So I was talking to SK about how weird some of the choices were for the military alphabet. Like, using Greek letters seems alright, but then you get to things like golf, papa, etc. So on our way to Texas this weekend, we decided to try and come up with a Final Fantasty related name to use instead of the military version. And it really seemed to pass the time fairly well.

So we have a list, but I wanted to see what you guys would come up with. I'll list everything here on the first post and as you make suggestions, I'll add it here. Once it's completed, we'll see about doing another one of these.

A- Atomos
B- Bahamut
C- Chocobo
D- Diablos
E- Ether
F- Firaja
G- Gilgamesh
H- Hi-Potion
I- Ifrit
J- Jecht
K- Kain
L- Laguna
M- Malboro
N- Necron
O- Omnislash
P- Potion
Q- Quistis
R- Ragnarok
S- Sephiroth
T- Tidus
U- Ultimacea
V- Vivi
W- Wrexsoul
X- X-Death
Y- Yuffie
Z- Zeromus

Whenever we fill something out for every letter, I'll post the one SK and I put together. There's quite a few differences in it already. Most of the differences being more general terms than character names.

I was originally going to use more magic and item names, but it just seemed easier to go with character names.

Actually, you've done a good job of that thus far. Like, your A is a lot better than the one SK and I picked out.

X-Death
Necron (I remember for how stupid it was)
Omnislash
Ragnarok
Tidus

That should finish the list (especially since you missed adding "Potion" to the list, Lantis).
