Dragoncat Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Since FE characters often have normal everyday names, you're bound to run across a person with a FE name. Or a place... I kid you not, I live 7 miles from that little town. I have to go through it to get to the nearest Walmart...that brown O + M building? Seen it in person. There was a building that had "home of an underground environmental hazard" spray painted on it. Apparently nobody took a picture of it and put it on the internet. I'd do it myself but it's since been painted over. True story! And there was a Heath and a Boyd in my school. So...yeah, can anyone add to this? Have you seen a FE name irl?

Magical Glace Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 DodgeDusk's IRL name is Kieran Also my sis has a friend with that name I also remember trying to find Shinon's name origin... to find not much beyond game character. I kid you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geek Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have an Uncle Robin and an Uncle Geoffrey. My dad's name is Matthew. My sister's name is Erica (close enough to Eirika?). One of my parents' friends is named Frederick. Can't think of any more at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Frederick has his own town in Maryland. lol (there is actually a town named that there) I recall seeing a shop here in my town called Anna's (quite a coincidence there, lol). There's also one called Ross. :P I've seen the name Kellam somewhere around here too, I think at some church. I have a cousin named Amelia, a cousin named Amy, my brother had a friend named Kieran, my brother himself is named Daniel, my stepdad calls my mom Cath (because her name is Catherine), and that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Anacybele Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah, we can't forget one big one: Ford. The car company. Haha. Although FE's character has an E on the end to make it Forde. :P Ah, and I just remembered my cousin and uncle both named George (pronounced the same as Jorge).

There's also one called Ross. :P Ross is a chain of stores. I believe it's a clothes store. And lol at the Anna's... There's Daniels here too. That's one of the Tellius merchants, right? Forgot about him. He's not as memorable as Aimee. Oh and Matthews. I'm forgetting a buttload, arent I?

sirmola Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 ephraim (often with the same spelling) is a reletively common jewish name(i know several), simply because it was the best rominization of the name of a biblical character(one of the 12 tribes of isreal) Heck, i know at least 2 "ephraim joshua"s, because joshua is the name of a biblical character from the tribe of ephraim.

Tequila Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I know a Vanessa, a Ross, a Seth, and a friend of mine has a cat named Hector, although that probably doesn't really count. Also knew a guy named Eli, although it wasn't short for Eliwood as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also knew a guy named Eli, although it wasn't short for Eliwood as far as I know. Eli is the name of a biblical character. (the high priest at the beginning of the first book of Samuel), and hecter is the name of an (awesome) trojan hero who gets killed in the illead. FE has a lot of other biblical/classical references, and lots of real instances of FE names are just people named after the same reference.

Topazd Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Janne (as in the substitute of Nanna) is actually my name. It's really inevitable to come across instances of FE names in real life, due to how many games and characters there are and how much IS tends to use European names.

Julius Nepos Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I know a Trojan prince called Hector. There's an FE character named Daniel? That means I have an FE name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah, he's one of the merchant twins in PoR. Jorge and Daniel. They along with Muston and Aimee join Ike's party to supply his group with weapons and supplies in exchange for protection. It's at chapter 7 or 8. I forget which one.

eclipse Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Many of the FE names are common! For business names, I think Anna Banana's is still around in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 After refreshing myself on the characters and not relying on memory, I can add Noah, Laura, Jake, Beck (last name), and Ryan. My dad's name is Thomas, which is pretty close to Tomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
