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.

[That brings a bright smile over France's face.]

I suppose it would be, wouldn't it? Gaul and Rome and those from that period are more like parental figures. I have to admit: I've always somewhat envied humans for having such varied and interesting family lines.

[He waves a hand in a broad motion, eyes twinkling.]

But I needn't envy something I already possess. Thank you for this.

I'm happy to help. [He gives a cheeky grin.]

While I have a few issues with my family, we have a pretty interesting history. I know my great great granddad is still alive. He actually still working in the the family business.

[He's pretty sure that Maha is like 100 or something. He can still kill a person pretty easily.]

[France's eyebrows go up. He's suitably impressed.]

Most family businesses have a scion of sorts, but he must be quite up in age. You don't worry he's going to fall behind on the times?

That's not much of a problem, my family normally abilities take out a target even without extra power from nen. So he's fine honestly.

It's more of a problem when advancements make things too convoluted.

[France frowns slightly, not understanding.]

What do you mean by advancements? Technological, or...?

Technological, one of the big brothers is a super tech head and a bit of a shut in. So he'll come up with all sort of crazy inventions to do tasks for him. However he doesn't think about the end the goal, so the process gets super complicated and fairly stupid by the end.

So, he's a true inventor-type: concepts beyond the end of the world but something of a space case?

[France chuckles.]

I know a few people like that.

Yep, that's Milky in a nutshell.

Do those people have superiority complexes as well?
