Why does Lyra call Dawn, Dane?

[austin00081]

My guess is that it's foreshadowing the name of one of the new main characters from the 5th gen games.

Any thoughts?

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. I know when they first met, Lyra was like, "So, are you ready, Dane?" then she winks. I wonder if Lyra just said that on purpose or she didn't hear her clearly, I'm just not sure why at this moment...

 

[JP]

I think she just likes to call her that rather than using "Dawn", probably because she originally misheard her name. Highly doubt it's any type of foreshadowing, more likely just an added sense of humor.

I think Lyra just diddnt hear Dawn properly

 

[Kobold Asylum]

Maybe Lyra has an accent? Or maybe it has something to do with Dawns clone. ( I saw a Screen shot with a Dawn look alike princess and Dawn.

I think Lyra just diddnt hear Dawn properly

I don't think so ... Dawn said her name several times and Lyra still called her Dane xD
I think she was doing it on purpose ;P

 

[Okami Chi]

I think the writers of Pokemon just gave Lyra a cheap gimmick. Other than that, no idea. In fact, I think it's border line stupid.

[Mew~]

Im pretty sure it was somthing to be with her accsent or maybe she really just doesnt like dawn XD

I believe Lyra called Dawn "Dane" for the same reason why Kotone called Hikari "Hikarin" in the Japanese version.

It's a nickname.

 

[Celest8]

I believe it to be a nickname as well. I can't think of any other reason. It doesn't really make any sense, but oh well. I did hear that in the Japanese version, Kotone has a little line that she says, poking fun at her own name. "Koto ne?" Maybe that's her little gimmick in the English version. ^^

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

Probably a nickname for Dawn, or maybe she misheard her name.

 

[Aquerex]

Maybe she just never got around to actually learning Dawn's name? Now that would be rude.

Or maybe it's just a nickname for her.

 

[StarGirl]

I believe Lyra called Dawn "Dane" for the same reason why Kotone called Hikari "Hikarin" in the Japanese version.

something do with cyndaquil burned her hair much like that nickname pika pikari and something do with plusle and minun

That pretty much sums up my sentiments. Probably should read too much into it.

 

[Shedinjareese]

Do you think it has anything to do with why the other characters call her DD? Did we ever find out why people she knew call her that? Dane Dawn is DD...

 

[loliwin]

Maybe Lyra has a hearing disorder

Nah, i think its just some nickname to make the kids laugh. XD

 

[Izanagi]

Or a nickname remarking on her preppish, girlish nature.

 

[The Girl Once named Tracie]

she thinks it's cute and makes her sound very witty

 

[chikorita125]

maby she just didn't hear the name properly

 

[Lyra Soul]

I think she doesn't know how to pronounce Dawn's name.
