Re: Surnames...

[SuperMillionaire]

I remember when I kept rejecting last names given to me by all of you. For the American version of the game ONLY, I have decided their nationalities, as if they were living on Earth rather than a parallel universe. Sora/Roxas, Riku, and Kairi/Namine are Lebanese-Americans. Hayner, Pence, and Olette are Caucasian.

So far, here's what I've come up with:

Sora Abraham
Kairi Shapira
Riku Leila

How do you like it?

So Sora, Riku, and Roxas all just happen to be Lebanese-Americans? Seems very unlikely to me...

And Leila is my niece's name (although it's spelled differently). I think you should change it to something that's more exotic and less first-nameish.

And I also think Caucasian isn't a specific enough description. Polish, Danish, Italian, Albanian etc. would be much more fitting to describe their ethnicities, and thus easer to come up with a last name...

Just don't name give Pence, Hayner, and Oletter names like "Goodheart", "Loveheart" or "Belevolentheart" etc. That would be hideously horrible.

LOL.

I've heard of a last name called Lovejoy, but that would certainly be inappropriate here. Do you like Sora and Kairi's last names? I figured that although those names are Japanese in origin, they also sounded rather Middle Eastern to me, especially Kairi; a similar given name popular in the Middle East is Kaira.

And perhaps Hayner, Pence, and Olette are either British, Irish, Australian, or New Zealander.

Oooh, and the Destiny Islands will be miniscule islands off the coast of the big island of Hawaii, and perhaps Twilight Town could be located in California...
