Ahiko is a japanese name that means beloved child. Not that I planned it that way, but I really do like the name, because it does reflect upon the story a bit. I have also met a little kid with that name too while I was working at the museum, and it was so FREAKING COOL!
Rokuzo, Enossa, Nasen. Well, I usually make up names so they don't really have a real world equilivent.
Nasen was derived from the name Norin. I really liked that name, but Norin was used in a Sci-fi short I wrote a while back, so I decided to change it up and reapply it.
Enossa is the elongated name for Eno, which my boyfriend suggested. Its actually really cute when he asks to name some of my charaters, and he does come up with some cool names.
Rokuzo. Oh, I don't really remember how I came up with this name. I think I was just throwing clusters around until I though it sounded cool, and something that would fit in his world. Although, even though the naming process was well, unstructured, I did have some basis to my method. I wanted to derive the name from the word Rose (Japanese katakana rozu), as I have always seen this character as the duality of a rose. Beautiful and elegant, but rough and dangerous. His nice name does hail back to his name sake, Rozu.
Spider Lily or Lillian, was based off the flower and the belief that the flower brings death. Her code name, being the death flower, and her real name, which is comparably plain.
Polyphaga His real name to me is unknown, but his code name is based off of a vast beetle family. This is due to he fascination of bug shaped arcane constructs. Although I has not shown initally in my comic so far, in past iterations he did have small beetle bombs. (which i want to bring back)
