| '''Amber''' | | '''Amber''' | ||
| The word "electricity" itself derives from Greek word ''electron'', meaning "amber" (because it was first discovered while experimenting with an amber). Also, Amber sounds very similar to [[wp:ampere|ampere]] and can refer to a [[wp:Amber (color)|yellowish color]], representing electricity. Hence, I think this is just a perfect name for a female Electric-type leader.<br>Also, I don't think that NoA will be THAT uncreative to call her "Electra", as almost everyone else thinks. | | The word "electricity" itself derives from Greek word ''electron'', meaning "amber" (because it was first discovered while experimenting with an amber).

| | | Elesa | ||
| | | That's not much better than Electra. Come on, why not Amber? It was perfect and not obvious! | ||

| From freeze. | | From freeze. | ||
| | | Brycen | ||
| | | Sounds like they wanted to call him Bryce at first but realized that it's too similar to Pryce and added a -n on the last minute. The name isn't bad but it's obvious because it has "ice" in it. | ||

| | | Shauntal | ||
| | | It is a real and nice name. But its correct spelling is "Chantal". The variant they chose is unneccessarily overspelled and ugly. I don't like it. | ||

| | | Alder | ||
| | | This name is... okay. And this is actually wrong, as it fails to show his power and epicness. Characters like him don't get names that are just "okay". They should've come with something more creative, really. | ||
