Masamune or Grandleon?

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Just a thought. Delete the thread if not good.

I had never thought about being able to name it ourselves...  That's actually a great idea!  You could name one child, then the other (before finding out they were the Dream species that combines into the Masamune)... and then when they combine ("With ____'s bravery, and ____'s mind...") they become ____________!

Not a shabby idea...

I voted for Masamune. Japanese folklore is the bomb.

Really? You think the legendary sword should be made by one of the best swordsmiths around? (Fits now since Melchior is a good swordsman)

SD: Ugh, that seemed accusatory. Thing is, it wasn't.

[x_XTacTX_x]

Well, considering that it was made by the best swordsmith in the Chronoverse, just as the Masamune was made by the revere swordsmith Masamune in the legend, I think it fits really well.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

True, that can work, but what about those people who don't like either name?

Wow, I'm the only one who voted for Grandleon? That's fine, I guess...Personally I think Masamune is an awesome name for a sword, but it's always given off a katana vibe...I don't know why. Grandleon though, that sounds like some epic broadsword.

You're probably thinking FF7. Whenever I tell anyone about Masamune, that's where they think it's a katana.

Edit: Also, Masamune is the best idea. Otherwise such an epiuc thing is going to turn into a madlib.
With Poo's bravery, and Pie's mind, they become Poopie!
...
C'mon! You know since it's a kid's game someone would be immature enough to do that!
Either that or they'd pick names that make no sense together not realizing they merged into one...
With Flareman's bravery, and Coldbreath's mind, they become... Flaremancoldbreath?

I can see where you're coming from, but I suggested that in case someone didn't like it being called "Masamune" or "Grandleon"

Maybe if someone made it Excalibur. "Exca" and "Libur" would be awesome.

[ONSLAUGHT]

Now THAT would be a good one. Maybe we'd even see King Arthur enter and have a sword duel with Frog then! Now that would be epic!

[V_Translanka]

I think Ex & Calibur would be better (I once had a character with an axe & a knife of those names, respectively...oh yeah, that was for Project ZEAL!) for that scenario...Though I think Excalibur is overused & tacky sounding. I pretty much feel the same way with the Masamune...and the reason it gives off a "katana" vibe is because the legendary sword was a katana...or a wakizashi or whatever...in that family anyways, idk exactly...but it wasn't a damn broad sword.

Grandleon FTW because originality rules & I want what it's supposed to be, not whatever trite sword name the translator decides to give me...go Purism! >_<

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Grandleon FTW

YAY!!!

...go Purism!

Uhh... no.

[Acacia Sgt]

I like Grandleon better. The name Masamune for the sword didn't seem well to me. I always think of katanas with this name, and no, no Final Fantasy game gave me that way of thinking, it's the origin itself. Masamune's swords were katanas, so it fits if they name a katana as Masamune, but not a sword with a western design, like the Grandleon.

...go Purism!

Uhh... no.

I was being mostly sarcastic...Though I am, when it comes to translations anyways, more of a purist...

There's a localization here. Shall I burn it?
