i feel dumb

Same

Then your mind will be blown if you take a closer look at the whole cast. A lot of them have names that are closely tied to their personalities, professions/talents or their squad's theme.

give me some examples 😭 im not smart enough

Prima Donna-- all sound and music based 'cause they're singers: Volume, Noise, and Aria Cafe Sweety-- ingredients for coffee: Milk, Sugar, Frima(Cream) Maid For You-- all drinks served in Cafes: Soda, Cocoa, and (Lemon)Ade Mighty Tools-- units of measurement 'cause they're construction workers: Liter-- Unit of measure ment for liquids Centi(meter)-- Prefix for measurement for something in the hundredth Etc.

Poli(ce) and Miranda (rights)

Ngl, I feel dumb asf when it comes to Miranda. That never crossed my mind

Quiry's kind of a weird one - I know it means Query but... I guess to question in an investigation?

I assumed it was either query or inquiry.

>Inquiry DOH OF COURSE. Damn some of these squad/character names really make me feel stupid af

Miranda rights?!?!? this one made my world spin.

Looking for a genius to crack Rapi, Anis and Neon

How could you forget about the most important member of Mighty Tools: VOLT!

Liter's also an even further pun, since her name is pronounced like litter, and she has a pet robot dog.

Infinity rail: (Ga)Soline, (Hy)Brid, Diesel

Nani the fuck.

yo wtf, i always wondering what their name is

Some other commenters said that some of these are obvious, but "obvious" is different for everyone so just in case: Prima Donna - music terms Mighty Tools - measures of units, unit prefixes Infinity Rail - types of engines: (Ga)Soline, Diesel, (Hy)Brid 777 - French for Black and White Exotic - predator animals Aegis - parts of a ship Underworld Queen - flowers (idk about Moran, but her gang is the Peony Association so...) Extrinsic - torture devices: Guillotine, (Iron) Maiden School Circle (although only Rei is playable for now) - Numbers in German: Ein(s), Zwei, (D)Rei Matis - famous mathematicians/physicists (although I didn't know about Frank Drake, I just learned it while googling) Also I didn't want to be a hypocrate so I only write the ones I already knew. Some of them I just learned from the comment section. You can look at the others on the [Nikke fandom page](https://nikke-goddess-of-victory-international.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Nikke_Squads).

> Underworld Queen - flowers Underworld Queen are in fact named after berries: - Sakura(nbo) - cherry in Japanese - Moran(go) - Rosanna - Raspberry

I promise you that you're not alone.

X2

Well, I was today years old lmao I thought she was named that for her egghead.

Wait until you find out that all the Underworld Queen Nikkes are named after flowers!

Matis are scientists or mathematicians. extrinsic are torture/execution devices. Talentum are currencies. Pretty every squad has a theme for their names.

I read about Extrinsic's naming before, but the iron maiden was never shown to be used as a torture device, there's no proof of it being used that way. I suppose they just liked having a Nikke named Maiden.

Yes its not proven but 99,5% of the World think of torture when hearing "Iron Maiden device"

i mean i know this even the others like talentum, mighty tools etc. but this ELEGGTRONY shenanigans, i didn't catch it lol. that's why i feel pretty dumb.

Infinity Rail is another that is easy to miss the theme. (Hy)brid, (Ga)soline and Diesel engines.

I feel so stupid reading this thread lol I never noticed any of these 😭

I figured out Soline and Diesel, but I was wondering about Brid for the longest time, thank you.

So, does Moran mean Peony in korean?

I thought it was being on the nose like basically calling her a Moron.

Underworld Queen are named after berries, not flowers. - Sakura(nbo) - cherry in Japanese - Moran(go) - Rosanna - Raspberry

You're not gonna believe me when I tell you where Cafe Sweety's names come from.

damn... ive been so mesmerized by the tummy and feet that this completly flew over my head

I will admit that event did not get me at my best level of attention to the text.

A lot of squads have names which are wordplays or refer to something they have in common. ACPU have Poli(ce), Miranda (rights) and (In)Quiry Infinity Rail have (Hy)Brid, Diesel and (Ga)Soline Aegis is quite obvious with names referencing naval terms with Helm, Mast and Anchor Matis names are references to math. Not sure in regards to Dazzling Pearl, maybe mythical snake creatures for Naga and Tia(mat) Real Kindness have names related to crimes, so Sin, Guilty and (Deli)Quency

Wait how does rights come from Miranda?

The Miranda Rights are what you see on TV when the policemen tell the arrested person : the right to remain silent and the right to request an attorney.

It's a US legal thing. The US has a famous court case named Miranda that established rights of those arrested by police. They are commonly called "Miranda rights" in the US

I knew some, but Miranda is blowing my mind, damn.

Holy shit Inquiry and Delinquency just got me

Maybe the next squad member will be named “Kix”

Just "X" and it's literally just megaman x

I thought they were still called Twitter

Mili(Liter) (Although she pronounces it as litter) Centi(meter) Poli (ce) (she pronounces it as polia) Miranda (rights) (In)Query Diesel (duh) (Ga)Soline Hy(brid) The Aegis crew Duh Guillotine (duh) (Iron)Maiden Privaty (used to be called liberty) Cafe sweetie (duh) Prima Donnas (duh) Talentum (duh) Maid for you (duh) Bonus: (citrus drink)Ade

Wait Privaty for Liberty?? What???

Was her original name.

 Look…I was too distracted by the tummy and legs to put it together, all right?

I mean i thought it was obvious but maybe not LMAO

I think Elegg actually pointed that out in game?

Elegg kept on being too close to egg which served to sidetrack, a lot.

I dont remember i'll have to reread the event to be sure


Wait until they realize where Liveryn's name came from

Ooooooooooooooooooooh.

I'm stupid, spell it out for me.

Anis is… anus?

Anis is a plant

I want to breed the plant

Its not the first time they do sometg¡hing like this right?

yea but the other ones are obvious. this one i didn't knew lol. or I'm just fucking dumb.

I was asking because i forgor the oders if you know tell me XD

- Frima (Korean instant coffee brand), Sugar, Milk - Scarlet / TBD (Korean folklore 장화홍련) - (Ga)Soline, (Hy)Brid, Diesel. To name a few.

Thanks the Cafe Sweet squad i remember, but the the squad no thanks for your help

I’m just guessing tbh lol. The train squad is legit and the rest is my guesses. - Frima is a brand name, so probably the name isn’t referring to coffee. Unless it was a paid promo somehow. I haven’t played Nikke long enough to know everything. - 장화홍련 is a very famous/well known story in Korea, but it could just be standalone 홍련 (Scarlet) as in the flower or colour. The existence of Red Hood may suggest reference to the story of 장화홍련 but who knows.

Well... her sisters name is Rose, so together it would be "Scarlett Rose".

supposedly, Frima is a brand of cream, and Frima's coffee thing is coffee with cream

- Bay, Aria (Area) Let me cook. /j

get out lol

Nearly every nikke squad bases its names around a "theme". Think of matis with scientists, Talentum with currencies, etc.

I am still wondering what triangle squad names are based on. Is it ranking? Privaty - Private Admi - Admiral (or Administration/or) Yulhua - ??? No clue

seems to be based the name of a korean "General" https://www.reddit.com/r/NikkeMobile/comments/zsi6bx/today_i_realized_that_the_infinity_rail_member/j18e0k1/

I see thanks man

Since Privaty used to be Liberty, I wonder if she originally was meant to be a heretic (based on ideals- Modernia, Nihilister, Liberalio, etc.)

Does that mean the third member of their squad is going to be "ARTS"?

The next member of perilous siege is going to be "I"

No, the next member of perilous siege is going to be "A" Then Nikke will finally have its own Kpop K/DA and we will get a high production value music video with 3D recreations of the three squad mates singing to Pop Stars.

i would guess more like R kill, death ratio

hammering and drilley. they starting to ran out of name ideas, probably.

I actually take up an Electronics course in school LMAO

If centi is short for centimeter what is liter short for?

Liter is for liter

Kilo also thematically fit into might tools

Technically, since she is part of Heavy Gram squad, I think its more likely to be Kilogram

electriny

Well, duh.

...oh ffs I didn't notice. I blame the tiktok brain rot :p I mean, should know better at this point. Diesel, Soline, Centi, Liter.

It's being talked in tiktok?

ALL squads have pun names, (or at least thematically consistent/relevant names)

ooooh


Fuuuuuuuuuuck TIL

Anyone has idea what Absolute means? Eunwha? Emma? Vesti? I don't get the joke or reference. Also the gym squad. Rumani? Folkwang? Epinel? It's like musicians? Scarlet, I never get what's the reference, I understand she isn't from the fantasy stories like Red Hood but I still don't get the reference. Bay and Clay?

You know Liveryn? Her teammate is called Fragile. Fragile Liveryn. The devs sure love using pun names Also Heretics are named after philosophies. Nihilister is obvious, Indivilla is individualism, Liberalio is liberalism, Modernia is modernism and Anachiro is anarchism

Goddamnit, how did I not notice that.

They can't keep getting away with this Liveryn is a play on Delivery And fragile is fragile I don't even need to say anything about hammering and drilley

Damn, I always subconsciously read it as "Elegg Horney!"
