Bah, had I known when I first played the game that it would hold any kind of significance I would have left it as is, but FROM A FRESH PLAYER PERSPECTIVE "Orion" is indeed an atrocious name, more fit for someone born 150 or hell 2000 years ago than someone contemporary to us.
Can you really blame me (or anyone else) for calling it a bad name and changing it as soon as I saw it?
I wouldn't go that far. Uncommon, sure. But atrocious? In an era where a kid named "X Æ A-Xii" exists?

I dunno man, I'd rather take the antiquated name that some people in the modern day are named with over something that sounds either overdone (i.e. John, Bill, Tim) or completely unpronounceable or just a string of letters that don't make any sense.

To clarify, the problem isn't really with the MC. As you say, MC works. The problem is when rename the LI's and then come to the thread asking about (Custom Name).
Yes but very very few games allow to rename LI's, and I don't know why you'd want to do that. To RP with girls you know?

I have seen people say that they'll rename LI's who are named the same as people they hate etc.
I would rather do it the other way around: If a LI has the same name as a person I can't stand, give it a different name so I'm not reminded of that unpleasant person.

That doesn't exactly help the argument, that name ("X Æ A-Xii" ) is ugly as sin and should not exist period, I pity the child that got it.
Yeah Orion is better obviously in this case, and perhaps atrocious is not the correct adjective for it, unusual doesn't cut it either but something similar or close to that. Point is that not even the greeks (contemporary ones) use that name anymore, it simply stopped being used like thousands others across history (just think latin ones you often see in roman graffiti not being used anymore) and seeing one being used in a modern setting is weird to say the least (never mind that it doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely as others), mind you that I am talking about a normal human being named that (Orion), Calypso for instance being a fantasy creature and being named that doesn't sound weird at all

Point still stands that - uncommon as it may be - the name is still in use in the modern day. Maybe not in Greece, sure (could be wrong on that one but eh). But Americans (which was Orion's original nationality before he moved to Europe and then back again thanks to the exchange program) still use it.








This is just a few I've found but...you get the point.

Just know that in greek and latin Nova means new.... ;)
New in greek is ''Neo'' spelled "Νέο" in Greek alphabet. I think the word ''Nova'' doesn't exist in Greek

Bonus knowledge:
''Alex'' spelled ''Αλέξ" means to ''defend'' or ''protect'' in Greek. Full name Alexandra=Alex + andra
''Andras'' spelled ''Ανδρας'' in Greek means ''man''
Therefore ''Alexandra'' means The protector of man or Defender of man
