[Opinions] Re: Fictional twins
The water theme is a little too on the nose in my opinion. It would only really work if they were part of some 'water clan' or something. As regular, modern-day humans it would probably raise eyebrows. It depends on the setting basically.Also Kai I almost always see as a nickname for Kaito, or some other Kai- name, so just keep that in mind.~☆August Song Recommendation☆~

Fictional twinsWell, the whole setting is a fantasy (maybe a blend of comedic and urban fantasy is a decent description of this) world, so these names probably should be fine there.Aand the relation to the two's personalities is only my own little sighting, because I first chose the names and then started to work on the other aspects of the characters without being inspired by their names' meanings at all.Maybe I should've said that A) the brothers have magical powers: ice and water, respectively, and B) there is a water theme not only in their own names, but in the name of their father and other relatives from his side (maybe this family is actually a 'water clan' like Higuma said), so it's a tradition, too.About the surname: yes, it is perfectly real. I always do some research before naming something or someone.

Yeah, Japanese people usually do not have middle names, thank you for the small reminder.And writing the surname first is just a usual thing for me (and the Japanese, too), heh.

Ah, so it is like a family trait. Are they named after their individual powers or was that a coincidence?I do like the flow of both names, especially Hiyamizu Hyōga btw
