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.
Maria is one name which is used for both genders often, but if a boy is named Maria it is usually their middle name. One of the names where a German waits to see who comes is Uli (Ulrich/Ulrike), which is popular for both boys and girls.

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.

So are we saying that the MC was actually the transgender character that Ocean has decided to make CIS because people would spot the FUTA in the code before the in-game reveal?

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.
The scene where the class goes for a beer in the local pub wouldn't makes sense in the USA since alcohol is 21+ there.
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.
As for the beer at the pub, that is European style, correct. In Germany for instance you can get Beer and wine at age 14, if accompanied by a grown up or at 16 on your own. Hard liquor is at age 18. But these are younger, tougher regulations. I remember the time when I was a young boy, back then you got a beer if you were able to look over the bar without standing on a chair.
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.

Forget the old WiAB.
Nothing in there has any relevance for the future.
The games now play in a fictional world. (No US or Europe). I want to be able to make my own rules, but I adopted traits of the US and Europe.
Wollust is also not a bibi city anymore, and during the WiAB time period, it features almost a pop of a million.
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.

Yes, we have already noticed that the concept of the city of Wollust has changed, in the period SG there is even a metro in it.
Good luck in your work and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the fans of SG and WIAB! I'm looking forward to a 2023 that gives us a complete Season 1 and takes us into Season 2. Cheers to great music for our expanding playlists as well as deeper romances with our chosen love interests! Yes - even if you are not a Bella romancer, I include you!
