    Nothing. I don’t usually really care about character names.

    Those are pretty good names. You could use them in most ant type of western situations (games, anime, manga and etc).

    Nothing, but the fourth one immediately makes me connect the other three too with their respective pokemon characters

    Is this a reference to something? Because it seems very contextual on a topic that most people don't know about.

    Selena I would say Battlestar Galactica, TOS. Lana would be Smallville. 4th name? Just pick anything from a baby dictionary.

    Calem:- Reminds me of french bread
    Serena:- Reminds me of twins
    Lana:- reminds me of a pal who face planted on the floor after failing a handstand
    4th:- Pokémon but that may be because I watched a romhack of firered recently.

    Western names are just meaningless names, with babies named after famous people, ancestors or food. So Ai-chan doesn't think anything about those names. One of Ai-chan's own characters is named Serena. Now if it's Japanese names however...

    Calem sounds popular in america kind of name, like the name for a male lead in a dystopian novel
    Serena is an old name that's uncommon these days, at least in my area
    Lana is standard
    Giovanni screams italian

    I beg to differ, most people do look up the names' meaning when they look for one

    Calem: in my language means serene/ quite person, usually a refine person
    Serene: like goddess of moon(?)
    Lana: a cheerful girl
    Geovanni: funny and blantant man

    Lana is cute, Serena sounds like arogant young lady and Calem is kinda weird... Doesnt sound like good name.

    NGl story might be shit.

    I kid you not; I will avoid a story if an american decided to name his character some japanese shit. weebs are gross and mfs making up bad names are shit too. Just name a character joe, steven, micheal, andrea, etc shit like that maybe even bob.
