English character names

[Shiny Noctowl]

Guess the English names for the human characters in Black/White!

My guesses:
Prof. Araragi - Prof. Willow (sounds better than Prof. Yew)
Makomo - ?
Cheren - Charlie or Jared (both sound sort of like Cheren)
Beru - Belle/Bella
N - N

I think the professor will keep her Japanese name. I like the way it sounds, and I dunno, it just feels feminine to me and thus is appropriate.

 

[Der_Neuevenmenschen]

Araragi will be called Prof. Orchid.
Makomo will be called Cheren's Mom.
Beru will be called Bella
Cheren will be called Charlie (I still think it's a s/he)
N will be called Atlas (Bioshock ref!)

Last names needn't sound feminine, even for females. The only thing necessary is that it be some sort of tree, preferably a rather well known kind of tree.

Bella will work, and N could stick. Dunno about the others though. Actually, Professor Willow sounds fine.

 

[Der_Neuevenmenschen]

If the whole "Prof. is mom" thing is true, wouldn't that make the player [insert name here] Aragi?

Sounds good.

 

[Zekurom]

Araragi will be called Prof. Orchid.

The real Prof. Orchid would like to have a talk with you...

If they use Maple, I am going to kill myself. <_<

Wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Ivysaur]

The real Prof. Orchid would like to have a talk with you...

It's his Japanese name, so why does it matter?

If they use Maple, I am going to kill myself. <_<

What's wrong with Maple?

 

[brickwork]

Everything is wrong with Maple.

 

[Suicide by cop]

Araragi will be called Prof. Orchid.

Sounds good.

Makomo will be called Cheren's Mom.

Yep

Beru will be called Bella

Twilight reference ftl. It does sound nice, but it will forever remind me of Bella Swan.

Cheren will be called Charlie (I still think it's a s/he)

Also in Twilight, Charlie Swan. And it's just an ugly name in general.

N will be called Atlas (Bioshock ref!)

No. Not ever.

 

[Trueblade]

^ Just because a shitty character had that name doesn't mean the name is bad. Either way, I think it will be Belle or Bell, not Bella.

 

[Zekurom]

Wouldn't be the first time.

Wouldn't be the first time somebody's suggested an already-taken name, either. Remember Hihidaruma = Infernape?

The thing that's wrong with Maple is that it's been used by me in a fanfic. As a male character.

 

[GloomyDayze]

Prof. Araragi- Prof. Yew
Makomo- Idk...
Beru- Belle, Bella is overrated. And if they name her Bella, Cheren better not be Charlie.
Or the rival Edward *shivers in disgust*
N... Maybe something like Nathan?

 

[Graith]

Professor Araragi—Professor Yew

Daughter:Beru—Belle—Named by player​

Makomo—Ms. Rice? In english, it's used as a name for stems of wild rice.

Son:Cheren—Charlie—Named by player​

Last names needn't sound feminine, even for females. The only thing necessary is that it be some sort of tree, preferably a rather well known kind of tree.

I know that names to not need to sound masculine or feminine. I merely stated that the reason that I would like it to stay the same as the Japanese name is because I, as me personally no one else, think it sounds feminine and that has an appeal to me.

Here's my next guess for names.
Cheren could be, against the general boring majority's Charlie, called Chester. Will this happen? Probably not.

 

[Chronos]

Prof. Araragi - Prof. Yew
Makomo - Melinda
Cheren - Christian
Belle - Belle
N - N

I have no doubt in my mind that we're going to get some kind of tree/plant for the Prof.'s name. I'm not really sure about all the others though... I'm wondering if "N" is just his codename for some reason.:-/

 

[GloomyDayze]

I thought 'N' was just a placement, like how 'Z' was used to replace Zoroark for a while?

 

[Somari]

I thought 'N' was just a placement, like how 'Z' was used to replace Zoroark for a while?

It seems like a code, or nick, name and that's what he goes by.

 

[WallflowerCanyon]

Or maybe the "N" stands for Nintendo.:naughty:
