I think her name will be Kris. Just like in G/S/C.

(I can imagine this be responded to in a negative way a lot of times). -__-

I'm going to guess it will be either Heart or Soul. Lame. :/

I like the name Kotone and Soul,I'll probably use both of those in each of the games.
Something musically would be nice now that it was brought up,maybe a unique one or one as simple as "Belle".

I think it'll either be Soul or Kris.

Or maybe they'll just keep it as Kotone.

I'm really hoping for the name Harmony (harmonizing musical voices or instruments). But Soul would be an awesome name for her to have, and even still, Kotone is an awesome name in itself - the sound of a harp. :) Anyway, I've heard lots of nice suggestions so far.

I will LOL if she gets named Kris, though.

I still think Soul. "Kotone" is just breaking the partial pattern. If she's replacing Kris, her name has to follow the pattern.

I'm just hoping they won't name her "Crystal" and confuse the Americans who don't keep up on all the information.
If anything then I'd like her to be called Soul because Kristen reminds me too much of Crystal.

Hm...

I have no clue tbh...

Kotone, Kristen, Melody, Harmony, all sound really good to me.

I actually laughed when GymLeaderLily said "Harper" (sorry Lily), but I guess that could work out too with some effort.
It doesn't sound right in my ears though. I didn't even know Harper was a first name at all?

The thing is, I can't really force myself to care that much about her. I'd only be playing as Gold (that's right. I'm not changing my mind about that!), so she would just be a small character anyways, and I wouldn't really give her much thought. I would call her whatever the game puked up for me (I just felt like saying that, pardon me), unless it's something really, really bad, in which case I'd just call her Kotone or Soul.

Spoiler: in my fan-fictions
Spoiler:
In my fan-made-super-manga (hasn't got a name) that I worked on a while (2006 - 2009), her name was Soul, but then, she had the nickname CopyCat, loved dolls, was from Saffron, and carried around a Doduo, a Chikorita, two Dittos and a Sudowoodo. So I basicly dashed two characters together and developed them.


So basicly, this post just constates the case so far. I guess I just hope we will be happy when the actual english name actually gets puked out (sorry, couldn't resist :cer_tongue:).

She DOES look like an Amy lol!

I wanna see her named Irene! but that wouldn't work very well lol

Rooting for Melody in this case.

It's okay. I assume you haven't seen a show called Wizards of Waverly Place. One of the characters on that show has that name. I didn't hear of that name up until that show first aired. That's where I got the name from. XD

Since both Hibiki and Kotone's names mean sound, maybe their dub names will be "sound" related? Like how Dawn and Lucas' Japanese names mean light as well as their English names.



HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! :D (My first post of 2010!)

"Lucas" means "Light"..?

In this case, let's have the girl named Melody (sounds better than Harmony imo) and the dude can be Harper :P

Actually.. naming her Kristen would fit, and I wouldn't mind. xD

It sounds close enough to Crystal to not be too random.

I'm guessing it's going to be Soul. The closest character to Kotone is Leaf, whose name related to the games in the same way that Soul does.

I googled "Kotone" and this is what I found:
Harp and sound; noise. The koto is a traditional Japanese plucked stringed musical instrument.
So im guessing its either Harmony or Melody or maybe they will stick with Kotone or maybe even Soul. Who knows...

Probably Harper or Harmony.

My ingame name is Harper so I'd prefer that.
