Damn it Brythan, you beat me to it!
What I find kinda freaky is that tomorrow marks its 7th birthday. Couldn't have timed this better.

Re: Ask!
The names were decided before 4LS and were some of the first actual decisions made for the project because priorities. It really wasn't any more or less difficult than any other decision, even with more people talking about them with somewhat less coordination. The deaf girls' name was initially Rosa, which was changed maybe a few months later. Humorously, the biggest proponent for "Rosa" came back months and months later, after 4LS was already formed, to fight us about the name again.
When the cast expanded with side characters, they were mostly named by single 4LS devs, maybe with some consultation. The philosophy with naming them ranged from pretty laissez-faire (which resulted in some stupid shit that still makes me cringe) to obsessive (similar to the trench warfare about Shizune's name), depending on who was involved.

Claiming Miki (though her family name Miura was from Delta), Akira, and Aoi.
Lilly wasn't mine, and my choice for her family name used to be Sonomi. Not the greatest, admittedly.

Re: Ask!
Suriko, had you put much thought into how long Miki has had her disability? I have my own idea of when it was that she lost her left hand, but I'd love to know what you as Miki's writer think (even though I know that the stance 4LS takes is that only what is in the game should be considered canon).

Re: Ask!
Yeah in the early days (pre-4ls, post /a/ thread) there were multiple names for each girl. We made a poll and voted on names, although as Aura mentioned, Rosa wound up getting canned in spite of the vote (THERE'S YOUR DEATH OF DEMOCRACY! Seriously though, Rosa was a terrible name). The real bastard was naming Hisao--I think that might have been one of the larger fights.Kon22 wrote:Did any of the girls got her name changed? The original sketch didn't have any names, so I'm guessing this could have happened. And if that wasn't the case, did you have trouble choosing the name for some of the girls?
I also claim full responsibility for naming the Nurse, which was really my only significant naming contribution.

Re: Ask!
And the most valuable contribution of them all! Initially, were you planning on giving the Nurse a name, or was it decided from the start that he wouldn't have one? A while ago, I read that the Nurse himself was inspired by the story about Nurse-kun and Amputee-chan. Was that the reason why his name remained anonymous? My apologies if this has been answered in this thread or elsewhere. I had a quick search and couldn't find any information which specifically answered my questionsTheHivemind wrote: I also claim full responsibility for naming the Nurse, which was really my only significant naming contribution.
