It is fitting if Nojiko gave them their names, which is another reminder that the old story about the two siblings is complete quark. Whatever happened back then must be sifferent to what we know. Not for nothing Nika is researching what really happened.
That is correct, but it is a girl´s nickname and that is the version I hear normally. Nika for a boy is unusual. Niko (short for Nikolaus) would be more often heard for boys.
Merry Christmas to you too
So in Germany you name your boys as Nika which is a nickname to Anika which is a name given to girls???
As I wrote in an earlier post, Nika for a boy is very rare in Germany. You hear far more often Niko/Nick/Niklas instead of Nika when it comes to boys names. Nika is almost always a nickname for a girl in Germany, the male version exists, but is rarely used.
Even gender neutral names often are used differently in various nations. For instance in Germany when you hear the name "Sascha" you expect a male and with "Nikita" a female (their male/female forms are used too, but only rarely), there are nations were this is inverted. Or in Italy "Andrea" is a male name, whereas in Germany "Andrea" is a female name. "Andreas" is the male version.
My bad. I was in my thinking by a girls name. You're right. A boy named Nika isn't usual here. But I still don't get why it should be a more german name. MC isn't a german.
I thought this was obvious. You didn't spot the velcro used to attach his ornamental dick when Amber was inspecting the damage from Bella's knee to the groin?
That is because it is obvious in both games that the city of Wollust was settled mainly by families from Central-, Northern- and Eastern Europe. Names like Frohm, Steiner, Holgerson, Petrova, von Halen make it quite obvious and e.g. Viktoria lives in the Würmchen Street, hardly the most American street name ever. Even the Zane family name might be derived, it was a popular choice for hyphenation during the world wars for the name Zahn.
Has it ever been stated in the games that they're set in the USA? Honest question cause I don't remember it.
It is very heavily implied to be playing in the US. Esp. the school sport stuff is very different from how it would be handled in e.g. Germany. Even Sportgymnasien (Sport grammar schools) do not have their own major teams, the pupils will go to local or even regional sport clubs.
Yeah, Wollust is a (fictional) town in Texas
Which is unfortunate it is just fictional, since there is a certain fun factor in the fact that Wollust is German for Lechery.
-Bella's car has American plates
Forget the old WiAB.
As opposed to what wrote the person to whom you replied, the origin of that name is not quite clear. It should be of Greek origin, but why Nika, from the Doric form Νίκα? One would expect Niki, the (modern and also fairly ancient) pronunciation of the Attic form Νίκη. I think Ocean has to enlighten us
In Romance languages (except French) a word ending in -a most often implies feminine gender, but not in Russian. Sasha stands for Aleksandra as well as for Aleksandr. But it seems that Nika is unknown in Russian, Nikita, Niko, Kolya... are used, but not Nika. So we again need Ocean's help.
