Also, for some odd reason, I'm starting to feel as though Lightning's real name should have been either Samantha, Amanda, or Andrea, since she is very manly. Think of it this way: Samantha and Amanda, and Andrea is derived from the Greek word for man. Furthermore, I think Serah's name should have been Claire, since she isn't a princess, like the various other characters named Sara(h) in the series. Alternately, I think they could have called her Sarabeth, in order to differentiate and further distinguish her from the others.
