I think I'm going to name my Prince Faroush/Farush. I was considering doing the word "sun" in another language, but most of them are based on the root word "sol" which is already used a lot in the game. Plus, I like how Faroush/Farush sound!

| Well, not to burst all of your bubbles, but it's "Falshe", because it's a combination of both his parents names, or at least that's what King said in the King Blog. |

Oh really, I thought it was Sol though. You know, Sol is 'sun' in Latin.
If it's really Falsche, sounds pretty weird to me though. Because in IV we got 'Lazlo' a name that I did not expect. Wow, the developers seem to be very creative. |

| I think i will end up calling the prince ouji or King since a prince can become a king except in this case or i just name him King after King for making this great game. |

| Well, Falshe isn't the "official name", but it's just the nickname King gave, and so he put it on the special memory card. That may be is official name someday, but right now, it was not confirmed to be that. |

| King said the memory card name was ファルーシュ and DMX or jainsafel at suikosource translated it as Falshe (at least that's the impression I got) |

L0l, actually, Falsche isn't too bad. I actually tried a search for the name "Faroush" and found out that it means "dead coral which comes in striated slabs." ^^; (from http://catnaps.org/islamic/glossary.html) |

I think Falshe would do a great name, it's original and when you pronnounce it, it's like mysterious and punchy. I guess every hero's name should be alittle punchy, just because it makes a huge difference because you that when you say the name or read the name... you'll know that your main character is important. Prince Falshe... (False.... :shock: ) Nah... It sounds cool. (Fal-shhh... Fal-shay)....

| If it was a combination of Felid and Arshtat, shouldn't it be Farsh (Farshe)? That doesn't really go with the long vowel in Faruushu, but if it was Farushu, it'd be perfectly okay. |

So the prince's official name (according to the novel) is meant to be Freyjadour or Freyadour. With Frey as a sorta nickname.
The novel on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4840235716
And a thread at suikosource about it:

| The name itself is a combination of the Norse mythology "Freyja" (who happens to be the wife of the Norse sun deity) and the French ending "dour" which means "person." So the name makes sense in a way, because the prince comes from a family that owns the Sun rune, and thus are "human representatives of the sun." So I'd say a good name would be "Freyjadour Falenas" while his nickname would be "Frey." |
Personally I like the name, Freyjadour is a bit long but I like his nickname and it's likely what I'll call the Tenkai from now on. Having a mythological reason behind the name is nice too. |

Frey sounds good to me too.
Freyjadour isn't hard to remember if you split them up, but writng Frey saves time then writing the full name.
Makes me wonder if the previous heros have meanings behind their choosen names. Excluding the heroes of Suikoden III of course.

Hmm...good timing, I guess. I will probably buy SV soon, and I was wondering how to name the Hero and the resolution is here. I like the nickname : "Frey" very much but Freyjadour seem weird to me : melting norse with French? But I must admitt that Freyjadour Falenas is somewhat catchy - I mean the name fit with the surname.

And it's Acheron for the win. Page three I looked back and I saw that I had posted about the name of my hero being Frey. I've never done this before but I think Konami is watching me post here on SuikoX and they're just taking my advice. Yeah, that's what's happening.
I think Freyjadour is too long. I'll use it in my next playthrough (which may be sometime in the distant future) and maybe they will abbreviate it in the game. That would be a neat easter egg. Sweet, I called it! |

So we finally have a name from the novel?
Freyjadour is quite a funny name, and I don't know how it is pronounced as well. But it looks good.
And his nickname, Frey, reminds me of FF9's Freya. :P
