#dub names

[nami-moittli]

My headcanons behind all the dub names for digimon:

Adventure:

Taichi —> Tai. Very simple, making the name shorter

Yamato —> Matt. Took a try or two to get to this nickname, but also a pretty simple nickname

Koushiro Izumi —> Izzy. At first he was called “Kou” but then one day someone called him “Izzy” instead, because it was ‘more fun to say’ and it stuck

Takeru—> T.K.. When he was like, in kindergarten or first grade, there was another kid named Takeru, so T.K. Ended up being called that

Hikari—> Kari. Once again, a very simple nickname

02:

Daisuke —> Davis. Noticed that all of his friends have nicknames, and wanted one too. Davis was the first thing he thought of

Miyako —> Yolei. Probably was just hanging out one day and decided that she wanted to give herself a weird nickname, Yolei was the one that made it out

Iori—> Cody. Yolei’s the only one who really calls him this, furthering the idea that they were just hanging out one day, and gave each other nicknames

Extra: Wallace—>Willis. Someone mispronounced his name, and now no one knows which is right

Tamers:

Jianliang—>Henry. He got tired of everyone mispronouncing his name, that he just started saying, “Call me Henry”

Ruki—>Rika. A mispronunciation of her actual name. She hates it, but it won’t leave her alone.

Shaochung—>Susie. One day Henry told her that people have a hard time saying their names, so she should pick out a nickname.

Hirokazu—>Kazu. Once again, a very easy nickname.

(Think that’s all?)

Frontier:

Takuya—>Taky. Very easy nickname.

Izumi—>Zoe. A nickname she got from her friends in Italy. She liked it so she kept it when she got back to Japan. Sometimes shortened further to Z.

Junpei—>J.P.. he wanted to act cooler, so along with the magic and chocolate, he started to introduce himself as J.P. Zoe called him out on this when they first met on the Trailmon.

Tomoki—>Tommy. Again, very easy. Like how Thomas becomes Tommy.

Data Squad/Savers:

Masaru—>Marcus. I’m not even sure. His name just got corrupted one day and it stuck. He sometimes doesn’t even respond to his actual name now

Thoma—>Thomas. Thomas is his name, though sometimes people take off the ‘s’

Ikuto—>Keenan. Ikuto is his birth name, though when he got to the digital world, no one knew that, so they just called him “Keenanmon” Keenan eventually dropped the “mon” though

Chika—>Kristy. A corruption of her name that came about one day.

(I think that’s all?)

Xros wars/Fusion/Young Hunters:

Taiki—>Mikey. Jeremy wanted to see how many people he could get to believe Taiki’s name was Mikey, so one time when he was helping out a club, he yelled, “Go Mikey!” It confused the heck out of Taiki, but now people don’t know which is right. Tagiru just calls him “T.M.” At this point

Zenjiro—>Jeremy. First it was shortened to Jiro, then Jiro became Jeremy. Probably through a mispronunciation mixed with how the name Thomas became Tommy

Akari—>Angie. Jeremy is also behind this one. Probably the same reason he calls Taiki Mikey.

Kiriha—>Christopher. Christopher’s just his middle name.

Yuu—>Ewan. Tagiru gave him this one. Though, he’s not sure how the “an” part of that nickname came to be.

And, I think that’s it. Cause Hunters and Appmon weren’t dubbed, 2020 is just a reboot, and I’m not sure if/when Ghost Game is getting dubbed, so I can’t say.

It’s always funny when anglo writers looking to express a specific idea casually pluck a cool ready-made monosyllabic phrase from their language’s unlimited supply and Romance language translators just curl up in the fœtal position and cry. I'm reading a text in which the American author talks about ‘Haves’ vs ‘Have-Nots’ vs ‘Have-Mosts’ —the poor French translator translated this as ‘ceux-qui-ont’ (the French language: don’t worry I’m just getting warmed up), ‘ceux-qui-n’ont-pas’ (nice we’ve doubled the syllable count but we mustn’t falter), and the beautiful ‘ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres’ (300% expansion ratio let’s gooo! we did it great work everybody.) From 2 to 8 syllables—the minute I saw that bulky thing I knew it had to be Have-Mosts in the original and I was giggling. The anglo author happily proceeds to use the phrase ‘Have-Mosts’ 5 times per paragraph because why not! it’s so quick and wieldy :) we don’t actually need the word wieldy 'cause it’s just the normal state of our language <3 meanwhile you can feel the French translator’s desperation grow as she is reduced to juggling with “those” and “the latter” to avoid summoning her creature. Eventually she reaches the acceptance stage and uses ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres again like, it’s my monster. I shouldn’t reject it

#Trektober Day 26, "Academy Era". If they don't someday go back for the salamander babies and force Janeway to deal with the stress of their college years, I will be deeply saddened.

ONCE UPON A TIME, IN PHILOS

Jeremiah: Xavier, please, you just need to wear this costume and wave to the crowd!

Xavier: No.

Jeremiah: It’s for charity! Do your duty as Prince of Philos, why don’t you?!

Xavier: I said no.

MC: Oh, Xavier, I finally found you! Here’s our matching masks for the charity event later!

Xavier: Matching… masks?

MC: Yeah, didn’t Jeremiah say? We’re going to have a play sword fight to amuse the kids! You and I will be the Moonshade Duo! Pretty cool, right?

Xavier: …Yeah.

MC: Get dressed soon, okay? Anyway, see you later!

Xavier: …

Jeremiah:

Jeremiah: *sighs* I guess I’ll ask someone else, huh—

Xavier: Quiet. And give me that.

SOMETIME DURING THEIR SPACE JOURNEY

Xavier: Why did you even decide to pack my Moonshade Duo outfit?

Jeremiah: You never know what world we’ll arrive in, what disguise you’ll need!

Xavier: But… it’s pointless without the pair outfit.

Jeremiah: Stop sulking, Captain! I made these, so I can make her another one once the time comes!

14 YEARS AGO (FROM PRESENT TIME)

Jeremiah, after seeing Lumiere land in front of him during the day of the incident: You— I thought you didn’t like— you actually wore it on your own?!

Xavier, brandishing his sword: Not. A. Word.
