mw characters' Chinese names, ranked
Anya
1. 安雅 (ānyā) - Ān is a surname associated with peace while yā can be read as 'elegant' or 'crow'. very suitable for this graceful goth woman (10/10)
Curly
科里 (kēlǐ) - pretty close to Curly even if it isn't a 'real name'. bonus points for 科 being related to science (7/10)
柯里 (kēlǐ) - also close to Curly and works as a name. 柯 is a last name related to axe handles. coincidence? (8/10)
奥利安 (àolì'ān) - looks like aioli. mayo-ass name. even more cursed than Orion (-10/10)
Daisuke
大辅 (dàfǔ) - Japanese names are read according to their Chinese character's sounds, which has mixed results. this does still have the 'big helper' association at least. (3/10)
Jimmy
吉米 (jímǐ) - "lucky" + "food" (lit. rice) ... peak irony, even sounds the same (10/10)
计宓 (jìmì) - Jì is a surname that means plan or ruse. ''mì' means peaceful. 50/50 on the irony for our plotting king (6/10)
Swansea
桑夕 (sāngxī) - ''mulberry'' surname + dusk. kind of cool imagery but missing a chunk of his name. oops. (3/10)
斯旺西 (sīwàngxī) - surname Sī + ''prosperous'' + ''west''. sounds so bad. Sī is also an abbreviation for Slovakia. not sure which is worse (1/10)
