting eagles"? Maybe it can be a sexual euphemism >:3 like, He who hunts eagles(finds another eagle and has sex with it)
tharsix(bear)- I agree. I'ts simple and suits bear's status
eagle-astraeus and knoton (especially knoton) look nice!
tanuki:tanuki's name is inclined to japanese and imply a natural object (leaf)
before naming we should know character's background and etc....we only know husky,bear,cat
few information about lion, fox ,panther (i read these pixiv) no information about rabbit, eagle ,bull
lion-have a strong sense of justice
panther-hunger at blood
fox-mad scientist
more information!!

For one, the guy looks like a lethal hunter. Hunting is (probably) his job, and he's good at it. So between his look and his name, he would probably be seen as one who kills eagles. Something in his back story would have to convey how his name is not literal.
Say this eagle is a vigilante, who hunts down and apprehends members of his tribe or other tribes who have broken their code of morals (so criminals, basically). When conflict arises and the threat of war looms, he uses his tracking and stealth skills to capture the enemy chieftain. But what makes him so remarkable is after capture, all of his targets are convinced to see the errors of their ways, very readily renouncing past actions and conflicts and seeking peace and redemption. How is he so convincing? Well, after a night of the wildest pleasure imaginable at the hands of the hunter, it's hard not to be convinced. For his legendary dedication to rooting out wrongdoers and preserving peace, his people have bestowed upon him the name "Makya," the hunter of eagles.
Is this back story probable? Maybe. Is it contrived and ridiculous? Maybe. It sounds like he's brainwashing people through sex. The biggest problem here is the name forces the creation of a back story. We don't really know what direction Dudedle wants to take their characters in, especially the ones with little existing back story, so we probably shouldn't look for anything that could conflict with their artistic vision of how certain characters should be like.
Given all of the names suggested thus far, here are some of my favorites:
BEAR - Tharsix grew on me, so that has my support. Although, if it's a slave name, does that mean he had a name before that which might come up in the ending or something? Unless he was born into slavery...
CAT - I think Cyrus is fine. Although Tiehan's slight change to Cyril is pretty good too; either one would work.
HUSKY - I remember before that someone suggested Volga, and I really like that name. But Vladislav is also quite good. Ha, what can I say, I think a 'V' name suits the Husky well!
EAGLE - I'm still undecided on this. Niyol, Nodin, Aquilo, and Wambli all sound good, but I can't choose just one yet.
BULL - Marduk, Ezekiel, and Darius all sound like interesting names.
PANTHER - Kakula sounds kind of wild, fitting for this guy! A page I looked at said that it supposedly means "cardamom", a type of spice. And he seems spicy, all right.
FOX - For no good reason, I really like Stuart for him. I say "no good reason" because Stuart means "steward", and he doesn't seem to be one in any way. Ah well. Beyond that, I also like Salvatore.
LION - Grrr, I don't care how silly it sounds, I liked the suggestion of Alcatraz. Didja know it's a Spanish word that means pelican?! His armor in his latest design looks kind of Gothic, so a Spanish name might be suitable. And as unfitting as a name that means "pelican" may seem, those are birds of prey. If not Alcatraz, then I like Maximus also.
RABBIT - Presto means "quickness", a fit name for a rabbit magician. Someone earlier also suggested Aaron, which means "towering, powerful".
TANUKI - Masashige, Ryota, and Sanjirou all seem like decent names.
There are also some names that I would suggest myself.
TANUKI: I'm still hawking the name Ohmori / Oomori for him. Probably with the kanji for "forest", although there are a couple other readings that would work.
RABBIT: Nicholas ("people's victory"), Basil ("king"), Dragomir ("precious peace").
BULL: Khaldun (Egyptian for "immortal").
PANTHER: Githinji ("butcher") or Zahur ("flower"... it seems ironic, but he's dressed colorfully, looks very flexible, and is probably very fertile! Ha ha).
Fox: I'm not sold on Salvatore, which is Italian for "savior." It brings up questions we can't answer. Is the fox Italian or Italian-based? What did he save to be granted the name of 'savior?'
Rabbit: How much do we actually know about him? Is he good? Is he evil? Both? What role does he serve?
Lion: I'd shy away from Alcatraz. Regardless of the original meaning, reading that name almost instantaneously brings me to think about arguably the most notorious prison in United States history. Nothing in the lion's character seems to draw parallels to any of that fear or infamy surrounding Alcatraz the prison, so it is an entirely unrelated connection between the two that people are immediately forced into making.
Tanuki: I like Oomori. From what I can tell with almost no knowledge of Japanese, it means "large forest," which seems fitting. It also sounds mighty fine.
Ok. Just think where does the animals live and by looking of their clothes it tells what jobs they have in their area.

to Tiehan:
Putting aside who gave the fox his name or why, now that you mention that it's an Italian name, I agree that something else may be better. When I was trying to determine the origin of the characters, my first impression was that the Fox looked kind of Germanic. But there haven't been many Germanic names suggested for him. I just chose what I thought sounded best from what was available.
About the rabbit: while there isn't much information presently, I believe punipen once said that he will be 'an important character' or something along those lines. And he is also consistently one of the last characters depicted; his promotion poster was revealed last, for instance. That may just be some misdirection on Dudedle's part, but it suggests to me that he'll be one of the later opponents. And given the way that he's dressed, I don't think it's too far gone to assume that he may be a nobleman of some sort. Well, that's all just speculation, but that partially informed some of my ideas.
It may be true that certain names will suggest an immediate connection, but why should that necessarily be an issue anyway? I think the problem here is that Alcatraz sounds anachronistic because of the image it conjures for people. I suppose the danger of the name sounding misplaced, especially when the original meaning is not widely known, is too great to use it. But it seems kind of boring to ignore a possibility just because the reference isn't immediately obvious to the majority. That said, upon further review, I'm starting to think that it's a bad idea to compare the Lion to a pelican, which I'd think you'd be more concerned about. Although it's a bird of prey, it's not considered a very imposing one. And it doesn't fit his motif at all. (Plus, as I have just now remembered, since this world is populated by numerous kemonos already, it would be kind of weird to give a character a name that refers to another species.)
to Wanfang:
Khaldun isn't meant to imply literal immortality. The name could suggest that he's striving towards a sort of immortality, since he appears to be a religious official. A quick search reveals that a historical figure carried the name, albeit as a surname.
To Phageling:
I hope we don't put too much focus on the origin of the name matching the "nationality" of the character (partially my fault for talking about etymology so much). For some it is an obvious match, like the bull or tanuki, but for others it ends up a little bit harder, like the fox or the rabbit. It probably wouldn't be bad for some of the characters to have more generic names in terms of language of origin. I think as long as there is a reason behind the name, whether it's based on the character ("He's slave number thirty-six, so Tharsix"), phonetics ("The name sounds like a growl, which is perfect for this guy") or word roots ("It means 'courageous heart' in language X"), it should be fine.
In terms of connections between names, people project what they know and feel about one object onto another of the same name. The stronger the feelings, the greater the projection. The following is going to be an extreme example and doesn't reflect at all what I suggest, but just as a thought exercise let's say we name the lion Hitler. The name 'Hitler' means 'one who lives in a hut,' so the meaning isn't inherently sinister. Now, from what I know, the lion is a skilled and valiant fighter with a strong sense of justice, which are admirable qualities. But just from the name, people are going to think of Adolf Hitler, which will color their impression of the lion, even if the two don't have a single thing in common. The immediate impression most people will get of the lion is negative because of the connection between the names, and from there it is an uphill battle to erase that first impression.
Now, would other names create such a strong impression? Likely not, since Hitler is a man bitterly hated by a large number of people. But still, there's just no need for unrelated things to be connected. Name the rabbit "Astaroth," and I'm thinking about a giant, evil, axe-wielding golem from Soul Calibur. That's not necessary.
To Wanfang:
I totally remember D&D Shadow of Mystara. Especially how elf and dwarf were classes. Good times.
In terms of the rabbit, I know he's a magic user, but there are a lot of things to note about his costume. He definitely looked sinister in the draft version, decked out in black and red. As it stands now, the outside of his costume is white while the inside is black and red, kind of like a yin/yang effect. He also possesses the scales, which suggest a balance as well (perhaps between good and evil). His cape also creates what looks like a maw, which with the red, floating daggers makes him look sinister despite the white. Interesting design, but I don't know for sure what to think. Perhaps we'll get some info from Punipen about him.
To Teihan:
The rabbit he might be a dark magic type of user. If you can access the secret Lab you will see his full costume. He's almost like Yugioh. Warlocks uses Forbidden arts of dark magic such as Giga Flare or Espers. Really Strong and higher than Magician.
How about these name for the Lion?
CADWALLON, (a great and successful warrior); king of the Western Britons.
CADWR, battle knight, soldier, warrior.
RICHARD : Strong power; hardy power
TERRIAN: American that is Physically Strong, Ambitious.
Very hard to find Panthers name. He looks like a Kick boxer or a fighter like Elena from street fighter.
ABRAFO: African Ghanaian name meaning "warrior" or "executioner." Originally, it was a byname for a troublemaker or someone who is hyper.
CHACHA: African name meaning Strong

Sorry for the lack of activity these days, guys. I was busy trying to finish Touch and Tease 2 to raise fund for Kemo Coliseum. I'll make sure to check every name here later and post about what we like in one of our weekly report :)
Volga for Husky sounds good to me though. I'll see what others have to say!
The baby boy name Volga is pronounced as VAALGah †. Volga has its origins in the Russian language. The name is of the meaning 'from the river'.
Hmmmm reminds me of Volg though.

Hey, Wanfang, you didn't add my idea names for the rabbit on your list X3
Whoops sorry Let me re check and add
Ah! No, just B or V X3
The name suggestions are really creative. Personally, I like names that are short and roll off the tongue easily. Names like Woyzeck, Nylathak, and Vladislav are good names, but will sound awkward when I say things like "Argh, Woyzeck is so hard to beat" etc.
Hmm my vote...
Bear: Yep Tharsix, Reiga really made it grow on me. It's original and true to the character.
Husky: I like Vlad, Magnus, Ivan, or Neil. He seems to be the quiet and tough type of guy.
Cat: I like Bart. Since he's a prince on the run. His full name would be Bartholomew, but then he shortens it. It also sounds like a name for a spoiled, troublemaking person. I like Cyrus too.
Lion: Khan or Zarek, any intimidating name actually. He seems like a character that would be a big obstacle for the pc. There should be a sort of dread to facing him.
Fox: I like Salvatore, Viktor or Jacques. His character looks like an odd ball that's quirky and lives for the sake of experimenting (wink wink).
Panther: Savanti or Barbas. Wild guy needs a wild name.
Bull: Taurik , He doesn't seem like a bright character. haha.
Rabbit: Mammon or Cronus. dark character.
Eagle: I like Qwan, Enzo, or Zuul. Another Stoic character.
Tanuki: I laughed at almond, but we need a japanese name. So how about a japanese nut instead. Like Gingko
i think i have a good name for the husky, it says he's from the northen lands, so how about a swedish name?
Carl-Johan, it meens brave hero and have the heart at the right place.
Really nice characters and idea for a game, im going to get it when it comes out ^^
@ Jayger
Husky
Vlad sounds good. :)
Vladislav or Vladimir is the full name
GENDER: Masculine
VLADISLAV
the meaning of Vladislav is "glorious rule"
hmmm this one almost fit for lion though. The husky lost his village and he's taking care of his people.
Vladimir
Means "to rule with greatness", derived from the Slavic element volod "rule" combined with mer "great, famous". The second element has also been associated with mir meaning "peace" or "world"
Magnus
Meaning: Great
Ivan
Meaning: God is Gracious
Neil
meaning of Neil is "champion"
Cat
Bart.... Now reminds me of the other desert prince from Xenogears :) Sound good too to describe also. Now I can't decide which one Cyrus or Bart. They're both Dessert prince name.
the meaning of Bartholomew is "son of Talmai (the farmer)". I thought mew might be good for cat mewing sounds.
Lion
Hmmm sounds like Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat though.
Khan
the Turkish khan meaning "chief or ruler."
Zarek
meaning : May God protect the King
Fox
Some does not fit though. :o Like he's a champ or somthing.
Salvatore
the meaning of Salvatore is "savior"
Viktor
the meaning of Viktor is "champion"
Jacques
I cannot find the meaning.
Panther
Savanti is a girls name in search. :o Barbas is a a tropical American timber tree (Vitex longeracemosa) with yellowish brown lustrous wood —called also jocote de mico. Name of a tree dance would fit. ::)
Bull
what does Taurik means? Sounds like Tauren though.
Rabbit
Mammon is a name of the food here :9 very delicious. Cronus almost sounds like Chronos it means time and crow. There's another name but almost sound like Cronus. I forgot the name.
Eagle
Enzo
the meaning of Enzo is "home ruler"
Qwan
means strong
Tanuki
What does Gingko means?
@Flopp
I wonder if we can put two names at once. ^^; sounds nice though.
husky-I always recommand vladislav but he is vagabond..umm so i thinking another name, but we may consent russian name right?
(and start from 'v' we recommended volga vladislav.. )
bear-tharsix almost definited
cat-how about tarik(warrior) thabit(strong),
panther-kafeel(Protector)
fox-italian name? bartolomeo, salvatore(already recommended) lothar
I haven't been able to think or post about much here recently since I've had to work on applications for school, but I have a few thoughts.
Thoughts
Husky: One of my concerns over 'Vlad,' 'Vladislav,' or 'Vladimir' is the fact that I immediately think of the vampire champion Vladimir from League of Legends. I know some people don't play LoL, but a lot of people do, and they may think of this too. Also, I don't think the meaning fits that well.
Cat: I like the name Bartholomew, though he was born a prince, so it would seem unlikely his given name would mean 'son of a farmer.' Though since he's on the run, maybe he'd adopt a name that's more befitting of a common man. However, Bart reminds me of Bart Simpson, a cartoon character well known around the world. I would prefer Barthol or even Tholomew as the shortened version of the name.
Panther: Kafeel appears to be Arabic in origin. Interesting. I don't really have much more to say on it, though. Barbas reminds me of 'barbarous,' like a barbarian. Some may view that as commentary on his heritage (Native American? Aztec? Inca? Something?), which would not be good.
Fox: I still don't like Salvatore due to its origin. It only fits if we force the fox's backstory to fit. Viktor is a somewhat mundane name, and there is also a LoL champion with the same name.
Suggestion
Rabbit: I still can't help but pay attention to the light and dark theme this guy has, as well as the scale he is holding. So I was thinking something like Lucatrum or Lucater, which mean 'light and dark' in Latin. It can also be shortened to Luc. Also, why does this guy have a crown?
Luc reminds me from suikoden game. He's also an apprentice and he does do judgement and got a very strong magic.
BTW the panther. You can see him drooling in his pic. :-\ I wonder why he drool. It's not like he's drooling on his weapon. Maybe drooling how his opponent be naked. ^^; He's a wild fighter alright.
umm... most of crazy characters have a bad memory.
..i think panther may have a such memory. :-\
@Choi Chi Heon
do they really drool when lost memory? ???
seen some when brain dead after exams.
now makes me think how would heroes bonding with the bosses.
Hmmm Husky/(Prince Cyrus) Cat/ (Tharsix) Bear pair with (on of the bosses)
If Husky X (Tharsix) Bear. Husky won and got Tharsix's freedom and Tharsix lives with the survivors with Husky.
If Husky X (Prince Cyrus) Cat. Prince. Cyrus might make a Kingdom and Husky's people will come in live in kingdom.
If (Prince Cyrus) Cat X (Tharsix) Bear. The Prince brought the slaves and work in his new kingdom.
i think husky X cat catch my fancy.
(if cat become intimate with husky), cat was the prince of kingdom . he may possibly get husky's children live kingdom. : :(

I've never even heard of that game before. Is it popular? I know mainstream in the US isn't the same as mainstream elsewhere. I guess if you are afraid of people thinking of Luc from Suikoden then we don't have to shorten the name.
Anyways, this is the name suggestion thread. Let's at least try to stay on topic. Talking about what we want to see in relationships can maybe go in its own thread or in the general discussion thread, instead of being buried here.
Also, Wanfang, are you not going to add my suggestions to the list on the front page? They can't be THAT bad, right?
Coming to a consensus on names seems like it will be difficult. The only one we've reached consensus on is Tharsix for the bear...still nine more to go....
sorry I thought some are repetition. ok adjusted.
Hope for a kemono armor break. ;D

sorry about my long silent..I had the final exam.
then take up the main subject.
-------------------
we have discussed naming long time.
we have suggested many great names. but there are few fruit. (tharsix-36)
we tend to fit character's name with their background. and i think we have to fit names with background?
(ex- vladislav. husky is vagabond so vladislav is not be suitable.)

Still hard. We only got few character description. :( The Husky warrior, Cat prince, and Bear Slave got their story. The ending of the characters is up to them though.
Thank you so much to everyone who contribute! It really really helps. We have spent time and look through all the names and everything and here are the names we are going with :)
| Husky | Volga |
| Cat | Cyrus |
| Bear | Tharsix |
| Tanuki | Aoba |
| Bull | Darius |
| Eagle | Aquilo |
| Fox | Lambert |
| Panther | Kakula |
| Lion | Maximus |
| Rabbit | Cronus |
Congrats to our new name characters ^^
Wow Aguilo. almost sound familiar to Aguila spanish word for eagle.
It's Aquilo btw. ^^; Not "G" it's "Q"
What does Aoba mean? :)
Maximus and Cronus, huh?
Sounds a bit generic but doable :3
I like the name choices.
Regardless, its the story that build the names.
Michael the Olympic swimmer is completely different then Michael that works at a hardware store. :)
I'm looking forward to what you guys cook up.
Let's imagine this is how Maximus gets ready before the battle or resting after the battle. ::)

Congrats on your choices. So that's where Aoba went. ^^ I wasn't able to put it in the list.
I wish I would have discovered this site/game sooner! The husky, Volga as he's now called, has one of my favorite, if not my favorite, designs ever. I would have loved to chip in name suggestions. I think Repus would be perfect (its just a simple name I came up with long ago, it's "super" backwards).
