Thane Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 You know, it is a bit odd that we haven't seen more European names that aren't English, considering Fire Emblem is often about fantasy anime Europe and not just England. I feel like we should be seeing a few more German, French and Italian names in particular. 16 hours ago, Baldrick said: Could that name be any more obscure? Aaay!

I did know a Clodagh, and no one gave an attempt at pronouncing her name. Got downright predictable. I'm also interested in a Niamh. That one, I vaguely recognise as being already there, but I can't place the FE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 More than a few Irish names haven't been in (I'm certain mine for instance isn't) especially if you look at female names, much as Brigged and Aideen are there already. Saorise, Caoimhe, Maeve (discounting TRS), Áine, Colleen, Deirbhile, Aibheann, Roisín, Aisling, Una, Donnacha (or Donncadh), Tadgh, Senan or Darragh, to give a baker's dozen. (Of course, I'm discounting the common names that have their basis in the Bible/Torah, as a lot of common names have their basis in that) Oddly enough, something like Naoise or Chulainn are both in FE4. And for some others: Orla, Joseph (That one surprises me), Austin, Tracey or Martin. Also, Michael is a boss in Gaiden, and they haven't bothered using it since. Get Mike hype for SoV?

Jotari Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Pretty topical. A lot of Irish names sound great if you're saying them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 This isn't quite the topic for this, but I read the entirety of Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur, and I saw a couple names in it that FE hasn't used from Arthurian lore, but could be quite awesome. (By the way, do not read Le Morte d'Arthur. It is long, very very dry, and even incomplete with regards to the Tristan story. Hard to be believe at many times that Arthurian legend could inspire so much fantasy with the repetitive and disconnected tales within this particular work. Pelleas was good though.) Aggravain, Gaheris, Galahad, Lamorak, Palomides, Lucan, Dinadan. I'll add more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledai Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 They changed that to Samuel? Lol. Must be a Heroes thing, since I have literally zero recollection of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for the games that were never localised, we have the Choose Your Heroes thing giving us English names for the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanguard333 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 There is one that I can think of: Bran. I'm not sure how common it is, but it doesn't sound like an uncommon name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_antithesis Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Andrew Daniel(le) Taylor Elizabeth Margaret Marie Theodore Agitha Also, FE has reused previous names, such as Arthur being in Fates and Sacred Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etrurian emperor Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Its not exactly a ''normal'' name anymore but Baldwin was a name often used by kings and nobles. I don't recall any Fire emblem character named Baldwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
