The Protagonist 332 Posted February 15, 2013 As the tiitle said,she was never in org XIII so where did she get her name? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted February 15, 2013 Well, when Namine was born, Org. XIII snatched her right up, so the most logical thing to think is that they named her themselves. Either that, or it comes from the same source as the lesser Nobodies...which is....uh.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tails 6,690 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) She got her name from Nomura, obviously ;P. Edited February 15, 2013 by Tails 8 Mystics Apprentice, The_eternal_nothing, Noobles and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Think Pink 1,967 Posted February 15, 2013 She's Kairi's and Sora's Nobody. Kairi means ocean and Nami means sky-touching wave, so I think the relation comes from there.

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted February 15, 2013 The name Namine means nautical mile (or something similar) so themes related to sea, as kI = sea. If you meant by lore, Org XIII named her. Why Namine...prolly cuz they had no Somebody I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J. Severe 1,137 Posted February 15, 2013 I'm sure in some language out there Namine = Kairi + X. 2 Xaldin III and Nathan Hatton reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted February 15, 2013 Good question indeed. My guess is that the Organization decided her name, but I could be wrong. It's really hard to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weiss 8,279 Posted February 15, 2013 Probably the org decided it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnHeiressofaSOLDIER 358 Posted February 15, 2013 I assume the Organization named her when they found her. Anyway, her name is derived from the Japanese word "Nami" meaning "ocean wave" whereas Kairi's name (or rather, "Kai") means "sea". It's the same way Aqua's name is Latin for "water", and Xion's name means "tide". Anyway... 1 Handsome_the_Wise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velvet Scarlatina 607 Posted February 15, 2013 If the Organization named Namine, then her name meaning just about the same thing as Kairi's is one hell of a coincidence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted February 15, 2013 I just realized that as the nobody of a princess of heart, she probably wouldn't have the darkness necessary for Xehanort's plans, and that's probably why Xemnas never made her an organization member. I mean, I know that with Roxas they already had thirteen, but they sort of let Xion; why else not include Namine, even as a back-up, or to give her a purpose to follow the organization? Well, I suppose they sort of did that by still naming her; they gave her something related to the name "Kairi", to help give her a separate identity. What I'm really stuck on is how did they figure out her powers...I mean how exactly do you test her having control over Sora's memories...? Meh, they were already doing memory experimentation in C.O. and replica stuff, probably wasn't too hard... If the Organization named Namine, then her name meaning just about the same thing as Kairi's is one hell of a coincidence. Well, the organization would probably know she was Kairi's nobody (they've been keeping tabs on Sora) and named her so accordingly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Keeper 687 Posted February 15, 2013 They should bring about Namine's past in future games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ptolema 404 Posted February 15, 2013 It must have a meaning... It's linked to Kairi. How would the Organization know that, I have no idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyn 1,755 Posted March 13, 2013 She's Kairi's and Sora's Nobody. Kairi means ocean and Nami means sky-touching wave, so I think the relation comes from there. (I read this somewhere a while ago) Wait, she's SORA'S NOBODY TOO? I thought she was only Kairi's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weiss 8,279 Posted March 13, 2013 Wait, she's SORA'S NOBODY TOO? I thought she was only Kairi's. Yeah, when Sora stabbed himself in kh1 while Kairi's heart was still in him Namine was created from both of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruran 481 Posted March 15, 2013 I assume that Xemnas names all the humanoid Nobodies he comes across but how he came to "Namine" (if he named) her is beyond me. I don't remember if he was aware of Kairi at the time but I kind of doubt he knew she was Kairi's Nobody right off the bat. Or maybe he did if he used that floating name trick, how ever that works. Does it tell Xemnas a person's name or does have to know it before hand and he just does the floating name thing because it looks cool? But even if he knew that's Namine's Somebodies name was "Kairi" did he know who she was? I guess he might have had an idea at least or naming her Namine "is one Hell of a coincidence the "there's no coincidence in fate" thing aside. GAHH! Even Namine's name is a mystery and a pain in the ass to figure out. Ultimately it's irrelevant though, there's probably no more significance than its meaning. The simple answer is that someone in the Org. named her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
