Whats In A Name?

What’s in a Name?

So here I am completely misinterpreting everyone’s names all for the sake of headcanons. This is just for fun so please don’t take this seriously.

House Leaders

Edlegard von Hresvelg - Noble Shield of the Giant Eagle

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd - Wolf Protector from the Goddess of Life

Claude von Riegan - Stumbling Little King

I love Claude’s name, I think it suits the story

Black Eagles

Bernadetta von Varley - Brave Bear

Caspar von Bergliez - Treasurer

Dorothea Arnold - Gift of God

Ferdinand von Aegir - journey, brave, sea

Hubert von Bestla - Spirit of Bestla (mother of Odin. Unless that’s actually Vestra)

Linhardt von Hevring - Lion Heart 

Petra Macneary - Modest Rock

I don’t know what to do with the Black Eagles, send help!

They’re all mostly Germanic origins

I want to make Ferdinand’s name to mean ‘brave journey on rough seas’ but that would be a stretch

Is Petra a modest rock or is it that she comes from a humble island?

Blue Lions

Annette Fantine Dominique - Graceful Child of the Lord

Ashe Duran - Strength to Endure

Dedeu Molinaro - Guardian of the Mill 

Felix Hugo Fraldarius - Happy Thoughts 

Ingrid Brandol Galatea - Beautiful Man Made Woman

Mercedes von Martlitz - Swift and Elegant Mercy

Sylvain Jose Gautier - A Forest of Trees Will Be Added by God to this Leader of Armies

That’s it. Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.

Jose has a long name - this also means that Sylvain’s followers will multiply... so if I’m right and this actually happens, it would make sense why they still have an army

Mill meaning hardworking? Stable?

Ingrid was bred to be perfect - the imagined ideal woman that men make up and fall in love with 

Golden Deer

Hilda Valentin Goneril - Battle Ready 

Ignatz Victor - Fire of Victory

Leonie Pinelli - Lion, Pine? - Strength to Endure 

Lorenz Hermann Gloucester - Laurel Warrior 

Lysithea von Cordelia - Heart of the Water Nymph

Marianne von Edmund - Bitter Grace

Raphael Kirsten - God Has Healed the Followers

Hilda’s is actually ‘battle healthy’ but ready makes more sense

If you take the symbolism of a lion and the symbolism of pine trees, you can get ‘strength’ and ‘longevity’ so...

TL;DR

I tried to make them all sound like fancy titles but...

Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.

Petra is comes from a modest rock

Put in a certain way, Ashe and Leoni have the same name

I need help naming the Black Eagles

Warphase!Edelgard: Can you guys at least try to see this from my perspective?

Warphase!Dimitri: [Crouches down]

Warphase!Claude: [kneels]

Byleth: [sits on floor]

Edelgard: I hate all of you.

Felix Dimitri Scenario

Felix gets recruited by the Black Eagles.

Because you can bet your *ss bottom dollar that I’m stealing Felix when I go through the Black Eagles run.

F: Hey boar… Listen… I’ve been invited to move to the Black Eagles.

D: Oh… That’s great Felix. Are you going to take it?

F: I’ve already accepted.

D: Right. Of course. They are all very skilled, I’m sure you’ll have no shortage of challenges.

F: What is wrong with you?

D: ...

F: I’m leaving and you’re perfectly okay with that?

Dimitri is silent for a while.

D: Of course not. But I won’t force you to stay.

Felix frowns at him.

D: If this is what you want, who am I to stop you?

Felix scoffs. 

F: You’re the prince, you could order me not to.

D: I won’t.

The prince sighs and looks toward the floor. It shouldn’t hurt to try.

D: Felix...I know you think I’m weak. I know you don't agree with our values, but… 

I’m asking you as a friend… Please stay?

He asks it so heartbreakingly honest and fragile and it’s everything Felix hates about his house. Still it hurts him to say what he does next.

F: A soft heart and good virtue is not going to win wars. You’ve always been so… damned fragile.

He leaves his prince and doesn’t look back.

Happy Thoughts Fraldarius, how could you! You’re only moving classrooms, don’t be dramatic. 

Nintendo deleted a Blue Lions tweet within four days of tweeting it. I’m not mad, I’m just interested in why... there was probably some typo or something and they had to take it down.

There’s possible spoilers and maybe the fact that we’re not supposed to be seeing this so more in the link. And honestly, I just made this document so I can share my headcanons with you guys.

Please don’t be extinct. Please don’t be extinct.
