#they CHOSE their name during a train of thought relating to thinking abt the Cambrian but it is Not Actually Cam

[clannfearrunt]

Since the approach is “The Splatoon has been translated to English/Japanese for the audience but they speak their own language in-universe” I’ve been trying to be mindful about knowing what my main characters’ “real” names actually mean. The relevance between “localized” names and their real names’ meanings get shaky on my earliest characters since I hadn’t fully internalized this thought process yet and was just vaguely mimicking official characters though lol but even with my later characters where I’m being more deliberate I’m not usually looking to translate names 1 to 1

Anyways I think the only character whose name means the exact same thing in every language is Lily Aoi. Lily is a Lily and her family name is Hollyhock. Girl is flowers all the way down. Doesn’t get any simpler than that!!
