Soledai Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's French so I would say Pan. Yes that's right, Pan as in Frying Pan. That was my first guess, actually So, it's likely, Pan-Nay, probably meaning you'll say 'penny' with a Jersey accent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Panne sounds exactly like Pan as in Pan's Labyrinth so I'm fine with it. All the names are good, guys. I actually hated a few of the originals anyway. Soiree was stupid. "Oh look, I named my child "party"!" Sort/Sol was... eh. Velvet was too obvious for me. Donny/Liz were far too comtemporary for my liking. The only one I have an issue with would be Cherche and that's only because it seems very difficult for the uneducated like myself to figure out how to pronounce. But, seeing as we have voice acting I don't think pronunciation will be a problem now. Didn't mind Callum but Kellam has a more fantasy-feel to it. Say'ri is fine, it just emphasises the foreign feel and gives the characters a bit of a naming convention. We've already heard from Reggie that Ylisse is pronounce like the first part of "illicit" and we've got voice acting as well. Shepherds and Risen are also genius concoctions by Treehouse. Actually, Shepherds and Morgan are like the best best moves in existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) It's French so I would say Pan. Yes that's right, Pan as in Frying Pan. Having taken french for three years, this is the correct pronunciation for "Panne". I would say "Pan" with more of a silent "n" if I were to say it out loud, however.

Lord Raven Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 What if it's "loo-chee-nuh"? (Which, considering the name origin, wouldn't be too surprising, personally.) I hope this is what they do because its the only one that makes sense lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Only change I had issues with was Sol becoming Stahl. I liked Sol as a name but I'm not gonna complain about it, it just bugs me somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I don't really care much for most names. But I'm definitely glad that they changed Mark to Morgan since I would prefer not to be reminded of FE7 and it's attitude towards genocide. I hope NoE will have this change as well. Stahl is somewhat awkward but the German translators usually change names like that anyway. For example they changed Duessel to Duennel, Haar to Darahan and Mist to Alja. And they renamed all the replacements characters by simply translating them into Japanese. So I assume that they will do so here as well. Amd I hope that NoA stood consistent with their Radiant Dawn translation and keep Shamans named as Light Priests.

Ace Tactician Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 When I learned that Chrom's name stayed the same, I was so happy, I could jump for joy. I also happy Lucina kept her name. Mark to Morgan is pretty awesome, reminds me of Morgan Freeman. Some localized names made me go "What? Why?" Like Serge to Cherche, Sol to Stahl, Ronku to Lon'qu, Fauder to Validar Iris to Ylisse and finally Perezia to Plegia. I've come to accept those localization's, although I was hoping they would stay as they were. All in all, I'm liking the localization's thus far.

Knight Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My brother is gonna be mad when he finds both his MU and MU's kid have the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iscaneus Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Considering Cherche looks like a Japanese fetish-take on a French maid, I think her new name fits. Personally I don't see why everyone is so up in arms over anything. Fire Emblem has a long history of significantly altering character's names from the Japanese releases to the English versions. Look up some of the names from PoR or RD and you'll see what I mean (I'm sure some of you already know this, I'm not trying to sound patronizing). Here are a few of my favorite changes: Aran was originally Brad Soren was Senerio Bastian was Ulysses Titania was Tiamat Astrid was Stella Ilyana was Elaice Rhys was Kilroy Stefan was Sōnbaruk So yeah, some of the names changes will throw us for a loop, but at least we can take comfort in this not being a new change in NoA's naming schemes.

Tiaramaki Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Definition of PANNE 1 : a silk or rayon velvet with lustrous pile flattened in one direction —called also panne velvet 2 : a heavy silk or rayon satin with high luster and waxy smoothness Origin of PANNE French, from Old French penne, panne fur used for lining, from Latin pinna feather, wing — more at pen First Known Use: circa 1794 noa you're so clever .... And to think, I thought NOA pulled a random name out of their Hammerspace and said, "this is great name!" Wow. That's... dang. ...I must be a weird person to have wanted Mark just for the reference. But Morgan is a gender-neutral name, like Robin, so that fits much better. I expected "Sort" because of the whole theme naming, but Stahl's fine with me. Cherche is a French word, to my knowledge. I couldn't help but think of Chrono Cross when I saw Serge for her Japanese name. Now that I think on it, what're they gonna do for n_n?

Strunk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Now that I think on it, what're they gonna do for n_n? I'm seriously hoping they go with Nn I don't care if it doesn't make sense. It was never supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterique Sign Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Nn's name is supposed to be borderline incomprehensible but they can't leave it as is, maybe Un? Jerome, Serena and Cynthia are fine the way they are They might change Laurent to Lawrence, Bredy to Brady, Chambray to Cambric and Degel to Desiree or summat Don't know what they'll do with Eudes, Azur and Noir Licht to Richter Mariabell will probably stay the same Guire will either stay the same or become Guile I hope Tiamo stays the same Grego will either stay the same, become Greg or Gregory I think Nono will stay the same (Manaketes get weird names) Not sure what they'll do with Riviera Sallya will probably stay the same Olivie will be Olivia Henri might stay the same or become Henry, or they might try to give him something that looks a bit more exotic They kept Flavia so they'll probably keep Basilio I think they might change Gangrel to Gangleri Lenha will probably become Len'ha Don't what they'll do with Inverse, I hope they keep it though Valhalt to Valhart Paris will either stay or be changed to something manlier Edited January 11, 2013 by Mysterique Sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strunk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is there any reason why they can't just leave her name as it is, though? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really see a reason to change it to a different name that doesn't make sense when we've got a perfectly good senseless name already.

Trickster Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Actually I think they might change Brady to maybe Bradley, like the fuhrer in FMA. And I think they might Change Serena since we already have a Selena. Richt's name is what I'm most curious about to see what they do. His name can be read as Richt, Licht, or even Lihto (Lee-toe).

BrightBow Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Maybe NoA simply resolves the issue with n_n by completely removing Nono. Edited January 11, 2013 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
