Hope this isn't a pointless topic to make.

Which last name is your favorite? Branford, Cole, Figaro, Garamonde, Chere, Gabbiani, Magus, or Arrowny?

I hope I didn't miss any.

This does NOT include the non-playable character or temporary character last names, like Palazzio and such.

I like Branford. And Arrowny and Magus.

How about you?

Sorry I keep making so many "Favorite" topics...

I like Chere (Sounds like Cherie)
Figaro (Sounds like an opera FIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!)
Then there's Branford, it's different which makes a perfect match for Tina's situation in this game!
By the way I like Favorites topics! They make people ignite in healthy debates and they learn all the time! Pointless? NAH!!!!!!

Wow, thanks!

Those are good choices, too.

I love Celes' last name, too. Apparently, it's French (and I did look it up in a dictionary during my french class) for "dear". Phonetically, it's pretty awesome and helps her full name flow well.

Have you ever heard of The Marriage of Figaro? It's an opera.

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

My favorites are Magus (rightful reference by me to Chrono trigger, YESSS!!!)
and Arrowny, because it has the word arrow in it, part of my favorite weapon too!

I also semi-enjoy Gabbiani and Branford for being different than a usual sounding last name

Ive always tried to make up last names for mog, umaro, and gogo...
(First attempts were that of Gogo Hojo, Umaro's was near impossible, and simply Mog Moogle...hehe)

FIgaro, it fits Edgar and sounds royal enough

I like Magus, it just sounds mysterious and powerful . I like Locke's last name, Cole, also because it's an ordinary last name to fit someone who doesn't want to be noticed and remembered he just wants to steal stuff... I mean find treasure.

Figaro is lol.
but i like it

--------------------

I will be there...

Cool choices.

I think the last names fit the first names pretty well.

Id pick Magus because its probably the best last name in VI and also because its the name of my favorite character in Chrono Trigger.

Id say Arrowney, then Branford then Garamonde.

When I first saw Branford I was kind of double-takey. It seems so English and ordinary. Then I decided I loved it for that reason. (Aeris totally copied the English ordinary theme btw).

But who can resist GABBIANI. I mean, really. Just say it. GABBIANI.

I believe it's Italian for seagull. XD

I like that one, Chere, and Figaro. I like Magus as a name, but I really don't like Strago so meeeh.

Yeah, they do.


How do you pronounce "Chere"? Is it like "Sheer" or "Share"?

According to this page (and there's the pronunciation for it by the section from the Oxford Dictionary), it says you say it like "share" which is what I always assumed. "Sheer" sounds a bit odd with her first name anyway.

--------------------

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

i always thought it was like "share" because it's like Sonny and Cher.

Edit

yes i just used Sonny and Cher as a reference but whatever

I never knew their last names. Hmmm. All of them have a pretty nice ring to them.

I'll say Gabbiani + Garamonde

Ah, okay. That's what I thought. Thanks very much.

i was always interested in Relm's last name, Arrowny, and where exactly she obtained it. I don't want to reveal any spoilage, but considering a few subplots within the game, her entire character has always left me curious about her past. I suppose her last name is definitely linked to that

- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

I'd pick Branford then Figaro, and then Gabbiani.
1: Branford is really cool" And Terra's my fav!) ANd it so girly sounding!
2: Figaro is royal and sounds like its from the past- I love old things, like history! And the
castle is located in a desert, has to be the hottest place for a handsome man to live!
3: Gabbiani reminds me of two things; Freinds- Joey's last name and Irvine from FFVIII.

All real cool names though!

Isn't it soooo Cute!?

Those are interesting connections...why does the name remind you of Irvine? His last name is Kinneas, or something like that.

--------------------

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

Because Setzer looks like a ladies man...And Irvine is a ladies man. I personally love them both, though.

Garamonde, seriously, sounds like a blue mountain or something.
