Well, my knowledge of Japanese = non-existant, but I know that Merryweather (which is also commonly spelled "Merriweather" or "Meriwether") can be used as both a masculine and feminine name. Beyond that, I'm stumped. And I really want to know Cain's middle name too!

Oh, I didn't know that. ^^; Thank you.

... Whatever your OTP is, it's hot. o.o <3

*gringrin* This icon gets so much love from people - it's really spoiled! ;) Oh, and it's from the Love Mode manga, should you care to investigate further.

wasn't one of the fairy godmothers in Sleeping Beauty called Merriweather?

I think someone suggested Cornwall a while ago. There were reasons -- I think it's mentioned that he lives Cornwall Something in the chapter Kaori Yuki said had a hint or something. Er. And it starts with a C. So.

As for the rest? I use Merryweather (Merry for short), Judith, and Rifael because I think they're the prettiest of the options. Accuracy is for the weak. :D

I would use Suzette, though, not Shuzette. No idea why she picked shi-u instead of su, unless maybe su would be slurred too much and sound wrong?

[brainmuffin]

Yeah, that was my one guess. XD Cain Cornwall Hargreaves... not bad. I'm still thinking that perhaps it's not a name actually mentioned but something that's made reference to... *shrug*

*laughs* They are the prettiest.

Oh, I hadn't thought of Suzette. Could be. (... So confused @_@;;)

This is weird; I actually asked the middle name question a while back. I suggested "Cupcake", but I think Shati's right about "Cornwall", because he lived in Cornwall Castle. "Cupcake" could be his middle name if he were in prison

[brainmuffin]

... Cain Cupcake Hargreaves... *dies* And good strategy for Cain's infamous cousin ^^ As said above, Cornwall was all I could think of too XD I suppose it works

[brainmuffin]

... Does Cassian have a full name?

[michaela_judith]

You've got a good point about "Raffit".

I'd go with "Ay-da". I like that pronounciation better, anyway, and ee-da just is as...menacing. It's got a much harder sound that fits with the character.

I'm glad you think it's Cassian too. A few sites I've been to say "Cashian", which sounds like a peanut. That may be appropriate, but it's terrible.

I can't decide on Dominique's last name. A French site called "Poison" writes it "Clehadol", and I'd figure they'd know best, but they also say Cassian is "Kashan".

Hi, this is a long time lurker ^^

There seems to be a common consensus that meri-wueza = Merryweather in all the websites I've visited, I'd go with Merryweather, although I have very little knowledge of Victorian surnames.

I've always thought Rifu = Lief and not Riff (Riff sounds terribly like a dog's name to me). Liefael... may look a it weird, but 'Rifael' could be misprononced as 'rye-fael'.

As for Dominique's surname, I've tried to Google for a surname that fits the romanization, but couldn't find any. My best bet would be 'Claihadorr' or 'Crayhadorr'...

Hallo ^^

Mariiuezaa, actually. Meeriuezaa would make more sense, ne? ^^; But I don't suppose it's intended to be Marieweather... And yes, sites say one thing, but the manga says another ^^;

I'd agree with you but for that Dominique is French. His name is awful to romanize, though XD;

Again, his name is printed 'Riff' on all sorts of merchandise. ^^; Also, if you listen to the drama tracks, Cain's seiyuu is pretty decent at saying it 'Riff'. Also Lief is a very un-English name... Riff may not be a name, but it does sound English. XD (Liefael could be ly-fael.)

And really, isn't it rather appropriate to have Cain-sama's dear servant sound a bit like a pet? ^_~

[xxangel_wingxx]

Hmm...

I usually spell her name as Merryweather. Why? No reason XDDDDDD

I am usually very confused with the names of the characters >.>;;
