I just totally remembered that sister said Camus was pronounced 'ka-MOO' That just totally blew my mind. It sounds like Shamu, the whale. :lol:
It's not the best or worst name out there, but it certainly seems awkward to me now.

That isn't too strange. She was probably thinking of Albert Camus, whose name is sort of pronounced that way.

well, it is a french name, so that would be the proper prononciation. the letter s is generally silent when it's at the end of words in french.

I like being from a country where English isn't a major Language. It makes it all easier to not go all "Whaaaa" when there's a name you don't really recognise and how to pronounce it.

^_^ from now on, im calling camus ka-moo!

interestingly, in my country, "tuta" means little dog/puppy. =) cracks me up every time.

oh, and we actually have a small indigenous tribe called "karaya". makes you wonder where konami gets their material from.

Really???? I've never noticed there was a tribe with that name around. Maybe I just fail at knowing about our indigenous people >_>

Haha, yeah, tuta indeed! Fits him, 'cause he was a lil boy when we first met him.

I believe the right way to pronounce Camus is Ka-myu. Either way I don't think it really matters too much.

I like the names Arshtat, Leknaat, Sera (sarah from S3, but I prefer calling her Sera as that's how it's written in her japanese version), Sasarai, Luc, Sierra Mikain, Chris Lightfellow, Pesmerga, Georg Prime.

Yuber is fun to pronounce, but I can't say I like that name. lol

I don't think the name "Windy" suits Windy. It's just so wrong for a character like her :/

Pretty sure "Window" the window maker wins the award for worst name. With Neclord as a close second place

Best name? Id have to go with Sgt Joe. Classic.

Well, if Camus is pronounced in the french way, it's not ka-moo at all.
English doesn't have french equivalence to pronounce the "u" like us.

The way Camus is pronounced in french can be found there : http://www.mediadico.com/dictionnaire/lecture.asp/definition/camus/parle/1


Anyway, yeah, Window was an obvious lack of inspiration :/
I like a lot of name : Arshtat, Ferid, Belcoot, Geddoe, Alhazred, Kanaan and Chrodechild (from Tierkreis).

"Luserina" has got to be the worst name ever. I always call her "Loserina," ha.

Really? Worse than Neclord? Cause if Suikogaiden is to be believed his parents actually named him that.

A name that always makes me wonder why it's in a game like this, is Fubar. I mean, come on. They gotta know what it means... It's been around since 1940 or something.

Neclord was actually... Named that? Who was his parents, Necmom and Necdad?
