Cara, that girl from FFV. Mainly because "Cara" can mean 2 things in Spanish:
1) Face
2) Expensive (female adjective)


Cloud is also pretty stupid, Wakka reminds me of Chewaka, from Star Wars, and Yuffie reminds me of a dog.

Yeah, Yuffie does remind me of a pet name . Wakka is a weird one. It kind of reminds me of the word walk or something..he's walka walking..or something . When I first saw Clouds name in FF7 I started bursting out laughing. I kept on thinking of clouds in the sky.

Sorry to all Tidus fans out there, but when i first heard about FF and i heard his name i thought that the name was a big corny

But my thoughts have changed and i like most the main characters names

As bad a name as "Butz" is, the English version's "Bartz" was worse, in my opinion.

In fact, I generally hated every name in Square's official English translation of Five.

I pronounce Yuffie as "YOO-fee". But if it's meant to be "YUFF-ee", that's a pretty stupid name. And I agree that Cecil should be "CEH-sl" and not "SEE-sil", even though I know of a few SEE-sils myself.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Galuf. God what an awful name. Why?

The thread also reminded me how much I hated the name Marche. What a... sissy name. And I like the french language even!

I thought the "official" name in FF5 is Bartz, not Butz. The unofficial translation was wrong.

I thought it was the offical name (as long as offical means japenese version), but Square-US thought that "Butz" was stupid and changed it, or at least thats what I thought.

Doesn't matter. Squaresoft changed it to "Bartz", therefore it's the official name.


As for the worst name, how about Lulu? Not only does she dress like a ho, but she has a really stupid name.

Gau and Cecil. Sorry if that's your name, but I don't feel like it's a good name for a male main character.

Actually Wakka is my favorite. It means "water"; specifically drinkable water, in Ainu (as in Japan's northernost city Wakkanai, 'river of pure water'). It's appropriate for the character and is only the second Ainu-culture reference I've ever seen in a Square game.

(Which means it's trivia time: what's the other one? This one would be worth quite a few points!)
