Queen's Blade Name Etymologies

These has been in my head for a while now since Queen's Blade characters have very curious looking names.

Here's what I think where the names came from.

= No innuendo =

"Cloudette"

Claudette: Her power is Lightning so it makes sense that her name came from "Cloud."

Cute: Kawaii no loli-desu wa?

Erina / Elina: The first two letters of Reina switched.

Jean: Could have been named after "Jean Valjean" of Les Miserables. After all, he's miserable in the game.

Menace: Menace, as in the English word. XD "Menas" for more Egyptian feel

Nanael / Nanaelle : Nana (Seven) + "El" suffix commonly at the end of an Archangel's name. Seven Archangels.

Nyx: Night in Greek.

Reina / Leina: Spanish term for Queen. Makes sense since she's the main protagonist of Queen's Blade.

Cetra? XDDD

Sethra: Egyptian god of Death and Sun. (btw, that's how I spell "Setora")

Shizuka: Shizuka ni (Quiet)

Sharingan

Tomoe: Tomo + Moe = Hot Friend. Erm. According to Wikipedia, it is a Japanese abstract shape that resembles a comma and a common design element in family crests and corporate logos.

Ymir: Attempt at a Norse-sounding name. May have also came from Mimir, the head that prophesizes to Odin.

= Innuendos =

Erm, wut?

Cattleya: The woman with double innuendo name. Cattleya, flowers that look like a woman's you-know-what and also CATTLEya. Yeah, CATTLE. XD

"Come and get me, handsome! :P"

Echidna: Some sort of hedgehog? No, ECCHI-dna rather, which is self-explanatory. :P

Suicup.

Merona / Melona: Melon + Onna. *sings Buddy Body* Erotikku na bodei! XDDD

Nowa: She must have been intended to be named No Pan (no panties) but her creators decided to go with something a lot less questionable No + wa. "No wa-" if you take in mind the Japanese pronouns means "of the-" or if quasi-Japanese "no wa-" (No what?). XD

Owen: Oxen. Goes well with the name of his wife.

WTF mom and dad! You named me after some essential Yaoi object?!

Rana...rather, Lana: "Anal" spelled backwards. 0_0;

Risty / Listy: Replace "I" with "U" and you get the idea. XD

= Names I can't comprehend =

Airi

Alleyne / Arein

Irma

MERF?

Melpha / Merfa


Bye for now! XDDD
