Everyone's got a name or at least something close to it. But do you guys know what your names actually mean, or the reason you were given that name? We give pokémon names to set them apart, but does the way you name yours mean anything special? I just named this guy Lemon Twist since he reminds me of striped lemon candy.

[It’s been a boring day, for once Killua didn’t feel like doing something insane. Instead he’s just laying on his Dunesparce.]

It's interesting when you think about it: someone or you yourself has been given this word to identify by and it could have some really deep mean behind it. It could be something that a person thought sounded cute but in the end it's pretty sucky for you. For example, someone could have named their kid after a word that sounds cool yet it could mean horse-shit in the language its from.

I sort of lucked out with the way my parents named me and my siblings, but it has me wondering about everyone else. So tell me what your names mean.

I'd name them something cool, that would catch everyone attention. Like Nor'easter.

[venturesomely]

[ ....

This face ]

[killer_sweets]

[sigh]

It's sort of like a hurricane but different.

[venturesomely]

I think that'd be really fitting, Killua!

[killer_sweets]

Told you, it's cool and attention getting like a name should be. Unlike Go.

[venturesomely]

[ RUDE. Gon feels a bit irritated at that ] Ah-- But, Go Freecss would sound nice! I've never heard of Nor'easter until now...

[killer_sweets]

It sounds a chants! That's make Nor'easter more unique no one can say the have that name.

[venturesomely]

But, no one else is named Go, either! I think....

[killer_sweets]

Hmph, I guess so. Why can't we just go with the more creative name.

[Why are you giving simple names to our future your children, Gon. Killua is just trying to help.]

[venturesomely]

We?

[ SINCE WHEN WERE WE HAVING CHILDREN, KILLUA? ]

[killer_sweets]

Uh...You'll have a kid and I'll have a kid, so we.

[Yep, smooth. Gon will never know.]

[venturesomely]

[ Gon laughs. He gets it! And he does like the idea of it. ] I think you'd be really great with kids, Killua.

[killer_sweets]

Why do you say that? [THANK THE HEAVENS FOR THE CHANGE OF SUBJECT]

[venturesomely]

Because, I've seen you around Alluka! [ He'll bring it up later when you least expect it, Killua. That's how Gon ticks. ]

[killer_sweets]

Oh! Well, I had to take good care of her, she needs loads of love and care. It's what she deserves.

[He is going to combust from embarrassment when that happens. ]

[venturesomely]

That's what I mean. Did you guys get to travel a lot? I bet she had a lot of fun with you.

[killer_sweets]

I technically haven't left, but last time my memories caught up, she was happy. I know we're really far away from where we left you with Ging.

[venturesomely]

[ A nod ] Ging and I went our separate ways.

[killer_sweets]

He already left to do something new, right? [The man didn't seem like one to be tied down.]

[venturesomely]

Uh-huh. He said it was his job.

[killer_sweets]

I can't be surprised about that he loves it, at least you finally got to meet him. Though when we get back together at home, I guess I'll have to introduce you proper to my dad.

He's not socially awkward like Ging. [He probably is, but in an entirely different way.]

[venturesomely]

Your Dad?

[ HE'S IMAGINING AN ILLUMI 2.0 RIGHT NOW, DON'T MIND HIM. ]

[killer_sweets]

...Yes, my dad. I'm surprised you didn't run into home when you guys came to get me. He was home at the time.

[No no, there is thankfully only one Illumi and no others. ]

[venturesomely]

[ Shakes his head ] I've only met Alluka, and your older brother.
