RidellCrimea Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Shinonome is now Shiro. Has anyone posted this info yet? https://twitter.com/AlexaRayC/status/698698537391927296 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrocknroll Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I can buy this. Shiro is white and he's technically Hoshido's heir. It works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soranauta Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I was so sure he was going to be Shino (like most people), but Shiro is basically one letter changed so no complaints here Percy and Velouria are really nice names too, cute even. Now I'm really curious about Kisaragi and I'm tempted to ask Edited February 14, 2016 by soranauta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreyas Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Shiro <3 Gives my female avatars more incentive to marry him~ Sorry, Ryoma, but I'm marrying my nephew~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorisaGoldfish Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was definitely expecting Shino or something entirely different, but I really like Shiro! This is one of the few name changes I like. Although I guess it's less unique of a name compared to Shinonome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I miss the Shinonononononononome jokes but I didn't expect that to survive localization anyway. Shiro's nice enough--the white meaning complements Hoshido's Japanese name-Byakuya, which, if you take each character apart, byaku is white and ya is night. I can live with this.

Silver Lightning Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm pleasantly surprised at the names. I wasn't expecting them to mostly stay the same with Velour to Velouria (thought it would be Velvet or something completely different), but I'm ok with it. Just glad to finally have an official name for my new cosplay endeavor~! Shiro is fine, though I would've preferred Shino slightly more.

Leif Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Shiro fits more with the white color motif in Hoshido. It makes sense and is a better name than Shinonome. Now there's Mitama, Kisaragi, and Ignis left if I'm not mistaken. EDIT: Hisame too. Edited February 14, 2016 by Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's Mitama, Kisaragi, and Ignis left if I'm not mistaken. EDIT: Hisame too. I can't help but feel that Hisame might be changed to Haku because it's easy to pronounce and that haku could be used as a verb meaning, "to affix a sword to one's hip". Hisame is a natural swordsman after all. Edited February 14, 2016 by JasonsOrigin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaze Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Ignatius perhaps? Ignatius fits better, yes. Plus, it would have a similar meaning to Ignis.

December Knight Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well gosh, I better be careful with Shiro or else then. I mean, he might die if he was killed. Also, Shiro can also mean "castle (城)" and "generation (城)". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Shiro fits more with the white color motif in Hoshido. It makes sense and is a better name than Shinonome. Not shitting on Shiro because I do like it, but I disagree about being better than Shinonome in the sense of meaningfulness, since Shinonome is written in Kanji as 東雲 which is a poetic way to say dawn, which is also associated with Hoshido. It's also quite meaningful. Shiro does make it easier on westerners and still preserves some meaning, so it's a very valid localization choice, but I feel like your comment misses the point of the name Shinonome in the first place.
