the worst name in the world!! VANITAS

[Apasstrife]

okey, this thread have no relevance but hell with it!!, im tired of speculation.

kingdom hearts series always delighted us with greats names sometimes associated with other things such ass ancient words or elements of nature.
Names like ROXAS or almost all the org xiii names (marluxia and saix kick ass!!) make great influence in the quality of the game and the worship of thouse characters. i think all kh fans remembers all the ROXAS!! of DIZ and the org members. YouTube - People Say Roxas' Name Too Much
the otherday i was, like always, checking the khinsider news and i came across with the name VANITAS!!.....first y say wtf¿?...this is probably some corporation name. but it wasnt.
if the name was for a char with less influence, i´ll let it through, but we are taking about the MX apprentice!!!.. even if the meening of the game is the moust deep thing in the world, i found it inapropiate for a kh game.

probably is just me but i wanna know what you think about this name (VANITAS!!)

pd: sorry for my arcaic english....

"see you in khinsider"

COOL STORY BRO

Either way, I actually like the rough translation of the name.

 

[Axel's Fire]

Totally agree...I hope they shorten it to Van but then there might be confusion...​

 

[Tenyas]

I kinda like it... Albiet it girly at first, it has a deep meaning to it.

 

[Allister Rose]

if you say it in a fast casual tone, it doesnt sound that bad. this reminds me of Axel's real name predicament

 

[Mr. Wilhelm]

I don't see how Vanitas is non fitting in a game with name like Xehanort, Riku, Ventus or again Ansem...

 

[Audo]

Just Nomura riding on his current obsession with Latin words.

Vanitas = "Emptiness".

 

[Esso]

the name sounds a bit weird but when you put some thought into it it's pretty cool and funny
Exmple; it means vanity or emptiness
Emptiness adds more awesomeness to the name, for me that is.

 

[Liege]

Would you have preferred it to be something along the lines of, say, Ferdinand, instead?

See? It could always be worse.

I happen to think it's pretty darn great, myself; it really 'suits' him (get it? HAR, HAR). That is, assuming it's his actual moniker, of course.

this reminds me of Axel's real name predicament

Hm, still not a huge fan of that. I was hoping they'd go with 'Ael'/'Ale'/'Eal'. Y'know -- for hilarity's sake.

 

[Allister Rose]

ferdinand doesnt sound so bad.

vanitasu appears to be a nice direct translation from japanese. the u at the end is silent, and the only letter that could possibly change is the "V" more or less

 

[Apasstrife]

i see the guy`s figure and i imagine a more terrible name. vanitas is just too "disney", too "happy". maybe under that armor theres a teletubie but i just dont imagine it.

 

[The true Areku23]

I didn't think it was that bad.

 

[Audo]

i see the guy`s figure and i imagine a more terrible name. vanitas is just too "disney", too "happy". maybe under that armor theres a teletubie but i just dont imagine it.

Yeah... because a name meaning "emptiness" is "too happy".
Nevermind the fact that Vanitas is a Disney character.

 

[Apasstrife]

Yeah... because a name meaning "emptiness" is "too happy".

i dont care what it means (in this argue), im saying that it SOUNDS to "happy"

Nevermind the fact that Vanitas is a Disney character

WTF¿? a friend of mickey¿?

Holy ****! Google image search "vanitas"

LOL, exacly

 

[Nitopio]

i think vanitas sounds like a female name. but its really unique name i guess.

 

[Hypoxium]

Sounds like a great name to me, the meaning suits him.

Also, I was around when Roxas's name was revealed, and hardly anyone liked it at first. You might not even be pronouncing it properly.

 

[Wehrmacht]

WTF¿? a friend of mickey¿?

Not exactly, just Disney owns the right to him just like they own everything else in Kingdom Hearts that isn't Final Fantasy.

 

[Apasstrife]

but theres a diference between square-enix and disney chars in kingdom hearts.....roxas, VENITAS, ansem, etc.. are creation of S-E...even if "disney owns the rights"

 

[Audo]

Yeah, he's still a Disney character, regardless of semantics.

 

[Zero Sora]

And thus, Vanitas' Disney name suits him because he is a Disney character.
