hetalia | Names for Nyotalians?

I thought it'd be fun to share some names each of us may have come up with for the cast of Nyotalia. Thanks to Himaruya, we're free to name them however we want.

For me, I see it as an opportunity to give characters names that are not only politically correct, but also have meaning behind them. Like take North Italy. Feliciano is fine by me, it's Italian and means "happy, fortunate". But his surname is such fail guys. For those of you who don't know, Vargas is a Spanish surname. It's awkward and I think Himaruya used it because of those Vargas Pinups back from WWII. Which is even odder since that was an American thing. That's just my guess. But fandom is too used to Vargas and will most likely keep on using it.

So for his fiercer counterpart, I went through several different names before I decided on Luciana which means "Light" in Italian. As for the surname, Valente comes to mind. Or Vitale. Not very picky, but anything other than Vargas.

And what about the rest of you? What kind of names do you use?

I go by the names I usually see in fics:

England: Alice
America: Emily, Amelia (I prefer Amelia)
France: Marianne, Françoise
Canada: Madeleine
Prussia: Maria
Germany: Eva

That's all I have. I've seen North Italy as "Margherita" /shrugs

I thought Himaruya gave some names for the Nyotalias? Like Alice (read as... something like "A-lee-cheh" but don't trust my phonetics guys) for Fem!North Italy or Chiara for Fem!South Italy, which are actually legit Italian names.

Regarding the question, I usually use the "girl version" for their names, if they have one. If not, I just pick something I like or has a close meaning. For example, I've used Felicja for Fem!Poland because it's the same as Feliks, but Audra for Fem!Lithuania because, well, I liked it.
And I keep their surnames unless they are the kind of surnames that change with gender, such as Slavic ones and the like.

If you mean the list of names that was posted on his blog, a fan sent those names to Himaruya and he published them for fun. He also mentioned that he's not going to give them any official names, so fans are free to make up their own.

Aw, thanks for explaining it! The Spanish comm said nothing about it being something fan-made and I just assumed they were 100% official.

However, it's nice to see we've got total freedom for their names! <3

The names I use are

Italy: Alice
Germany: Monika
Japan: Sakura
America: Amelia
England: Rosa
France: Trinette
Russia: Anya
China: Chun-Yan
Romano: Chiara
Spain: Isabel
Hungary: Daniel (Couldn't unsee in Amnesia: The Dark Descent)
Canada: Marguerite
Prussia: Julia

I can't remember if there was anything else I use. ;_;

Isnt Rosa spanish?

Rosa is of Latin origin. XD

I've heard people calling fem!Finland Tiina, but I don't really like using it, since my mother-in-law is Tiina. I prefer calling her Aino. I haven't thought about her surname, but calling her Aino Väinämöinen would be a bit cruel - the name Aino comes from a character from Kalevala. Aino was a young woman that the old shaman/wizard/whatever, Väinämöinen, was going to marry.. and she hated the idea so much that she drowned herself to escape her fated marriage.

I really like the idea of fem!Sweden being named Ingrid or Elin. They're pretty names. Also, Elin is a lesbian character from the (somewhat famous?) Swedish movie Fucking Åmål.

Aside from my biased OTP.. I really like some of the names I've seen going around in the fandom. Heidi (Switzerland), Marianne (France), Anya (Russia) and Madeleine (Canada) are my favourites. It's always interesting to hear what names people want to give their countries, especially since there seems to be a story behind every name. ♥

I perfer to use "Tinka" as fem!Finlands name, it's a rare name like Tino is, so I thought that'd be a nice one for her~ :3

I like:

America - Amelia
Russian - Anya
England - Elizabeth
France - Marianne

Eh, that's all I got. /lazy

For me,

America: Allison

Canada: Madeline or Mathilda

That's about it. :D;

Names I use are ;;

England ; Alice
America ; Emily
France ; Marianne
Italy ; Alice/Adelaide ( I'd be glad to call her Alice but fem!England already has this name )
Romano ; Chiara
Spain ; Maria
Russia ; Anya
Germany ; Monica
Japan ; Sakura
Prussia ; Julchen
China ; Chun Yan
Canada ; Meg

... Waiting for official names wwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Germany - Elise
Prussia - Gisela, Fritzi
Austria - Rosalinde, Therese
Hungary - Janós
England - Victoria, Alice
America - Amelia

Also re; human names for canon characters that didn't get one, I forever use Svetlana for Ukraine.

I think these are my faves out of all that I see laying about~ Also, those that I have enough knowlegde in the language to decide on a name...

Veneziano: Rosa, Felicia
Romano: Chiara, Luisa
Prussia: Maria (I know it's not German, but lots of chars have names that aren't their language, and I like the sound of a religious name for Fem!Gil. If he was a kniht as male, he'd be a nun as female~ XD)
Japan: Sakura
England: Alice, Elizabeth, Rose, Guinevere
France: Marianne (The official personification of France.)
America: Amelia
Canada: Madeline (Both Englishable and Frenchable and the nickname "Maddie" sounds alot like "Mattie".)
Russia: Anya
Switzerland: Heidi XD
Sealand: Wendy

North Italy: Lucia Rossi (and I use Marco Rossi for male North Italy)
Germany: Dorothea Weierstraß
Japan: Sakurako "Sakura" Honda (and I use Kikuo for male Japan's actual first name, Kiku for short)

America: Amelia F. Jones
England: Alice Kirkland
France: Genevieve Bonnefoy (and I use François Bonnefoy for France)
Russia: Anna "Anya" Braginskaya
China: Yi Wang
Canada: Madeline Williams

South Italy: Chiara Rossi (and I use Tommaso Rossi for male South Italy)
Spain: Teresa Hernandez Carriedo

Switzerland: Adelheid "Heidi" Zwingli (and I use Bastien "Basch" Zwingli for male Switzerland)
Liechtenstein: Alois Büchel (and I use Sophie Büchel for female Liechtenstein)

I usually stick to their "official" surname, though for first names, it's usually like this for me:

England -> Alice
America -> Emily
Canada -> Madeline(I think I saw someone use this name and it kind of stuck, though I honestly think Madison would be a better choice |'D)
N. Italy -> Felicia/Feliciana
S. Italy -> Camilla
Spain -> Isabel/Gabriela/Antonia(idk, could never really decide on Spain's OTL)
Russia -> Anya
France -> Marianne
Japan -> Sakura

England - Victoria Elizabeth Clarkeland (Queen Vicky and Good Queen Bess)
America - Amelia Francesca Smith (I just liked the sound of it)
Japan - Yamato Sakura (so original hurr)
Canada - Marie Dupont
France - Antoinette/Marianne Beaumont

And that's all I've got so far

I don't normally use nyotalia names in anything, but the ones I know and love for certain nations are:

Germany: Luise
Denmark: Freja
Prussia: Maria
Switzerland: Heidi
France: Marianne

I know about "official" names, but I would like to call fem!Italy Felicia or Felicita.

I use:

-America: Alice or Allison
-England: Anne or Elizabeth
-Russia: Anya or Ivanna
-Italy: Chiara or Felicia
-Romano: Romana or Lovina
-Spain: Carmen, Rocío, Isabel or Almudena
-France: Marianne
-Germany: Elise
-Prussia: Krimhild or Gertrude
-Belarus: Nikolai

I am super in love with the name Natan, which is what I call Belarus. It's the masculine Russian/Belorussian version of Natalia. I just love it love it LOVE IT~
