Yeah. I went to the shop, and saw this milkshake. It was called Yazoo, so I bought it, and it made me think of advent children. I should have made a poll, but here is the question:
Isn't Yazoo the stupidest name you've heard? It doesn't even sound like an evil guys name. Especially when it's the same as some pink milkshake I drank like an hour ago....

And Loz isn't that scary either. Loz is a short name for Lawrence. I guess Lawrence is pretty scary, but Loz isn't. Kadaj is like, the only cool name that SE have come up with for these three 'bad dudes'. Oh well, that's just me talking.

I must agree that the names of the WHM sound rather... stupid. I think of 'kazoo' everytime I hear Yazoos name, and it makes me snicker.

*snickers*

Yup, their names aren't exactly awe inspiring are they. Mind you by that reasoning Cloud's isn't either. ;)

Yazoo makes me think of the milkshake too, and it doesn't taste like catspiss! I quite like that drink :D

Loz is the worst name I think, I think cough lozenger when I see it.

I think Kadaj is the best name also, until someone comes up with some cleaning product called Kadaj.....s'only a matter of time. :D

The first thing I thought when I saw their official romanized names was that they were transliterated in the worst possible way they could have been.

Or maybe a facial care product. Kadaj pore-cleansing strips. :p Seriously though--their names really are pretty awful. Wonder why no one at Squenix USA spoke up and said "Hey...um...these names kinda suck...and English-speaking fans are prolly gonna laugh at them..."???

I don't like the name Loz for him, it sounds rather random or something. And from what I hearm Yazoo the milkshake is really good. Now, I happen to love that name, Yazoo and Kadaj. I don't know, I didn't at first because I was wondering "WTF?" But after a while, they grew on me and I just accepted it. I mean, they're cool names. Esspecially Yazoo and Kadaj *drools* Yazoo...Kadaj....*drools and drowns* Well anyway, I love the names except Loz, but then again, Cloud's an ass name for someone. It seems like the Squaresoft makers were just looking around one day trying to figure a name. "Desk? Table? Sky? That's been taken, how about Rainbow? OH! CLOUD! There we go!"

If you must put it simply, Yazoo's hair is longer than Kadaj's. But to go in depth *or at least how I can somehow tell them apart* Kadaj looks younger, because he IS the youngest and his eyes are more catlike than Yazoo's. Yazoos facial structure is a little more feminine than Kadaj's. I could try and go on...

Yazoo is the one with the longest hair.

EDIT - I'd agree with the thing about it just being the translations producing the rather strange names.

but not much longer

Square enix has come up with weird random names like Qustis Quina

do they want gamers to spend an hour trying to learn how to say the names?

*this goes only if youre talking about the clone's hair*not to be mean but are you partially blind? Yazoo's hair fall nearly to his waist line while Kadaj's stops at his shoulders. And names like Quina I don't like, but Quistis was an easy name.
