[Discussion] Omg how did i just come up with this now?!

[LBeezy]

yea that cossed my mind as well

Lol great minds think alike.

Not really, I just got tired of OP fans connecting a lot of unnecessary dots,
Didn't know Usopp's name was based on Aesop tho, even at that, I don't get the implication(s) of Elbaf being Fable spelt backwards.

I feel you on that though man.. it can get pretty ridiculous at times.

Like this time, and I'm normally tolerant to theories. This one just makes no sense to me.
Basically, it's, oh Usopp tells stories (fables like Aesop) and Usopp likes elbaf Giants, and suddenly elbaf is fables spelt backwards is supposed to have any meaning.

I should just give it a rest........ :wesobi:

it's pretty clear it's inspired by it

plenty of people noticed that before

oda is such a hack

Actually there is lot of thinking behind that.

Usually name, characteristics, looks, desires -basically a whole person, is interconnected, these aren't isolated things.

Now whenever you create a fictional world, you're practically imitating real life because that's all you can really do, who can think up a world that has elements not present in real life in some form? And there is the thing that we don't understand this system of world/people to it's core so that one could just change things on a deeper level.

In simple terms, it's like when you go to a doctor you don't self-diagnose, you tell them symptoms as they are because although something may not mean anything to you they may mean something different to them. So I think when mangakas do this they're preserving that value in reality, rather then recreating something we humans don't yet understand, they reflect it. There is integrity in that.

I think even after a lot of thinking on "how do I come up with names that suit this" they may end up taking inspiration from real life.
