    I've been banned from these forums recently. Fair enough. As part of my apology I had to promise to start less duplicate threads so I haven't been posting at all. I haven't seen anyone else post this thread though. So, does anyone else thinks the characters names are rubbish?

    Kylo Ren! Kylo Ren? Really? At least Darth Vader/Maul/Sidious actually had a meaning. What does Kylo Ren mean?

    BB-8. Obviously standing for either ball-bearing or baseball. And 8 being a reference to it's body shape.

    Captain Phasma? Please, tell me it isn't so. Captain Phasma? Phasma? Is that a variation on plasma or is it short for phasmagorical? Either way it sucks.

    Rey Solo. Is that pronounced Ray or Ree?

    Finn. The most uninspired and meaningless name in the film.

    Meanwhile the planet name of Jakku. Did someone gave a crush on a bird named Jackie? It won't be remembered. Jakku, unlike Tatooine, forgotten already.

    The Force Awakens. Pants name. We all know it.

    Anyone else think these names are uninspired, meaningless rubbish?

    I'll probably get locked for this as no one is allowed to doubt the Third Coming. I'll probably get blocked too. But I had to go for it.

    I admit I'm not a huge fan of all the names myself.[face_dunno]

    BB-8 stands for Beach Ball 8.[face_mischief]

    I like it better when it was called "Fifa" lol.

    The names, though: I don't like the ones that are the same as on earth so much (and yes, I know: Luke. It grew on me) but I am also glad none of them sound like a plea for a feminine care product or can be shorted to a Broadway musical. So that's something...
