    The thing about Japanese is that one word can have many different meanings, depending on how it's written and/or used. Yuna means blossom, and I think there's also a reference to a woman who assists others at the bathhouse. I dont know about Rikku, I'd look it up but the place I use is down currently.

    I think that Rikku translation is correct. I know I've read that before, somewhere....if that counts for anything.

    Yeah, it could be correct for one version. But like I said, words have more than one meaning. Like 'Rei' means both 'zero' and 'soul'. Completly different meanings.

    I've played a few games where the main character is named Vahn, but i cant say i've seen Vaan ever used before. But if has a bit of T & A i wont be complaining.

    Edit: I didnt know TheAbominatrix was a chick... scary. I always thaught she was a scary man with lots of facial hair.

    Your complaints about the names are eurocentric.

    These names are not weird or stupid to the respective languages that they belong to.
    Lamia's Tiara- Headgear in FFIX
    Lamia's Flute- Weapon for Eiko in FFIX
    Lamia in FFV- a enemy
    appearance: a lady with long brown hair, wearing a tiara...half woman and half snake.
    Lamia in FF3j- A Harp
    Lamia in FFL2- An enemy
    FF2j Queen Lamia, at one point she even gets Frionel in a bedroom with her and jumps on the bed and says "take me!".. before she turns into her snakey self. She serves as a mini boss in this game (as Queen Lamia).. and after you fight her as a mini boss, regular lamia's become random foes and later on in the game, Queen Lamia's become random foes as well.
    LamiaScl. an item that paralyzes foes.
    According to legend, she was once a Libyan queen (or princess) who fell in love with Zeus. Zeus' jealous wife Hera deformed her into a monster and murdered their offspring. She also made Lamia unable to close her eyes, so that she couldn't find any rest from the obsessing image of her dead children. When Zeus saw what had be done to Lamia, he felt pity for her and gave his former lover a gift: she could remove her eyes, and then put them on again. This way, though sleepless, she could rest from her misfortune. Lamia envied other the other mothers and took her vengeance by stealing their children and devouring them.

    Seriously??? I always thought you were a very scary man...
    *sigh sigh...goes and gets drunk*

    I love the name Vaan and Ashe! Ok, maybe Balthier isn't the greatest, but hopefully the character will make the name nice, not the other way around.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Cloud isn't much of a name, either, but everyone loves him.

    Vaan isn't pronounced "van", like you would the automobile. It's pronounced "von". Kinda like mon in monster. Vaan sounds like a medieval name, anyway, so it suits the character.
    :monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
