>>55392774I agree. It's a "serious", somewhat old-fashioned name (I think?) which fits to him being a bit of a hick and the serious moments of the story, yet it allows for a really cute nickname with "Kiki" too to represent his cute side.
I played the DLC in German for a bit and it's just not the same. Carmine doesn't even give him a nickname cause his name is already so short ("Jo", probably pronounced Yoh). Just a terrible choice all around, I dunno what they were thinking there.
