Like Mikey, Petey, Davey, Bobby, Billy, Danny, etc. it's a diminutive, and I kind of associate it with a 10-year-old kid. The other name in the series I always hated was Futch, sounds a bit too much like fudge to me, and I'm sure I'm not the first to immediately think of "what the futch?!" when I say or hear the name. Also, much as I like the character, I don't really like the name Flik. Sounds kind of like a sound effect, kind of like Zing or something. As for names I really like, I always loved Schtolteheim Reinbach as the joke name throughout the series, and it was great when they introduced the real ones in S4... making the IIIrd a narcissist seemed very appropriate as well. I also wonder why, with the endless naming possibilities, they reuse names for SoDs... I mean, ya, tons of people in the real world share names, but it would be less confusing if characters had different names (Gordon especially, I'm looking at you!). In general though, I do think the series has some cool and fitting names.
Now
THAT's what I'm talking about......
Anyways, no offense to anyone of you guys but I think Suikoden V had
alot of very weird named characters.....I never really took a liking to names like "Dilber Novum", "Dolph"(sounds quite silly....), "Volga"(lol) and etc......
.....then there was Suikoden I with names like "Sydonia"(and a
GUY has that name?!), "Windy" (They should've given her a more better name since 'Windy' sounds like that of a fairytale character which doesn't make her sound scary or threatening when she really is.)...and etc....
