wHERE DID EVERYONE gO

He went through the trouble of looking for the name "Pyrrha", but he made her last name the Greek equivalent of Nick. I would really like to see the reasoning behind that, Monty. :I
Taken from Nike, Greek goddess of victory. It also means "victor of people". Pyrrha is derived from the Greek adjective pyrrhos, meaning "flame-coloured". Her full name means "Pyrrhic victory", a victory with a rather large cost. She is also based off of Achilles, who disguised himself as a red haired girl named Pyrrha to avoid fighting in the Trojan War.

That definitely sounds better than "Pyyrha Nick" :p

The theme song from RWBY keeps being stuck in my head xD

Get a different song stuck in your head, then.

You’re not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood.
You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would.
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn’t matter how,
The petals scatter now.
Every nightmare just discloses
It’s your blood that’s red like roses,
And no matter what I do,
Nothing ever takes the place of you.

Well know it makes sense. I knew what Pyrrha means, but I could see nothing but Nick when I saw Nikos. But that explanation is a lot better, so I'll go with it XD

I have a pair that are... 10 months old? They're in pretty bad shape at this point.
