    Ha! Emotion... nice. Meh, not good in English, what do you expect? =P But yeah, some of them are real names though. There are some pretty dumb North American names too... or English names, whatever.

    i think they pick out names like Emotion, Pinky, Kingdom, etc... and stuff, is b/c chinese names have names like Emotion, or sometimes nicknames like Pinky, Pighead, etc... so then they do the same for English names also, but then it turns out weird.... @_@

    i think the actors/actresses are trying to be unique...i mean if everyone of them has the same English name then it won't make them stand out and the ppl won't remember their names as well as getting them mixed up with other ppl. also i think most of their names are pretty creative and cute.

    Wats wrong with Elva? sounds good to me.. and whats wrong with having unique names? Names mean alot to ppl.. n it isnt nice saying that ppl's names are stupid. If you ask me.. mystery and shy aren't exactly smart user names either.

    Hellguard, I literally said exactly what you said when I saw the show last week. I had to ask my parents what the chinese title was because Pillow Case of Mystery sounds like a porno (or a children's book :p)

    Some of the names are not weird at all.

    Alec - real name example Alec Bladwin
    Gallen - real name too, originated from a priest
    Myolie - has Japanese background to it
    Endy - real name, Spanish origin
    Gillian - real name example Gillian Anderson from the "X-Files"
    Elva - real name, originated from a town in Europe
    Bosco - Real name, ever heard of Don Bosco

    ^ On Bosco:

    There's difference between a first name and a last name... -whistle

    And I thought Myolie is derive from the name of that seed (杏)... Guess I am mistaken... -unsure
