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.

At that point I guess it's just to make the names dissimilar visually.

That does make sense for avoiding confusion and things, I guess...

Oh, what about you? You said you thought you lucked out with your name, right?

My parents have an interesting way for naming me and my siblings. The last syllable one name will be the starting syllable for the next siblings name.

Starting with the oldest; it goes Illumi, Milluki, Killua that's me, Alluka, and Kalluto.

Oh, I see! That's actually really clever, how did they think of something like that?

I never got around to asking about it so I'm not to sure. Maybe my did it that way on a whim.

Maybe...! Naming people or pets almost seems like something that you'd need to think about, though.

They thought about the way to do it but they might not have a reason. That's a bit more creative then what most people would do at least.
