With "Bonnie" sounding like "bunny" and "DuPree" apparently being from a french word meaning "from the meadow" (Kinda like where vegetables come from?)
Finding a vegetable pun is hard!

I dunno, there are dudes out there named Brock Lee...
(I guess that won't help when it comes to female names, though.)

Eh, we can keep "Robert", so everyone on staff can call him "Bob". Maybe Robert Harrow?
Then again, calling him Jack Harrow is quite tempting...

I bet they'll take the last name and make it "Upton" or something.

Any surnames that you could switch 2 segments and it makes a working surname?
Either that or his surname is "Stark"

So for the other characters I don't know if American names are the way to go for the Kurain characters. The names need to stay somewhat foreign. Maybe find a language to base them off of consistently.

The "padma" part of Leifa's name can stay. I even suggested changing "Bokuto Tsuani" to "Tory Gaidhi". The names can be based either off of Tibetan or Sanskrit.

Huh, sounds like an interesting idea. Tory Gaidhi is a very good name to me. The local characters (Japan/LA) should have an English name.
Kanenari could be named Jackson Stark if they were trying to imitate Depp's likeness. It doesn't sound too out of place I think.

This CYOA follows Vesti Gates and Lauren Tehra, two detectives who search for the truth, whether in their own dimension or otherwise.

O'Connor and L'Belle?
I understand the reasoning for it in the Khura'in language is to make it sound more foreign. Also, I think the apostrophe is meant to be a "ʔ" (A glottal stop) for the Khura'in languages. So there's a small pause between the sounds.

Take out the repeat mark from Mimi's surname, the kanji literally mean "vegetable" (like carrots) and "field". You know, like a carrot field? And because Mimi's dressed as a bunny?
Guys, new suggestion: "Bonnie Greenfield".

No, because that's natural, it's more when you make a name like "Ural'ooser" that I think it's lame.
I don't know with Khura'in. It just looks annoying to me, I can't articulate why.

Because Robert backwards is Trebor
And Downey backwards is Yenwod
Also yen is Japanese currency, and this guy looks kinda rich.

Calling it right now, Potdino will be called Gee Zeus or Baah N'joh.

I put Potdino's name in a translator, and I got "The glue pot D,"
I highly doubt this is correct, but there you go.

I think I may have mentioned it already in another thread, but to recap...
Should I start a new thread for these pun origins? It may take a bit before I get my game copy, though.

Hmm... would it, though? How often do they localize names based on the original Japanese meanings? I'm not picking or anything, but it seems to me they start fresh more often than not.
