my thoughts on Xion.

That's the Roman god of the sea.
Poseidon is the Greek one.

They're pretty much the same person, though.

Well, Poseidon (later known as Neptune by, I believe, the Romans) is the Greek God of the Sea. There is no definitive Greek Goddess of the Sea (that I know of, could be wrong). Leucothea, who is the goddess form of Ino (a mortal queen), is a Greek goddess of the sea. She just aids sailors or something.

Just because Leucothea is connected to Ino does not mean that Ino has any better of a chance at being Xion's real name. First of all, none of the names so far in KH are connected to Greek mythology. Second of all, the name meanings in KH are general (for instance, Sora means Sky, not some specific god of the sky from a random mythology). And third, obviously, Ino is not the Greek goddess of the sea. Leucothea is as different as being an altogether different being. Some people say that Ino turning into Leucothea reflects "Ino" turning into Xion. But no. If the whole "name has a connection to the sea, therefore she is connected to Kairi" idea bears true, then Xion's name would not be Xion. It would be... Lexucothea... or something.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was Rome.

Since they share the same gods with different names though, I guess it doesn't make much difference, like you said.

Wow. Two explanations in one go. Thanks.

Okay, I've seen these Xion=Aqua/Ion/Ino/Oni theories for a minute and never thought anything of them. Now something has occured.

Okay, for 3 seconds, let's say that Xion IS Aqua's nobody or some retarded shit like that. Then wouldn't Xion's name have Latin descent considering Aqua's does?

[Cissy]

[strike]Well, Roxas doesn't sound very Japanese.[/strike]

Maybe? It's hard to tell what Nomura's going to do.

Roxas doesn't have to, Sora does.
Xion doesn't have to sound Latin, the i-o-n combo should

[Gabo]

No, i'm saying why is everyone forgetting >:[

We're not basing anything on him calling her the friend though, anymore, I believe

I think Roxas is actually a french name.
Aqua's name is Latin, that's why I said " wouldn't it be in Latin providing [insert retarded scnario]?"

[Cissy]

Mickey sounds...Itallian.

I don't feel like looking it up.

Or maybe I will...

EDIT: lol, nope. It's American.

[Audo]

If Xion is just an alias it doesn't REALLY matter what her name minus the x means.

[Cissy]

The alias would be important though, because if it is an alias, it's hiding her real name.

[Audo]

What should be more important is why she would be using an alias, not necessarily the alias itself.

[Cissy]

Xemnas may have named her.

[Audo]

Xemnas may have done a lot of things :O
xDDDDDDD.
If she isn't a Nobody, and is actually a complete being, and Xemnas let her into the Org for whatever reason it could have been him that gave her the cloak and a fake name.
But of course the thing is we dont know why Xemnas was do such a thing, which kind of makes it seem like he wouldn't. Yet. =/

Xemnas would already know her name. He knew Sora's[Roxas'] name when he woke up in TT.
