They're pretty creative, I mean c'mon. They won't ever be 100% unless Tobias comes back though.

Mavado, he got his beta name from Malvado which means evil in spanish, Bo Rai Cho, had his beta name from Boracho wich means drunk in spanish, Kabal means precise, accurate in spanish, Hotaru emans firefly in japanese, and so on.

That's interesting.

Some of the names have meaning. Other I think were chosen because they sound cool.

Scorpion- In mythology, Greek or Egyptian, the scorpion was a creature used for revenge or protection.

Quan Chi- Means bad lifeforce

Sareena- means serenity

Goro, Kintaro, and Motaro's names mean something, I don't remember though.

Sheeva- Probably a play on Shiva the goddess of destruction(?)

Reiko- Means watchful, alert. I also heard there's a Japanese(?) myth where a character named Reiko fought giant demon spiders.

I think Kenshi means a student of Japanese swordsmanship.

I think there was a thread in Classic MK Discussion a while back that said Goro means "the fifth son of..." And I think Kintaro was the name of a Japanese mythological creature.

Ken means fist, Shi means death, maybe Kenshi means Fist of Death.

Mavado comes from Malvado which means evil in some language, spanish or smoehting.

Shinnok means 'Fox' in Irish. Although it spelled sionnach. Maybe shinnok got his name because hes crafty like a fox....

I think Kabal comes from the word "Cabal" which means A number of persons secretly united for some private purpose.

A while back there was a video of making MK3, during sometime during the video said few MK team members sit down and have a "pow wow". They just all out names and write them down for a certain character. Of over that course ( days or how many times they do it for a character) they choose the name. So I guess that is the way they have done it, unless Boon,Tobias, or Vogel already had a name in mind.

Kenshi comes from Kenshin b(he was named blind kenshin) and Kenshin=Samurai

wasn't there a thread exactly like this not too long ago?
