Posted May 16, 201510 yr Hey all! Most of the nobodies all have an "X" in their name. Sora-> RoXas and Lea-> AXel But what about Namine? I aint no English expert, but i cannot identify a X in her name. And it was revealed that (SPOILER) Namine is Kairi's Nobody. So why is there no X in her name? Was it because she was not named by Organization XIII? Thanks!
May 16, 201510 yr Yep, exactly! She wasn't a member of the Organisation and therefore has no X in her name. Peace!
May 16, 201510 yr Well, what really bothers me is that Namine's name is different from Kairi's. If Namine is Kairi's nobody, then why does it have different letters? I clearly see no N,M,or E in Kairi's name. ( Ha! N.M.E.! That's a reference to something Right Back at Ya!) What's the meaning of this?

And "né" means "born" in French. So Naminé's name can be translated into "born from a wave" which fits in to the water theme going on in Kairi's name, which is derived from the Japanese word "Kai" meaning "ocean." :)Peace!
May 16, 201510 yr you act like nobodies are just magically given names a name is just a name it just so happened Xemnas gave Organization members names that's literally it

Exactly what Sakaki said. Both Kairi's and Namine's names have to do with water, so that's the connection between their names.

It's "the sound of waves" in Japanese (there are a few bits of wordplay on this in the novels; the accented é in English is just there as a pronunciation aid), probably referring to her status as Kairi's "shadow".

Fun fact that Namine and Shion have much in common. Namine in japanese can mean 'sound of the waves' or "波の音 - Nami no ne"While Xion's can be written as 'Shio-on' in japanese - or '潮音' which means 'sound of the tide' But yes, Namine's name does not have an X in it - and as for Xion's name her/his name was a very clever name thought up by Square Enix since it can mean 'Sound of the tide' plus 'No.i and X'

May 16, 201510 yr It's amazing how much thought was put into Xion's name. Peace! ikr? Now if only square enix made more effort to make newer KH characters with original faces instead of having cloned characters around ~ that'd be great
May 16, 201510 yr Nami = wave ne = sound Her name translates to ``sound of the wave`` or ``born form the wave`` Kairi`s name means sea/ocean ikr? Now if only square enix made more effort to make newer KH characters with original faces instead of having cloned characters around ~ that'd be great they have the same face BECAUSE they are kairi...or memories of kairi
May 16, 201510 yr I think it's Org XIII's thing to throw an X in. They're the only one's we seen use that system, anagram and an X right? Also KittensOnFire ^ already explained the origin of her name, I think it suits.

But what about Namine? I aint no English expert, but i cannot identify a X in her name.
And it was revealed that (SPOILER) Namine is Kairi's Nobody. So why is there no X in her name?
Was it because she was not named by Organization XIII?
Thanks!
