Intersting Name Connections
#1
I was looking up Japanese names of some characters and I sound something quite interesting.

Xion, the female nobody from Kingdom Hearts with a mysterious past, seems to be named after a flower. Also spoilers for 358/2 Days.

[spoiler]Xion's name in Japanese (apparently) can be translated as Shion. Shion (more commonly know as Aster Tataricus) is used in Hanakotoba (Japanese flower language) to say something like "I will not forget you" or "You will be remembered." In the game, Xion was made from Sora's memories. Her name may also be a cruel irony of her (then) fate. To be forgotten by everyone who ever met her.

So what do you think?

I would like to reuse this in the future if I find other name connections that may be interesting trivia.
