I like the name Jiji for the cat up on the ceiling where you use the witch power. It's a shout-out to ghibli, Kiki's cat was named Jiji.

Hey people. Im a YN veteran here, ever since about it came out, and I was VERY interested in exploring the game and getting all effects and naming EVERY creature. I made a list for what I named the creatures between 04' - 06' or around those years. Just my opinion on the names, I like abstract concepts and symbolism, so here goes nothing. I'll work my way down in terms of popularity among the fandom.

Uboa = To be honest, I couldn't think of a name for this guy, so I just went with "Frightful"
Madostuki = I always knew she was Madostuki, but I called her "Window" for some reason.
Poniko = Beauty
Masada = The Isolated Musician
Monoe = Sister
Monoko = Disfigurement
KyuKyu = Abstract
FACE = Didn't name it, he looked like a pattern or static more than a creature.
Toriningen = Guardians
The Thing With The Quivering Jaw = Entrapment
Shitai = Accidental
Big Red = Hunger
Steve "Leif" Kareha = Took me a long time to find out this bugger exists, but I named him "Travel"

I found most, if not all creatures, but those were all the symbolized names. All other names were random things I could think of, like Shikyuu = Watching or Tokuto-kun = Drip Drip.

If I had photoshop and free time I could make my own version of the chart, but nobody cares, all the names are decided (and quite nice, might I add).

wasn't uboa's original name unpronouncable

>>781
What was Uboa's original name?

>>781
are you sure you're not mistaking him with Masada? as far as i know uboa was always uboa

>>780

How did you find it around its release? I'm kind of envious because I didn't find it until 2008.

I was messing around with a shiny new translator, so I was clicking random links, going to japanese sites, and by a 1/1,000,000 chance, I found http://b.hatena.ne.jp/entry/www3.nns.ne.jp/pri/tk-mto/ . At least, I think that's the site.

I didnt know what to expect, and couldnt read the instructions, so it took me roughly a year 1/2 to translate what to do and then actually beat the game.

>I didnt know what to expect, and couldnt read the instructions, so it took me roughly a year 1/2 to come to terms with my homosexuality.

fix'd

>>789

I LOL'D

>Big O

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

I called this guy "midorihito" and means "green person" if my japanese is right.
Nobody notice he looks like Shitai-san?

>>843
Considering there's many people in the "mall" area and some by the cliff in the Sky Garden that are all in the same sprite style (although skin color varies), Shitai could be related to them.

These guys look like they want a hug. Then to devour me. I think we should call them lures.

I always referred to the small snake-like creature at the pier as "Nessie". BUt then again, that's also how I referred to that green sea creature thing in the little pond at the place where you find the witch ability. I think one of those creatures should be called "Nessie", but I'm not sure which one.

Straight hair: Ichitori
Pigtails: Nitori
Cut-off pigtail: Santori

What happens when you flip the hiragana backwards? That is one possibility, or attaching something to the beginning of the name, for the demented versions. In order, these names are tori 1, tori 2 and tori 3.

Edit: Named the third 4. Temporary retardation.

Nobody loves you, Amy S.

>>870
Is that supposed to bother me? I finally came up with simple names for the long-nameless Toriningen. It is only a personal suggestion though. Or maybe there is jealosy for being the first here to give the individuals names? Whatever the fuck. If you don't like people like me, get off the Internet. Many more are out there. Maybe I just took your bait, though.

>>871

>>871
Actually, you act like a jerkass half the time with little to no tolerance for other people's opinions, so even though the (possible) troll was a little harsh it wasn't necessarily uncalled for. :\
There's nothing wrong with naming Toriningen, however, I personally think they're better just being called by what they are.

>>877
This is a little late, but zero tolerance is something I've come to expect from everyone else. This community feels no different than any other chan. If I can see promise in it, maybe I won't act like a jerk towards conflicting oppinions. I have learned that if you show weakness in your judgment, you will get stomped on in most chans. The first step to make me lower my guard and try to act nice is to stop attacking me at random, especially with images of my own savior.

Edit: I don't propose the names of the Toriningen as definitive, but more like an identification code. That is why they are numbers. It is also as simple as most names that originated in Japan. For example, Poniko is better Romanized as Ponyko, meaning ponytail kid.

Even though whoever wrote #870 was overdoing it, I'd say listing toriningen by assigned integer number is slightly less creative than most stuff here.

And you've been complaining very recently how you are horribly depressed and need medication because no therapy in the world would help you, such is the bottomless abyss of your despair.

And here you are. Assigning numerals to the toriningen. And claiming admitting any kind of uncertainty is frailty. And mentioning Jesus Christ when in opposition to His precepts, in every way I can think of.

EDIT: for anyone curious, the lengthy quotes are because emo fags here tend to delete their posts after they realize they were refuted.
DISCLAIMER: I did not write #870, #872 or #877. But that doesn't mean I don't agree.

I think it is time for me to get off the internet and stop pointlessly flaming people on forums. I have been a huge moron and deserve to be treated as such. Also, I am a cunt.

Oh my god guys, calm down and have some drugs.

As much as I love Moderating and getting to delete posts and ban users, the hostility in this thread is beyond retarded (seriously? over fan-names that don't even matter?). It's not as if you guys can't be rude, but if shit gets out of hand, someone might be staring down the barrel-end of a tempban.

...On second thought, go ahead and do something stupid. I could use the practice.

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP BUMPING THIS THREAD AGSDFSD

Seriously guys, calm down. If you wanna contribute to the naming, post in the new thread, >>917 .

>>976
But kgiax doesn't read the actual site...

Who said anything about reading, I'm talking about banning.

>>975
This.

>>979
OBJECTION!
You must have read the statement you responded to in order to sensibly respond to it.

Oh wow, you're right, you got me good.

You're banned.

(USER IS AWESOME FOR THIS POST)

I'm not suggesting we stop calling him FACE, but because I'm freaking scared of him and because of what he supposedly resembles/represents according to most theories...I'm going to call 'im FUCKHEAD

>>239 "Jiji"

YAY! Now i know that cats name!

Ok, so if you havent seen on /uboa/, i thought about naming this guy "Boushihebi". It means "eye snake" in japanese

What do ya think?

>>1693

From what I know "boushi" does not mean eye. Me is eye, and from what I've gotten from other sites "boushi" is a term for a late older sister. Hebi does mean snake, though.
Mehebi?

Can I ask where you got "boushi" from?

Oh, sorry i didnt know. My japanese is still pretty bad and i always get words mixed up

God damn it, why you bump this?

>>1697 Tattsu, Seahorsey sounds retarded.

>>349
Aww, the ghosts get no names?

I fell in love with that little blue one ever since I noticed that he follows you, so I named him Marco.

C'mon, guys. Marco deserves a better name!

what about E-Man?

>>2076
I think he's fine how he is.

I agree that english names would be easier to remember. Many of them work well enough just transliterating Jp names, though (ie I heard Kyuukyu-kun referred to on another board as "Mr. Squeaks", and "Mr. Bucket" and "Mr. Corpse" work well enough for those characters.) In this light, I'd suggest that the orange thing be called "Seahorse", or maybe "Dragon" (as that would be a literal translation of "tatsu").

>>2455

>Implying everyone needs Mr. in front of their name to be memorable, and that KyuKyu, Tokuto, and Shitai don't already have concrete names.

>>2457

>implying that "Mr." is to make them memorable rather than simply attempting to translate the honorific

>>2457
>>2460
Oh, FFS. If you're going to argue with me, do it on the new thread, because I said the same fucking thing there. I assumed you had responded to the post on the new thread, and responded without looking, so half of that is what I get for not paying attention, but >>917 go argue with me RIGHT, dammit.

Sage because it's already on the top and whole post is about NOT bumping this thread.

>>2461

I actually did see that other post before responding here. I never intended to argue with you, I was just saying that it bothers me when people make up names for characters that already have popualrly used names.

I'm sorry if I missed the point you were trying to make.

>>2466
Oh. Sorry.

The point I was trying to make is translating the names directly could be useful for persons new to the fandom, or the (admittedly scarce) segment of the fandom that is not also weeaboo.

I meant no negative connotation to "argument", as I consider them useful.

Sage still, because I don't want to bump the old thread. Pic saved, because seriously, who can keep being irritated when you bust that out at them?
