Versus Protagonist Name Thread

[Pulse]

This thread is to list all the possibilities that could be for the name of the male protagonist in Final Fantasy Versus XIII. If you suggest a name, please use an online translator to translate the word into latin, this is just because I believe his name may be latin, but still to do with weather. As the theme for the compilation so far is latin-esque.

Nomura has confirmed in a recent interview with Famitsu, that the characters name is to do with Latin, please ONLY POST NAMES TO DO WITH WEATHER!

When you post the name suggestion, try to post the meaning of the word as well.

Some suggestions..............

----------------------------

Cirrus - Thin, wispy clouds that form high in the atmosphere as their water vapor freezes into ice crystals. Cirrus clouds are a principle cloud type.

The translation for Cirrus in latin is - ( No translation )

----------------------------

Cyclone - A low pressure system. It is a term variously applied to tornadoes, waterspouts, dust storms, hurricanes and even to any strong wind.

The translation for Cyclone in latin is - ( circuitous )

----------------------------

Frost - White ice crystals that form on a surface, like the ground or leaves of a plant. Frost is created when the air temperature drops below freezing and the water vapor in the air freezes into ice crystals.

The translation for Frost in latin is - ( gelu )

----------------------------

Haze - Tiny particles of dust, smoke, salt or pollution droplets that are scattered through the air. The particles are too small to be seen or felt individually, but they diminish visibility.

The translation for Haze in latin is - ( no translation )

----------------------------

Ridge - It’s an elongated area of high pressure.

The translations for ridge in latin are - ( promontorium, jugum, iugum )

----------------------------

Shear - It’s just a variation in the wind speed and/or direction over a short distance.

The translations for shear in latin are - ( tondeo, totonsi, tonsum, totondi )

----------------------------

Storm - Any disturbed state of the atmosphere that creates unpleasant weather like rain, lightning, thunder, hail, snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

The translations for storm in latin are - ( tempestas, procella, oppugno )

----------------------------

I personally like cirrus for some reason..... any other thoughts people???

Nickel on Caelum, Nickel and two pennies on Storm. XD

Interviewer suggested that the name might be related to "weather" or "the skies" and Nomura responded that it would be a "weather" name without addings "skies."

[Anima]

Maybe he forgot to mention skies..... >>

----I thought Storm was just a speculation gone wrong that Kitmitsu made? =O It seems to define only his fighting style if so.

[TEA TOWEL HOLDER]

Storm is just randomly made up by fangirls. That is a bloody terrible name and it'd better not be anything like that.

[Naunen]

----Fangirls are weird. <_< Poor objects of fanhood.... They suffer at the hands of the so-called "fan" girls.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Storm is just randomly made up by fangirls. That is a bloody terrible name and it'd better not be anything like that.
I don't know where you got that impression from, Storm being a randomly conceived by "fangirls". If it's a joke then forget the rest of this post. xD;

In a couple of other sites, specifically the french ones I've visited, Storm does seem to be the speculated name. (I think) this conception is linked to his "gloomy" looking character, which everyone (including myself) at the time thought that was how he was going to be. But uh, yeah, what with the revelations Nomura made now, we can basically shit on that suggestion.

[Zen]

I hope they don't name him storm. Storm is a very horrible name to give him. Storm is the name from the girl in X-men.. ._. I want him named something awesome and cool. Like from the other Final Fantasy's. Examples:Cecil, Kain, Cloud, Sephiroth, Squall, Zell, Locke, and Seifer. Those are comendable names (I may have not caught them all) Still.

[Fantasygurl1227]

I think his name will be tornado...or snowflake...:aldo:
Seriously though... whatever they go with, better not be totally retarded.
And they better not ruin his clothes completely too, and I seriously hope they don't mess with his hair, it looks fine the way it is.... :)

[Zen]

LOL snowflake XDXD That would be an funny name to name him XDXD

[Fantasygurl1227]

Yes, yes it would.... XD
*huggles prince* you might want to brace yourself Mr. no name, cause you my friend are about to undergo graphic and visual changes.... which sounds painful..... and might look painfully ugly....

[Zen]

I think I would die of laughter before I died of shock that they would name him that.

[Fantasygurl1227]

Flurry or Hurricane, or Typhoon, or Haze, or Blizzard, or Hail (yeah that would be ironic, hail he prince muahahha ) O my thoughts are racing XD

[Zen]

lol calm down there.

[Fantasygurl1227]

I think my head might explode soon, square-enix tends to do that to me..... especially Tutsuya Nomura with his interviews that answer a few of your questions but give you a thousand more while reading it.

[Zen]

well he is all confusing all @_@ he need to make his snetenc more clearer.

[jenny_kumiko]

there woule be more awesome name....LMAO

[Final]

DAMN YOU TETSUYA NOMURA AND ALL YOUR SECRETS!!!!!!!!!!!! ''caugh'' ''caugh''

[Fantasygurl1227]

but what i don't understand is....why does the name have to be kept a secret so long if it has no impact on the actual story.... its just a name... why do we have to wait so long to know it :blink:

[Naunen]

Will we list reasons too, Pulse?

[epsilon]

I think Cirrus is a good name.

Some other name that i think is interesting for him will be

Equinox - The time when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator occurring about March 21 and September 22.

Frost - A covering of ice produced by deposition (sublimation) on exposed surfaces when the air temperature falls below the frost point (the dew point is below freezing).

Rain - Precipitation in the form of liquid water drops that have diameters greater than that of drizzle.

Stratus - A low, gray cloud layer with a rather uniform base whose precipitation is most commonly drizzle.

Taiga - The northern coniferous forest; also a name applied to the subarctic climate.

[Ultima Star]

I really want it to be Storm :aldo: however I also would like Stratus lol I know..weird taste x]

[Interficio Nocte]

I really want it to be Storm :aldo: however I also would like Stratus lol I know..weird taste x]

I like Storm too. D;

[Cilvia]

Rain is female name, i guess.
Storm is too primitive
Frost is too describing name, i dont think that he won't smile at all.
taiga- roflrfolroflr

[Vidya]

His name is Yellow Snow, dammit.
It's actually a weather term.
*is shot*

[Sidderz]

Equinox would be cool for something in the game but not nessicarily the Prince.

[Fantasygurl1227]

I don't really care what his name is at this point, as long as it isn't feminine or retarded....
(Terra from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, took me months to get used to)

[Naunen]

Rain is female name, i guess.
Storm is too primitive
Frost is too describing name, i dont think that he won't smile at all.
taiga- roflrfolroflr

----Rain sounds too female to you. 'sides, Raine already claimed that.

[Terros]

Storm has grown on me as well.

[Purple]

Storm? Well it reminds me of X-Men Storm.

Stratus? Hmmm, not too shabby. :)

[Thimien]

crap the ones that have been said, i was thinking lol

Il say Thunder lol since she is Lightning lol

[Terros]

Considering they follow the same myth "Thunder" is not out of the question, though it doesn't have as nice a ring to it.

[Allen Walker]

Juggernaut

[TEA TOWEL HOLDER]

Juggernaut
Seriously?

[Naunen]

I personally think that Storm has something not nice about it either.

[Devious]

Mmmm, Cirrus and Stratus are good. I'd lol if his name was Cumulus.

[BlankChocobo]

Mmmm, Cirrus and Stratus are good. I'd lol if his name was Cumulus.

I think I'd laugh if he was named after any kind of cloud. The Cloud copy jokes would never end, either. :lol:

I feel like SE is running low on viable weather names. For now, Storm seems like the most likely to me. ._.;

[TEA TOWEL HOLDER]

But it's the name of that woman off X-Men. :'(

[BlankChocobo]

But it's the name of that woman off X-Men. :'(

Yeah. ._.; Everything else sounds even sillier or weirder to me though... I guess if they used a weather word from another language, they could avoid the silly-sounding name problem ~_~; That's the most hopeful to me.

I guess Lightning is okay with me because it's a "codename." Storm as a real name just seems not so much... "real." >_>;

[Naunen]

I can't think up any names that'd sound good. ; ;

[Maiya Saiyado]

Well, maybe they could like choose a name that sort of describes a type of weather. It's hard to explain. Like Cumulus or Stratus clouds, I probably totally misspelled those two words. I could see Stratus as a name for him or they could changed it a little to Stratos or something. I'm not sure, but they could choose a variety of names depending on how much they want to do have it connect with weather.

[Naunen]

Hopefully it's not a name that'll make Nomura wanna hurl. =O He was surprised about Lightning.

[Thimien]

i dont think its gona be Storm, to obvious.

They gona come up with some Japanese name, and make it short and sweet.

Like in KHs, his name is Ventos, they call him Ven.

Storm is like yeah, feels like a womans name.

[S-r-ex]

Cumulus, Stratocumulus Perlucidus, Cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz Colombia, Noctilucent,
Nacreous, Pileus, Stratosphere, Atmosphere, Troposphere...Thermometer, Barometer, Meteorology, Forecast...

I'd go for Cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz Colombia :dance:

Nacreous makes me think of a dinosaur...

Nacreous sounds shmexeh for the guy. :|

[Devious]

What about Atmo or Atmos as in atmosphere?

[Anima]

I think Hail would sound pretty good. .___.

[Anouk]

What about 'solstice', 'aphelion' (= the point on the earth's orbit that is farthest from the sun), or 'aurora' (= is created by the radiant energy emission from the sun and its interaction with the earth's upper atmosphere)? :)

[Amleya]

o.O I think that'd be weird to see... >.> Most likely it'll mean sky or heavens though.

[Anouk]

I came across another one that could be interesting: Calm.
It's that part of the atmosphere where there's no wind or air motion. I think it might reflect his character a bit (as we have seen of him in the trailers so far). :)

But, Aphelion sound more royal to me.

Prince Calm.... o.O; You know, there seems to be nothing more advanced than Lightning, Cloud, Squall or Tidus (means sunshine in Okinawan)... You really think his name might be Aphelion?? I'm not sure about calm... I like the sound of a name meaning sky or heaven....

[Cilvia]

i like Atmos, good idea

[S-r-ex]

Sorry, Aphelion is the Knight Rider-ship In Ratchet & Clank Future.

Aurora is a girls name, for fucks sake :lol:

[Anouk]

:P Sorry! I didn't know about that!

And I think I'd have to agree with you on Aurora (I still very much like the meaning of the word though!), it indeed sounds a bit like Rory.... ^_^ But maybe they could use a translation!
*hoping*

[Final]

HAIL!!!! HERE COMES HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE AURORA!!! :P

[Vidya]

:| I'm still hoping it's Caelum. Prince Caelum has a nice ring to it.... Even if it's possible that it's something else...
I think Caelum sounds more like the name for a country at this point. >>
[I wanted to name my guild on a MMORPG I play Caelum, actually, but one of my friends didn't like it. ._.;]
Caelum would be cool, though.

[Shadow Clone]

ill be blunt, i hate these weather names. they need somthing new which i think the might do.

[Allen Walker]

i like Atmos, good idea

Sounds too much like Atomos...

[BlankChocobo]

ill be blunt, i hate these weather names. they need somthing new which i think the might do.

Unless Nomura = actual liez, this is unfortunately not possible ._.;

I agree with Amleya that the names we're coming up with are a lot more complicated than the ones they've used in the past, but if Nomura is going for a "real" feel and doesn't particularly want to continue the tradition of weather names, maybe he would want to use a name that's not obviously a weather phenomenon at first glance? They certainly sound more real than Storm or Thunder as a person's name, even if they're not actually used as people's names in the real world. Although things like Aphelion maybe don't seem contemporary enough to me to fit with the "modern world" part... ._.;

[Exire]

Well hopefully not too real and name him Prince Tom. Hehe, I kind of liked Shear and Ridge. He has an edgy look, they're edgy names. But if the XIII protagonist is Lightning, I think calling the Prince, Storm would be cutting a few too many corners. I'm not too worried about the names really. They've always managed to pick a name that fits with the character. With how Cloud or Squall looks, I can't imagine them being called anything else. Just like how I think Lightning fits...Lightning's look. Hopefully that makes some sense to someone.

[Pulse]

Just like how I think Lightning fits...Lightning's look. Hopefully that makes some sense to someone.

Lightning is merely a codename, maybe they are going to hopefully step away from the weather names soon, its getting kind of lame. Maybe they'll just give them last names to do with weather lol. I hope since lightning is a codename, that she actually receives a name that befits her character properly, from what we've seen in the trailers and as you have said ''lightning fits lightning'' but what would fit her real name? I can imagine it being something clinical, clean and neat. << Clearly all meaning the same thing but you get the picture. lol

Josh x

[Cilvia]

i thought today well had new info- nhow i have no idea when it will come up- they promised soon ffs :(

[Vidya]

I'm still fond of Prince Yellow Snow.

But, anyways, with weather terms~ It'll probably be something like some weather term in a foreign language.

[Anouk]

Foreign eh? That would be "Prince Gele Sneeuw" then, translating your personal favourite. :) LOL

[pupucachi]

Call him Neo (Matrix fan lol)!

[Terros]

Call him Neo (Matrix fan lol)!
Sorry, but that's not weather related...besides you don't want square getting sued for copyright infringment!!? O.o

[pupucachi]

^^ Just kidding! Hope they'll give him a nice name :D
He will have a Japanese name right?

[Naunen]

I don't think Neo would be copyright infringement. :|

[pupucachi]

...It's just a joke... hic x.x

[Zen]

They could name him Frost?

[BluNote]

i'd go with storm :) sounds pretty powerful

[Vanisher]

hmm , now thinking , where do the "storm" name rumour cames from?

[estella]

i'd go with storm :) sounds pretty powerful

I dont really LIKE the name Storm, but you're right it does sound powerful :wub:

Besides, Nomura has already confirmed that his name will be 'weather-related'

[Terros]

Exactly, and I think Storm sound the best out of all the names that have been provided so far, this is just my opinion. Perhaps we'll get a better idea of his name when we see his final design.

[BlankChocobo]

^^ Just kidding! Hope they'll give him a nice name :D
He will have a Japanese name right?

I don't think he will have a Japanese name. I don't think there have been any main FF characters with Japanese names. O.o Sora, Riku and Kairi are Japanese names, but they're from KH. @_@ Nomura did say he wanted FF to be influenced by KH too, though~

[Naunen]

hmm , now thinking , where do the "storm" name rumour cames from?

----No idea. Kitmitsu did regret making a thread about that. http://finalfantasyversusxiii.net/forums/showthread.php?t=543 Because the lurkers took it as fact without reading the thread.

[AT23]

Tempest...

[The Chocobo Sage]

It's gotta be Dave.

[pupucachi]

Nomura makes me mad! Does he like English name more than Japanese name? Especially "weather" name XD
We have many names that relate to the weather: Wind, Storm, Thunder, Rain, Tornado, Gale, Tempest , Ice...
Hehe, maybe he will have a "planet" name... For example: Uranus XD

[BlankChocobo]

Hehe, maybe he will have a "planet" name... For example: Uranus XD

This would make such ridiculous jokes. XD I can't think of any planet name that would sound good to me, but maybe a moon name or a star name might be interesting. That could even fit under the "skies" category, if that one hasn't actually been ruled out. ^____^

[Zen]

Well name him some american name LOL would be a change.

[Purple]

I'd say they name him Michael or Chuck! :D

Kidding aside, Storm? Errmm...reminds of X-Men Storm so I'm not so crazy about it.

When will they release his name I wonder????

[Terros]

When we're old and decrepid.

[OmiVersusXIV]

I'd name him Haze,Rain,Thunder,Twister,Storm,or Cyclone

[SirBaron]

Stratus. Prince Stratus.

I could actually live with Stratus.

[Thimien]

wouldnt it be very gay if they called him Daylight.. i think it would. Best be prepered i wander how many different weather names they can come up with lol

[Amleya]

What if it's Tempest?!! http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f345/Kamoohiyazada/Ohnoes.gif <--- (Nau's replacement =O face) The time for more info is nigh at hand!!! I'm still thinking it could mean sky... We haven't had one yet... Even tho there was a Celes in FF6... but that's heaven... *rambles*

[SirBaron]

Prince Tempest... i dunno. Tempest would do really good as a surname... i would also prefer Stratus as a surname, but if necessary i can accept it as a first name.

Hmm... Prince Stratus Tempest?

[Amleya]

Prince Tempest... i dunno. Tempest would do really good as a surname... i would also prefer Stratus as a surname, but if necessary i can accept it as a first name.

Hmm... Prince Stratus Tempest?

For some reason, I ROFLed. O_O I actually hope Tempest won't be his name.

[SirBaron]

I heard it might be Vulcan because of his red eyes or something. Kinda don't like it, it reeks of Spock.

[DuelHound07]

how about Tempest? a violent storm.

[pupucachi]

Hehehe... if we keep going on like this, in the future, our Prince will be a "weather forecast" boy :))

[vamira2.1]

Strom is an okay name but I prefer a more well suited name that doesn't seem to ridiculos, and isn't Strom a fangirl name someone up?

[Terros]

It was a rumor that his name was that, as for where it came from no one knows.

[Naunen]

It was a rumor that his name was that, as for where it came from no one knows.

----http://finalfantasyversusxiii.net/forums/showthread.php?t=543 Maybe crazy fans who try to start something.

Maybe. I wish Nomura would come out with it already! I wonder if he's even decided...

[OmiVersusXIV]

Maybe. I wish Nomura would come out with it already! I wonder if he's even decided...

He has but i guess they want to release it along with other info as well.

[Terros]

They said his name will be released with the next trailer...I think.

[OmiVersusXIV]

They said his name will be released with the next trailer...I think.

No, Nomura said that the next time they give us any new news it will include his name as well. It would be cool if they give us the name with a new trailer

[Flames Of Oblivion]

I have to say I like Storm alot.

[XwingsofaresX]

i just like to say storm is living up to the character, but i think theyll take a different name.^_^

[Élan]

I heard it might be Vulcan because of his red eyes or something. Kinda don't like it, it reeks of Spock.

I heard something about Vulcan, too! I'm not sure where though...

[OmiVersusXIV]

i just like to say storm is living up to the character, but i think theyll take a different name.^_^

I have to say I like Storm alot.

Well at first I was going for Storm but after seeing the trailers in slow motion, I noticed that when he teleports it looks like a tornado or cyclone, so something thatr has to do with wind.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

I heard something about Vulcan, too! I'm not sure where though...
Ung, it has to be speculation. Vulcan is such a bastard ugly name.

[sasdx]

Ung, it has to be speculation. Vulcan is such a bastard ugly name.How about Virgo?

[Élan]

How about Virgo?

This is random, but I'm a Virgo!! The name could work though... It all depends on what he's like.

[IBeatSephiroth]

I think it could possibly be Caelum. The name seems to be on his car's number plate.

[Whiplash]

I hope it isn't Caelum; I'd spend the whole game thinking about herbivore digestive systems.

[Naunen]

I hope it isn't Caelum; I'd spend the whole game thinking about herbivore digestive systems.

----Then we can call him Cael.

[Whiplash]

In that case I'll be thinking of Dragon Ball Z the whole game, even worse than digestive tracks.

[Fantasygurl1227]

i just hope that square will give us the damn name soon..... i was expecting to hear it in March, but seeing that its now April 10th i have no idea when square-enix will stop hogging all the good stuff XD

[squrenixrulz2011]

he should be named gideon. it means destroyer of worlds and the guy from FFVXIII is a beast. he destroys everything in his path.

[Kitmitsu]

he should be named gideon. it means destroyer of worlds and the guy from FFVXIII is a beast. he destroys everything in his path.

That name would be even more annoying than yours.

[Oji]

I can't see myself calling him "Gideon", lol...it'd be pretty strange though it's not gonna be him name at all. If his name has something to do with weather it'll be certainly some kind of "darky" weather type as shown in the trailers.

Storm is good though.

[Whiplash]

That name would be even more annoying than yours.

The slash fanfiction writers would have a lot of fun with 'Giddy up'.

[Thimien]

im actualy curious to know what his name is gona be, probably something normal like thunder or even more crap like rain lol

[elephant_lost]

Falling Water
:cookie:

[Oji]

I think it could possibly be Caelum. The name seems to be on his car's number plate.

It's very very plausible all because Caelum is a south hemisphere constellation, the original name is in latin "Caela Sculptoris" which means sculptor's chisel, it's also known as "Cae" and it fits almost perfectly in the main theme since it's in latin as well, and latin was spoken by the people in Italy long ago.

[Cilvia]

Storm is too primitive : /

[Oji]

Storm is too primitive : /

I don't think so >___<' it can fit, it just sounds odd...but, if ya think Storm is a primitive name don't ya think Lightning is primitive as well? since they're all name related...

Caelum seems strange but it fits...!

[Cilvia]

Well, i dont know any character named Lightning.
Storm is used by millions of- X men, for example :)

[amitola]

Actually, I like the name-"storm" most.~ Although this name is used by the others' characters, this sounds great and it is just my feeling.
But I do hope that his name will be just like the power of storm so strong enough to protect the crystal and defend the city.

I think that the best names that have been mentioned for the protagonist is probably Storm, on account of him fighting attacks and the whole multiple swords around him like a storm.

[IBeatSephiroth]

I do like the name Storm, but the name Caelum both fits him and there's a high probability of that being his name. Then again, Wyatt is a good name, too. How does 'Caelum' remind you of herbivores, Whip? With the prounciation KAY-lum it doesn't remind me of stomachs? :lol:

[Naunen]

Seeing as it's Latin, it's pronounced "KY-luh-m."

[Darling Heartilly]

I heard somewhere that it's "Carrot". Lol. You have to admit, there's something endearing about it.

I like Caelum, it makes the most sense and doesn't sound annoyingly cheesy. But I have feeling it's probably going to be something we have no chance of guessing right, though. I mean, look at Tidus; Okinawan for "sun". Did anyone guess that before his name came out?

P.s. Virgo = The Virgin... Why not?

lololol, gotta love Carrot! seems...hmm, tasty and...orange! :P

We'll know his name soon, since Square-Enix will be attending E3 2008 this year ;D! Finally info blowout! I guess...of course.

Carrot is just taking the piss.end of.

I wouldnt want to speculate that his name was caelum.We may have certain individuals in reality place their name on their licence plate but is the prince really that high profile?

[Oji]

I see, Caelum could be his country name as well. And, about him being a high-profile person, he must be he's a prince at the beginning but he's about to become a king, of course it's what Famitsu scans tells us, so it kinda left us in a "dilema", imo.

[TEA TOWEL HOLDER]

If that does actually say Caelum it's more likely a country name or something, like you said Oji. People do have really gay things on their number plates like initials and their name with 1337 in though, so maybe... but I dunno, probably not. :aldo:

Your right in the high profile sense.But I meant high profile as in along the lines of flaunting the fact that he is a prince by substituting his name into a licence plate.IDK if I made sense?

[Oji]

I think I got your point up, but I guess it's undoubtely that he's prince since Nomura told us so, and I just can't imagine HUGE Jap magazines like PS3 Famitsu, Dengeki Playstation, V-jump making false assumptions, it's been told that "Caelum" (let's say it's the protagonists name to make things simple.) is in fact a Prince. And about the flaunting thing as for me, I see all this as a puzzle, we find little pieces and see if it fits, if it actually does we make such an assumption like his name being Caelum because we have a "base"to tell this.

Well, as I suggested above "Caelum" also fits for a Country name since it's been inspired in the italy-european design (see...a puzzle :P) and we also know that Caelum is a latin word which match with the "latin theme" and italian since, Latin was spoken in the Roman Kingdom long ago.

It was just an example...I don't think if I made things clear...but I think have info enough to mmake some guesses ^^!

[Naunen]

You know... we don't even know if it actually is "Caelum" on the license plate. It just looks so much like so and people only agree with whoever certainly seems sure of the text saying so because it feels stupid to most people to further speculate.

[Oji]

If you pause the extended trailer around "00:15~00:17" timeframe you'll notice pretty clearly that the plate says "Caelum" and if you're just not convinced enough, look at the pag. 34 in the Famitsu Magazine(Feb. 2008), you'll see a picture, and this picture has a zoomed look at the plate, and it says "Caelum"...so i'm only making an assumption, it could be his name or his country name as well, I'm not sure of it, it's just a guess, and it's good to speculate sometimes with the information we've been given...and it's not stupid, imo, it's certainly not.

[Strifer]

You know Sky in The Jet Li movie Hero? It is a really cool name.

----Even so, there are still chances that it won't stay as "Caelum" as time wears on. Of course, I'm going for the fact that it does say "Caelum" since Pulse suggested we look at the license plate (months back), BlankChocobo put out a a list on what it possibly said, and I observed to pretty much confirm it and looked up the word in a print Latin dictionary: "Sky, heavens, the highest point." But then, I'm not deeply rooted to the word/name because it could change. If no one ever mentioned a Caelum, you'd notice that no one else would be thinking about it here.

[Kajika-kun]

What if his name is 'Turbo'?

[Kitmitsu]

What if his name is 'Turbo'?

Then all hope is lost.

[Naunen]

This is getting ridiculous. All the name-throwing with no reasons behind them, or the "what if..." as opposed to "It should be..." with explanations. Not that it's a name suggestion thread but it's almost as if we're back to square one and just not thinking a little harder than random.

[Kajika-kun]

Suggestions with meanings:

1) Turbo: Means whirling motion, whirlwind, onis, whirlpool, to disturb, upset, throw into disorder, confuse, unsettle, to agitate, hurricane, tornado in latin.

Although it sounds quite lame, it matches the protagonist's battle style.

2) Pluvia: Means rain or shower in latin.


About Caelum, maybe it is not the protagonist's name but his family's name (like the yakuza).

[elephant_lost]

Maybe SE hasnt even thought of a name for him yet themselves....I mean its been years and no name say....I just think the name thing is a bit overrated now honestly...

----Just because WE don't know his name does not mean he has no name. :aldo: Of course, they're probably just seeing the suitability of it.

I see what ya mean. No Square-Enix staff is gonna see this thread and take our suggestions anyway. We're just wasting our time.

[Vyrexx]

I'd really laugh if Tetsuya Nomura is actually surfing these forums and stealing names that everyone has mentioned here. But the chances of that happening is almost 0% yes?
And assuming I should add in a name or something, I'd most likely list in Gale or Raiden.

Gale because I think it's somewhat related to weather, and Raiden because it has something to do with thunder and lightning.

Nuff' said

Carrot
Turbo
Gale

You people should be ashamed of yourselves :aldo:.This is pointless the chance of guessing his exact name without it being released is around 1.1%-Not that this percentage is even accurate.Why are we turning to fabricated cliche names?Please explain.

Unless theres some justification in your speculation then dont come up with random pointless unjustified names which naunen pretty much summed up.

[Darling Heartilly]

:PWe're just having some fun!:P
Anyone with at least half a brain should know that there's like, 0.0000001% chance of any of these being right. I mean, again I say, look at Tidus' name. If it's in a language most of us won't have heard of before we really havn't got a chance.

Perhaps we can see who gets the closest? And if we're lucky we only have to wait till July... God, that's yonks away.

[Cathryn]

Then why do people take it so god damn seriously when we reply.
"stfu, that name sucks, and all of this is bollocks"

Like i give a shit anyway, it's only speculation which is better left off not discussed about.

[Maggy]

Why don't you close this thread and re-open it when his name is revealed and people want to complain about it :cloud:

It comes to the point where they start to believe themselves.Fail.There's a fine line between speculation and a far-feteched random name fetish.

If there are more to agree then I will.I'd like to enjoy snivelling at another stupid name one more time to feed my ego.

As a warning-No more stupid weather and fucking vegetable names are to be randomly devised for the sake of posting and trying to create pointless stupid speculation.


Have some justification behind a name or go die plx

[Cathryn]

LET'S NAME HIM CLEMENTINE FOR ALL FRUIT BASED PURPOSES. :wub::wub:
Because that totally suits him. :wub:

[elephant_lost]

We sell clementine soda at my work it's actually pretty good
:cookie:

[Naunen]

I'm gonna close it anyways. There's always the fan name thread to have fun in.

*closed until his name has been officially announced*
