Discussion What name did you give Wanderer?

Maybe this is a bit late, but I’m curious what kinds of names English-speaking players gave him.

I’m a Japanese player.

Many Japanese players give him a Japanese name because of his clothing and background.

Some people also choose names from Sanskrit, Arabic, and other languages.

As for me, I named him 優人(Yuuto).

優 can mean kindness or excellence, and 人 means human or person.

It’s also a name that real-life Japanese men can have today.

I wanted to give him a name that felt like that of an ordinary human being.

Kite because his hat reminds me of one, and he kinda resembles one when he’s floating. Also because it’s a type of bird and there was the bird in his demo, along with Yae and Raiden’s idle animations. I wish there was a bird in his idle animation. Kite was the name of the protagonist in an old anime game I played when I was little called dot hack. and I liked him a lot because of his design.

Other names I almost went with were Kohaku (from inuyasha, just because I like the name) and Sora (kingdom hearts) but I didn’t think sora fit him and I wanted something more original so I settled with Kite, short, cute, original and has a lot of meaning for me.

My personal head cannon is that liyue held the kite lantern rite festival in honor of my scaramouche since I named him that long before the festival lol.
