What Name Should I Get?

This is a discussion thread about: What Name Should I Get? inside the Na’vi Culture & Language forum, part of the AVATAR Movie Forums category. As it is the last year of High School for me, we have designed a "celebratory" Jacket for the class ...

    Default What Name Should I Get?

    As it is the last year of High School for me, we have designed a "celebratory" Jacket for the class to wear, however, you can get a customized Name/Word on the back.

    I was just going to go with my usual Nickname, but since I love Na'vi so much, I wouldn't mind putting some on the back instead of a regular name.

    Any ideas for something? It can be a word, name, or anything.

    Here is what it would look like, except without the hood. Also, note: I blurred out the School Name and Logo, it's not a bad image/bad design.



    KGO!

    Well what are your interests? What was your favorite part of the film? Your favorite character? If you had one day on Pandora, what would you want to spend your time doing?

    And are you willing to explain to all of your friends, family, and even random strangers what the word or phrase means? Because you'll almost certainly have to if you have it put on the jacket (not to dissuade you - it sounds like a great idea)...

    I'm a real big nerd... Though I also like hunting. But I'd prefer it to be something Na'vi related, not "me" related. Favourite part I'm not to sure, the tree of voices and the "you will never be one of the people" were pretty epic...

    ...And have a guess as to whom my favourite character is.

    Also, I'm more than happy to explain it

    Haha, well I already had an idea of who your favorite character was. But printing "Neytiri" on the back of your jacket would be too obvious...

    Well it's not too terribly original, but it seems like "Taronyu" would be a good fit - it's Na'vi related but also related to you.

    If you can have two words (not sure how many characters you're limited to), perhaps you could add a descriptive word before (e.g. "fierce", "fearless", "proud", etc.)

    If you want something a little more original, maybe you could explain more about why you found the "you will never be one of the people" scene to be epic?

    But even still, "hunter" and "hunting" have many meanings, and not just the obvious one. Jake was "hunting" for something to believe in. He found it in Neytiri and the Na'vi.

    Personally, I'm gonna have to go with "Taronyu" being the best option for you, but if you want to expand on your favorite scenes, perhaps something else will come to mind that fits better...

    You could put Omaticaya on the back

    "Bushido"

    "Bushidō (武士道?), roughly translated as "the way of the warrior," is a Japanese code of conduct and way of samurai life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry. As part of the samurai philosophy, Bushidō stresses loyalty, frugality, the mastery of martial arts, and "honor unto death."

    @ Friend of Pandora:

    I'm thinking one of these maybe:

    Taronyu, Kuntulyu, Skxawng, Pxasik

    As for why I liked the scene? I just love the Na'vi in it "Kawkrr! Krr slayu nga Na'viyä hapxi!" and the emotion on Neytiri's face.

    I don't think I would be able to fit an adjective as well, you can have a lot of letters (just make the font smaller on the back)... But, two semi-long words isn't a good move.

    @ Rikimaru:

    Morsolo

    @ Elyannia:

    Not bad... But I want more of a single word for me, not a clan name.

    @ Zlt:

    Na.
