#i’m trying to spread the big eyed tamamamamamammamamamagoro agenda pls support

[deus-ex-mona]

now that a week has passed, time to bring back the ✨cosmic horrors✨ of this post + some justifications of my name choices bc why not lmao—

~please assume that all last names were sniped from a name generator~

hiyori → hermione

if you remove the ‘m’ in ‘hermione’ and switch the placements of the ‘i’ and ‘o’, you get ‘heroine’. that’s it

also it’s easy to mispronounce if you’re an idiot like anime-uchida, so there can be a localised equivalent of the ‘hiyoko’ thing—

juri → jenni

her parents were milennials.

chizuru → chelsea

close enough to the base name

yujiro → eugene

it amused me. plus, the names sounded similar enough ig

his name was ‘yankeedoodle’ (like the nursery rhyme) in the first version, so he escaped relatively safely, really

aizo → alex

i was uninspired.

it was either ‘alex’ or ‘aaron’

ken → kenneth (with ‘ken’ as his nickname)

it amused me

arisa → alice

close enough to the base name

hina → hannah

close enough to the base name

kotaro → keith

he looks like a keith

kodai → kodak

i was uninspired. then i remembered he has a camera and put myself into the shoes of a dub localiser to decide on his name. his surname of ‘yam’ was sniped from my former(?) acquaintance though

nagisa → naomi

google tells me that ‘naomi’ is a gender-neutral name that’s used more frequently by girls. just like nagisa—

mona → mariah

name generator.

sena → sarah

close enough to the base name

koichiro → korian

name generator

it was either this or ‘kokonut’ ok

yumeru → yuzu

there needs to be the token foreign-named character in every dub. digimon had yoshi. so [redacted] anime has yuzu—

ft4

their names amused me

megu was supposed to be ‘mike’, then i hit the ‘y’ key by accident and a miracle was born

yeffrey came from a name generator though

mayu → mary

close enough to the base name

rei → rachel

close enough to the base name

saku → samson

name generator

tamamamamamamagoro → thomas

like, the tank engine, yk?

kuro → cheshire

so yk how arisa was changed to ‘alice’? kuro was thus localised to ‘cheshire’ as an ‘r/iamverysmart’-esque reference to the story of alice in wonderland. also bc the cheshire ken artwork still lives in my mind ✨rent free✨

if the dub of the [redacted] anime had localised the names too—
