For me, it'll be Eros. The hero's mother is named Arshtat, which is probably a variation on the Ancient Semitic goddess Astarte, better known as the Eastern Semitic goddess Ishtar. In the ancient Semitic religion, she was worshipped as the daughter of the Sky and the Earth (in Greek mythology, Uranus and Gaia), and the goddess of love, sexuality, fertility and, um... war. :? Anyway, her largest center of worship was in Cyprus, and she eventually spread to Greece, where she was called Aphrodite.

Aphrodite/Astarte had nine children according to Greek mythology, seven daughters called the Titanides and two sons, whose names were Pothos and Eros. Eros is the much more well-known one; we know him in Western Civilization as Cupid.

Thus, the son of Arshtat will be named Eros.

That's very interesting. I didn't even know that.

I will probably name my hero Irvine, like I always do. I just seem to like that name (though I greatly dislike the character Irvine in FFVIII).

I will probably name mine Mark after myself. I usually name every hero that, and I don't feel like changing it this time around.

Gonna name him Lucifer. I know, it strays from the Highlander series names I normally go with, but Lucifer is Latin for "Morning Star." It came from the Greek word "Eosphorous," of the same meaning. Eos is the goddess of the dawn as well, so I think it works out, if he really does own the Rune of the Dawn.

Maybe "Ouji" because, of course, that's what they address him as in the trailer. As most of you know, it simply means "Prince," so it's quite appropriate. And it looks cool.

But who knows...I'll probably name him after myself...it's very effective at getting my attention. ;)

Ouji sounds like a good idea,
I may use that myself.

But the first thing in my head is Tyro.

It strikes me as a Suikoden kinda name,
and it is latin for a young soldier, or talented novice.

I think that fits the kinda character that the Hero usually is.

Well I named Lazlo as "Roke" beacuse I was reading His Dark Materials at the time and I thought it sounded nifty.

For Suikoden V I'll probably call him Xu

I will be as creative as I always am when naming my Suikoden Heroes, and go with 'Troy' (I tend to go with my own name for a variety of RPG's, but it has been a constant re-occurrence for these games.) Now that I know my name has/will go down in Suikoden history (as it finally appeared in Suikoden 4) I not even think twice when being prompted with what name I desire for my Hero.

I'm going to name my character...well i usually keep the names that have been given, but if prompted (like Hero4) ill probable end up naming him Azazer. i really like the sound of it. If not, my second favorite name, Lucifer. Or if my Bleach craze wins over i might name him after one of them. I don't know. I have to wait and see.

Maybe Felid II, Joking. I'll probaly call Hero V Alonzo (My Nickname) or maybe some kind of name relating to the sun.

Master Bunny, Bunny if not enough space, or even make it sound more sillier and give him the name Bun.

Or just be more serious and name him Rah or Ray.

Really, the names for me will change hundred times before the official (not that official) name is set/given.
