Aeolus is mor to do with wind. Helios, sun.

Kind of figured that out already.   

[Flame]

Well some people might not. what if they're severely dyslexic?

[Hypershell]

I need to stop breathing

Or just be thankful for the stability that is Nitrogen.

[Zan]

You haven't answered my question.

I have, in a rhetoric fashion.

[megaman24681012]

I have, in a rhetoric fashion.

Hahaha! 

That's awsome! 

[Bag of Magic Food]

I wouldn't call it "awesome"; I'd call it "brusque".

[Tickle Buffalo]

HO HO HO LOOK HOW EVASIVE I AM

Whatever dude.

[Zan]

It means "No." By the very mention of wiki you should have realized thematic naming applies to the character; thematic naming dictates a set name for the mythological ruler of the wind. You don't change that. You can only change the theme you base the name on, not the name itself. As such, he's Helios in Rockman, Aeolus in MegaMan. The theme changed because they felt it more appropiate for the Wind MegaMan to be named after the god of winds instead of the god of the sun.

Beyond that, you seem to be fairly against the use of AE with any other vowel... AE is a common combination of vowels in latin that make a specific sound (Caesar, Aeolus). That specific sound is often abbreviated into a vowel of its own: Æ æ (Cæsar, Æolus).  As you complain about the combination of ÆO, despite it being no more complicated than AO or EO, you only show your lack of familairity with the latin language and even that of English (Archaeology, Archæology).

[Tickle Buffalo]

Not liking a specific combination of sounds = not familiar with English.

Right on!



ps if you think it's impossible for anyone to legitimately dislike a name you are insane

sorry

pps or is it just me? because if it's just me that's not allowed to dislike things i am going to be VERY UPSET

[Zan]

It's just a name, there's nothing to like or dislike about it. It is just happens to have existed for milennia and been related to a certain theme. If you want to complain here, take it up with the romans and the entire concept of thematic naming.

Not liking a specific combination of sounds = not familiar with English.

Right on!

Beyond your use of oversimplification... considering how the combination of ÆO has like three or more different manners of pronouncing between English, classical latin and other languages, that is exactly the case. If you were familiar with how to pronounce it and didn't like it one way, you would have just used the other.

And if you didn't get it at this point, I am in fact shooting you down because of your insistence of having your own rhetoric question answered in non-rhetoric fashion.

[Tickle Buffalo]

You're going to have a hard time naming children if you ever have any.

"Honey, how about Rachel? I like that name."
"BEEP BOOP I CANNOT LIKE OR DISLIKE NAMES"

[Zan]

Naming children does not equal thematic naming.

And if you didn't get it at this point, I am in fact shooting you down because of your insistence of having your own rhetoric question answered in non-rhetoric fashion.

[Tickle Buffalo]

But... I never said I didn't like it for thematic reasons. I just don't like the way it sounds. Is that allowed or not? Because if disliking names for children is allowed I don't see why disliking names for video game characters isn't.


In fact y'know what don't bother answering that. I don't think anyone's getting anything out of this conversation. I'm certainly not. It was kinda funny earlier but now it's just terrible.

[Satoryu]

this argument ain't getting anywhere. you don't have to stop arguing, but you can't do it here.
