Headcanons on last names for the main msr cast? (Ignoring Tatiana since hers is shown in-game)

Anon this has been in my drafts for ages because I got ambitious to do all of the main cast and then couldn’t think of names for half of them. But I want to get this post out there, so...here’s the ones I have. It’s not everybody, maybe if I manage to come up with more I’ll make another post.

.

Rigel* Stellarum (DJSS)

Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation of Orion, and a blue supergiant. With a name like that, of course he'd be full of himself. He's got a blue color scheme too; even his head has a blue color to it, maybe he was named after a blue star for that.

"Stellarum" is not a real word, but it is used to describe the DJ's genre officially. His genre doesn't seem to be a recognized one, so perhaps in-universe too his music was so unique that a subgenre was named after him. Also, I think his space object head and space-themed powers may have been inherited, so the family name would be something space-related.

.

Dodo Alamagua

An alamang is a type of Indonesion sword, and agua or aqua refers to water. Water can be used in reference to Sayu, Dodo’s blue skin, or because I just think he could have fluid natural movements. Sword taking inspiration from how he seems to carry a sword on his back. The notes corresponding to Do and Do are A and A, hence why I chose two roots starting with A.

.

Yinu Rosaceae

This is the family name for roses and related plants. Shares the name with her parents, from her father.

.

Daun Rosaceae (Yinu's Father)

"Daun" is a Malay word for "leaf" (if Google Translate is at all accurate). I think a leaf name would be fitting for him, as leaves provide energy for the rest of the plant, as he provided love for his family. It also sounds like "dawn," which I think would fit for his golden appearance.

.

Marion Amaranth* Rosaceae (Yinu's Mother)

Honestly she just strikes me as someone with an M name. Also, Marionberries - These berries are red and turn a near-black dark red when ripe, and have thorns. Sounds like a both sweet and defensive plant.

Amaranth is her maiden name. This is a type of flower that is actually a cluster of flowers in long red bunches. It looks a bit like her hair! I also just like the way it sounds, and how "Marion Amaranth" sounds together.

.

Jay* Nam (Neon J)

Truth be told I just saw other people call him Jay and have stuck with it. It's short, it's cute, and it's not that far off from "J" which some people may call him anyways.

Nam is a Korean name that allegedly came from a sailor who got blown off course and landed in Korea, which strikes me as a fitting origin. I like the hc that he's Korean. Along with his first name, this would also make his initials JN, the reverse of a possible shortening of his stage name as NJ.

.

1010 don’t have last names.

Initially, they were programmed only to respond to their color names. However, after they started signing autographs, which were meant to be illegible, fans managed to find letters in the signatures and made up names for 1010. With fans then calling them by names other than color, they were made to respond to those names as well.

.

*The names Rigel, Jay, and Amaranth came from this headcanon post. I just liked the names so much I adopted the same headcanons.

.

While I don’t have solidified names, here are my thoughts on the others:

Zuke, West, and Nadia have Malaysian last names of some fashion

The rest of the Sayu Squad also have last names where the roots come from the corresponding notes to their first names (Ex. Tila would be G and F).

Mayday selected her first name because she didn’t like how posh her birth name sounded
