I've noted a few glaring and subtle name correlations in the game thought I'd share. Add-on! this could be entertaining!

1 Gingo - Gringo (bad puppy?!)
2 Yubo - Yugo (hue-go a car)
3 Ragus - Ragu Sauce (nummy!)
4 Bodoc - Boat Dock (they kinda sound like fog horns..)
5 Kipee - Hipee (Damn Hipees!)
6 Matis - Mantis (We like plants!)
7 Fyros - Fire (that makes total sense)
8 Caprynli - Capri Pants (Stylish skins)
9 Kitin - Chitin (Kye-Tin type of shell)

That's it for now sure I Can come up ith more soon, I'm bored =D

there was a review during beta where the reviewer referenced them as Hipee's because at the time the font used made K's look like H's.

For some reason whenever I see Caprynli I think of some soap I used in my childhood. Don't ask me why but it sounds like it's a soap or something.

There are alo some pretty obvious item names:

Blok Buckler - Block
Cleven Axe - cleave

but i admit i like the idea of names that have a relation to what they describe.

just mob titles like "suckling" and "puny" are way too blunt imo.
