Oh, Imani is a great name! I love it!
I think Niyol is okay, but I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
Nezumi [s]Jessica[/s] is just really hard to name.

I'm kinda reading this secretly in the middle of class so I'll
read everything properly again in a few hours and answer it, but
I really wanted to comment on @Vox's reference to Jericho. It's
kinda of a weird name to choose, don't you think? Been a while
since I studied the Hebrew Bible, but if I remember correctly,
after being completely destroyed it was cursed so that whoever
rebuilds it will have his eldest die at the beginning of the
building process, and his youngest at the end of it. It did
happen to someone in the end, btw. Not the most fun city in the
Bible.... Wouldn't want to name my city after Jericho ^^

@AoYokai actually, that's why I'm interested in it. I want to
know why the author of the fic chose it. Like, is there some
reference going on that I don't understand? And it sounds nice.
I mean, it's a nice word. [s]welp, it's good that shion and
nezumi can't make kids anyway[/s]

Just kiddin'! I know the joke gets old... but well... I like
Mao. XD I should draw another Mao doujin...but I don't have any
ideas... I'm just so exhausted. >,<
Ah... concerning Jericho... did you try and ask the author? ^^ I
mean there should be a possibility to contact them when the
story is still online.

@Ahiku I meant it's a good thing they can't have kids because
they're rebuilding a city called Jericho. So if what AoYokai
said is right, they're doomed to lose their firstborn and
lastborn children for doing so. That would be terrible. No kids
is better than dead kids xD
Also, I probably should ask the author... I'll see if I can
contact them. :3

So, I'm going to reply by the order I read so it might sound
weird.
@listenforthelove oh, if it's youmin that makes more sense...
also (I don't know if there's anyone who speaks Chinese here, if
you do excuse my very limited knowledge, American schools are
not very good at teaching languages) for youming the only word
*I* know in Chinese that would fit would be 有名,
which is famous. And if Sasori means scorpion, than he's like
Nezumi yay my theory was saved :D
I know that they didn't rename the city because it was easier,
but rebuilding the city in general is a hard thing so I don't
think that renaming the city is that much of an effort in
comparison...
[s]i had a weird dream with elephants in cages and they had huge
eyes they were pitch black and it wasn't cute it was terrifying
also it was somehow within ffx don't question my dreams[/s]
Anyway, I said it before and I'll say it again- my personal
headcanon is that Forest People didn't have names at all.
@Vox you said on tumblr that you had Persian accent right
(tumblr is blocked on school wifi and I didn't have time to log
in at home yet sorry for not replying) does that mean that you
speak Farsi? 'cause that would make it easier for me to explain
how Jericho doesn't sound cool at all in my opinion, it's
actually a pretty ugly name for listeners that don't have the
same sounds as Semitic and Indo-Eurpoean languages have. German
is Indo-European too, so @Ahiku and @lawlya and whoever else is
from Germany should be able to understand it... Anyway the
pronunciation is 'Yericho', the ch being that throaty sound that
I can't explain with English letters, it's like h I guess but
not really? German has some type of that, too. It sounds like
something is stuck in your throat.
Yes that was talented attempt to explain language. I'll look
into the origin of the name some more...
EDIT: Yericho comes from the word 'Yareach' in Hebrew
(ירח) which means moon. It was called that
because the people who lived there worshiped the good of the
moon in the Canaanite religion. I doubt that the author of that
fic went that far to research this, though ^^

Yeah, this "Ch" sound is...like getting rid of something in your
throat.
It's some kind of raspy sound in the back of the throat.
Well, you can listen to the German pronounciation of Jericho

I already talked about it but I did write a lot so you might
have missed it: first, was Rou an Elder when he came to the
underground city place?
Second, many people talk about Eve's name in relation to the
Bible, especially with Shion's snake scar, but what about the
rest of The Fall of Man? You know what, since this analysis is
not that related to the names, I think I'll open a separate
analysis thread for that. It'll be up in a moment....
