This is Hihimi Himi, for the record. I've always liked to think up names, so I figured I'd make a thread to see the significance of your characters' names!
Hihimi and H'eemi (My Seeker)'s names comes from my longstanding online nickname, Heemi. Heemi is in turn based off of the Japanese word "Hime", meaning either princess, or a young noblewoman, and was the name I chose for my Beloved Asura Necromancer in Guild Wars 2.
Next on the list is my New RP character who has a Name I am very proud of: Momotaro Cocotaro! Anyways, here's his overly long entomology:
Momotaro = Japanese folk hero.
Momo = Peach | Taro = Eldest son
Cocotaro = A Lalafellin translation of Kotaro, which is a Male Japanese name
Kotaro = "Small Eldest Son" from the particular Kanji I used as basis
Coco = Bears superficial resemblance to the Coco brothers (Thaumaturges' Guild-Heads) and also Coconuts
Making his full name mean something along the lines of "Small Peach Son" when romantically translated.
Finally, we have the oddballs: Kai'to Valen and Hare Stark. Kai'to's name is just the name Kaito keeper-ified, with Valen being derived from Valenwood of the Elder Scrolls series. Hare's name is just one I thought fitting of a Highlander Hyur, so there's no real story there...
I'm looking forward to seeing your explainations!
