What Xion IS

[Reflection]

They're really all likely to some extent.

I dunno about Oin... XD

My point was that it makes as much sense as any of them do right now.

The Sea Goddess thing is trying to make a weak connection, that's why I was saying the Alkaline reference. I mean, Nomura basing Xion's original name off of Ino, who is a normal person, who becomes Leucothea, who is a Sea Goddess. Too much of a stretch.

Nio
Ino
Ion
Noi
Oni
Oin

I find it less of a stress than the Alkaline Water thing =/
Not that it matters, but who's to say Nomura even came up with the name?
Either way, If the connection to Kairi is actually true, I see her name having more of a water meaning.
But of course nothing is overly set in stone or anything like that, I just find Ino more logical right now - to me though.

Has the meaning of a name been important in the games themselves at all?

If you think about it, though, it makes sense for it to be Ino because she's no longer Ino, but has changed into a different person. Rather like the change into a goddess.

And to the person who said Namine's name is off..... Namine means Ocean Wave or something like that in Japanese.... she's a "wave off of the sea" that is Kairi.

Not yet, though Nomura has stated that they do have an importance, and that will be a focus of BBS.

Wave. The sea(Kairi) trying to reach the sky(Sora).

Hah, you never know.

There's plenty of stress in the Sea Goddess name. Ino is indirectly related to the Sea Goddess, not an actual name for it. And so far names have been concerned with more general terms like Sky, Earth, etc, over something specific like Sea Goddess.

The names for TAV will be important in their meaning as Nomura said.

Ino was not a goddess, she was a mortal.

That's what I said mate, read it again. :closedeyes:

Well the Main trios have general terms, but then you get things like Nami in the mix.
And then there is all of the Org's names (which i hope will officially be revealed in 358/2 Days v.v)
Either way, it isn't that important right now, I wouldn't think.

That's what he meant. He said her original name being Ino, but now being Xion is her changing, similar to how Ino changed.

 

[kebladewarior127]

I like Nio best Grace and what theories do you have concerning her other half?

 

[Raz]

Xion is most likely a nobody. Oni, Ino, Ion is her human form. Unless the whole "Xion" thing is a lie, and it is Aqua or something.
I dunno.

 

[Seikay]

The staff said that their not even sure if it is spelled Xion, all they know is it is pronounced shee-on, so either one of the many names already said could be it....or none at all.

Namine still is general. Oni is referring to a specific Sea Goddess. The Org names as far as we know have nothing to do with meanings.

 

[Audo]

The org names that make sense to me relate to the member, but it isn't a general meaning.
Either way, that is neither here nor there. =/

I still think Xion is just an alias either way

Huh? We don't know if their originals have meanings in their names at all. Not sure what you're saying.

I think Xion is an alias too. All the more reason to believe that any anagarm with n, i, and o would be as likely as the next.

I was referring to speculation on the other member's real names, as in not the apprentices. But it doesn't really matter, thus why I said it didn't.

Mhm.

 

[xegerog]

the fourteeth is not an unbirth. nomura stated that all of the enimies is bbs had been eliminated by kh1

 

[KCDjedi]

So do I.
I, personally, feel that the name is a symbol of the changes made by this person (if the name ends up being Ino) and being reborn. This name could have just as easily worked for... say... Larxene... if she were meant to have a connection to water-gals.



That's what came into my head, anyway, when I was reading about the myth. :bored:

 

[Mr. Wilhelm]

I like Ion, because of its relation to electricity, and so in a way it's still relate to Aqua.

 

[Antiquity]

I like the names Nio, Ino, and Ion.
Don't know why, but it just sounds cool.
Again, I agree with RK that it's just an alias.

 

[b-mart]

i think her could be Oni it would make sense
