Post subject: | DGS2 Names (puns, origins) (spoilers) |
I made a quick list of the puns and origins behind the names of the characters that appear in this game. I only wrote down the new names (the topic for the first game is here), and they are more-or-less in order of appearance. Note that I only wrote down things for the names I'm pretty sure of, or when Takumi or other staff members have explicitly explained where the name comes from. By the time you're doing deep character interpretations of character personalities in order to explain certain names, you're usually on a wrong track, as nine out of ten times, it'll turn out that Takumi simply named a character after someone he knows or something like that. But yeah, there are still quite some names I'm not sure off, and I didn't write down all the locations, so I might get to that too.

Are the English names said as first name last name? When I Played, I had help with the language, so I didn't pay attention Like is it actually "Benjamin Dobinbough" or is it like "Dobinbough Benjamin" or do they use honorifics? |

All the Western names are given in Western order. Different honorifics are used by different characters. I.e. Holmes uses the English word "mister", while Susato addresses most people by either given or last name + sama. I added the names for the bonus episodes too. |

So apparently Shu san already talked about the naming on the official blog. Someone has compiled it here: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/game/gyakusai/da ... _dgs2.html Spoiler: I kinda get the feeling that all of the best puns have already been used up over the many games, so Shu san has started to pick names more based on sounds and obscure references? |
