Just a thought on "Lilly"

Post by Krull »

If you spelled it "Lily" like the flower,in Japanese you get "Yuri" the name of a favorite character of mine from Dirty Pair,if you don't know this anime look it up.......

Also slang for lesbo action I hear :lol:

We know. Lily = yuri = slang for lesbian erotica. I just really hate the name "Lily", yet like the name "Lilly".

Yuri is also the first man in space.

When a girl has the name name Lily or Lilly I tend to call her Yuri,and it makes sense if Lilly is half Japanese.

The only problem I ever had with the name Yuri is that it's a guy's name in Russia (as above) and it comes dang close to "urine" I know-I'm just all fucked up.

if you're saying it in a way close to urine, you're technically not pronouncing it correctly. yuri or ゆり or 百合 has a slightly different pronunciation if you use the Japanese syllables. it's close to 'yoo-ri' (yoo like the word 'you' and 'ri' like the first syllable in 'repose') where as urine has a slight 'er' sound after the 'oo'. it's two distinct syllables as opposed to the slightly slurred noise you get in English. I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think there is an equivalent syllable for 'ur' like in urine.

Also, to mean lily, like the flower, there is usually another syllable(s) associated with it. like 小百合 (さゆり、sayuri、which means lily) or 黒百合 (くろゆり、kuroyuri, black lilly). so while saying lily=yuri is true in a strict sense, odds are if you put it into a dictionary you will get lesbian porn before you get the flower. (ie, google 百合 as opposed to 小百合)

edit
I'm a liar, you totally get flowers if you google 百合。 Just never seen it written by itself in text before.

I don't think I've ever seen Lilly spelled with three L's before this game, but looking at it now, I think it looks a lot better than with only two L's. More like a name, less like a plant.

Lilly's name is the new "L" word...
You just KNOW there's gonna be a Nurse X Akira X Hanako threesome witnessed by Yuuko at SOME point during the Emi path...in Lilly's room.

While we're on the subject, is Akira a gender-neutral name or are the devs just making sure we figure out that a girl who dresses and talks like a -- oh god, Akira's a reverse trap.

<Aura> would you squeeze a warm PVC bottle between your thighs and call it "manaka-chan"
<Suriko> I would do it if it wouldn't be so hard to explain to my parents

A reverse trap is a girl that looks like a boy but is actually still a girl.

A reverse trap is what Akira is.

ah... I thought a reverse trap indicated a girl that looked like a guy.
that would be inverse trap instead?
