I can add a little addendum to the names bit - not that this bit is exactly
helpful.

Washuu got her name from a location in the Okayama area - Washuzan, which is
a mountain top recreational, museum-like observatory, scientific fun place.
Kinda like Griffith Observatory here in Los Angeles.  So when Washuu wants
to be called "Washuu-chan" - you get the idea.

Tsunami has meant and will always mean "mother of all tidal waves" to me.
End subject.

Tokimi?!!  Somebody help us!!
