We've seen some dumb names before. "Some" meaning more-than-we-care-to-remember.

The dumbest one, to me, is Wakka. Associations with that sound....





Who's your pick?

A giant evil whale named "Sin". And maybe "Gau" since when you say that out loud, you sound like a complete moron.

Haha, true.

And when you could switch Garnet's name to Dagger in FFIX. I thought that was pretty stupid.

Wakka sounds like an slange for something... nasty.

I rembember that the meltdown disaster in Simcity 2000 was called GAU.

Final Fantasy the name itself is pretty strange eh? It was named becuse they thought it would be the last game...

Well if you do know the history of Squaresoft Final Fantasy for the NES was "going" to be there last game from the company, then in short it sold well in Japan and put them back in the business and they decided to carry on the series.

I'll have to say Butz as well. Some other character names are pretty bad aswell, but I don't really mind them. As for Butz, I never even used his real name in the game anyway.

Yikes, I thought Cecil was a cool name, although I will admit it sounds more like a females name ...

I personally pronounce it as "Ceh-cel" this kid I used to know would argue it's "Ceee-cil" which just sounds plain dumb if you ask me.

Cecilia is the female version, which sounds much more feminine. Think Simon & Garfunkle for a bit; you'll get the pronunciation.

I honestly didn't remember that Square gave us that many stupid names.

Yeah we had an arguement at school before about how to pronouce Sephiroth, i now say Sef-iroth where as before i said SeP-iroth and the same with a lot of names and words of towns, i just read half the name of the place/person and use that .

Indeed, the worst name in Final Fantasy.

Cloud wasnt all that great either.

And ever since viewing Toy Story, I have always disliked the name Cid. Imagine my struggle.
