I think it's '''Gothirusel''', though not quite sure what's the second part derived from. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC) | I think it's '''Gothirusel''', though not quite sure what's the second part derived from. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC) | ||
:My guesses are ''carousel'' (カルーセル karūseru) or ''mademoiselle''.--[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC) | :My guesses are ''carousel'' (カルーセル karūseru) or ''mademoiselle''.--[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC) | ||
Also bear in mind that much of the Japanese names have the potential to have several references in them. From what I've gathered, "chiru" is the verb for "to fall, to disperse, to disappear," and considering she's the Celestial body pokemon, this could be a clue as to why she's represented as a Gothic Lolita; Goths are perceived as sad and depressed, and if you're a Celestial Body who has fallen from the heavens, you'd be a sad and depressed too. And I know the "Gochi" part of her name is derived from the Japanese spelling of "Gothic," but there is the potential that they intended for "chiru" to have meaning as well. Now, only to figure out what the "zeru" part means. [[User:Oleandervine|Oleandervine]] | Also bear in mind that much of the Japanese names have the potential to have several references in them.

:Sacrebleu! I think I have figured something out. I have found that the French word "Echelle" means "ladder" or "stairs," and it's also used in astronomy, as the Echelle Grating, which is way of splitting light waves in a spectrograph in order to get clearer readings. Spectrographs are used in astronomy to observe stars, galaxies, and planets using only the light they emit. Anyhoo, the "zeru" portion of her name could be a cut-off part of "echelle, and since it's is used in astronomy, and means "ladder" or "stairs," it could be why this little pokemon has the stacked, tiered look to her (almost ladder like) and it could be a link to the Celestial bodies which she is the pokemon of. | |||
