I know for a fact that this has been asked before, but I would like to know myself: How do you pronounce these names from BIONICLE? I personally (try to) pronounce the names in as close proximity to their language of origin. So, I pronounce "Lewa" as "LEH-wah" and "Onewa" as "OH-neh-wah". I actually don't know what language Jaller's original name was derived from, so while I generally pronounce it "DZAH-lah", I will occasionally switch to "YAH-lah". I also want to know if there are any other names that you pronounce differently from the norm. For example, I pronounce Whenua's name as "ɸEH-noo-wah" rather than "WEH-noo-wah", since that is the original Māori pronunciation. EDIT: The "dz" is supposed to represent the standard pronunciation of the letter "j" in English.

What should I change my BZP username to when I get the chance?

This is sort of an odd topic, but it's something that interests me. So obviously all LEGO pieces have their official names, and some have commonly used fan names. But are there any names you use for certain pieces? For example, I refer to the "Agori Head" as the "Hero Factory Head" because it was used on 1.0 Heroes which I knew about before Bara Magna. The same goes for "Bohrok eyes", I call them "Trifighter eyes", because I got the Star Wars trifighter set before I knew of the Bohrok.

What are some patterns with the names of characters in a group? One I've noticed is that the Piraka all have a 'k' in their name, while everyone's favorite anti-Piraka, Vezon, does not.

Two things: 1. Changed my BZP name. I did say it'd become something along these lines eventually. 2. There are two spots left in BIONICLE MAFIA: Five Faction Face Off! Two more people and we can begin.

So...when did the protectors get names?
Takametru007 posted a topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
I don't come here often, so maybe I missed something: I checked out biosector01, and apparently the protectors got names! When did this happen? Who named them? Was it a fanonized thing? -
^Look up there^. I feel no regret, I actually went through with it. It won six-five. By one vote! You made this happen, so if anyone complains people wanted it to happen. Well, I wanted a ridiculous name and I got one. This reminds of the time people lost the ability to spell entirely on a forum elsewhere on the internet. Where vowels were disregarded and it ended up looking an awful lot like written welsh, apart from having no Ys so not really looking like welsh at all. Still, the point was people lost the ability to spell basic words and seemed to only communicate in barely understandable phrases that only barely looked like what they would have said had people not lost the ability to spell. There was also the time that we had a spammer come and misspell everything. As in words, not as in the word 'everything'. Barely understandable, and I don't think some of those 'words' were even words. Couldn't really parse what they were trying to say. Then again, they were a spammer. They don't usually have stuff worth saying other than important messages about whether or not they're hungry and commenting on things completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

We have encountered a problem regarding names. Three votes for two different names. This calls for either a re-vote or a compromise. It's time to re-fight. Your options: 1. Le Selup (As suggested by Portalfig) 2. I AM SPLEL CHEPMSDIN (As suggested by Xaeraz, although I must add that I do not understand the reference.) 3. A Compromise So, go out and vote.

When I said I already had a name in mind in the preceding entry, I lied. Absolutely terrible, I know. You now have about 24 hours to suggest a name. Also no guarantee that I'll use it, but I can still take inspiration from it. It shall last for 45 days, Go wild. It doesn't even have to be a name. If I felt like it, I might even use a name like 'Forums Blogs Gallery Quizzes Raffles Members Calendar Store Tracker Referrals', or 'View New Content', or 'Publish Immediately (Change)', or even 'dgrhjfawgf'! Yes, those can be names. I think. Now... put forward the names of the future!

In a few days I can change my BZP name. Suggest me names, please. Maybe 'I LOVE PUNS' or 'Pulse' or 'Pulsating Pulse' or 'Pulsating Cheddar' or 'CHEDDAR FOR FISTS' or 'NAME SUGGESTED BY BZPOWER' THIS IS TOO COMMON, TOO OVERDONE. Besides... I already have a name in mind for once. While we're on names, here's a confession: I don't hate puns. You know what, comment and I'll give you name based on what first comes into my head after reading your comment. Because nobody said I can't suggest names to you, right? I hope this is legal and not illegal at all.

Ever since I was young, I noticed a similarity between the names of Bionicle and the Japanese language. Now I know that the names (mostly for the first three years) were inspired by Polynesian and Finnish words, but being someone currently learning the Japanese writing language (mainly Katakana) I couldn't resist trying out writing some familiar names in the language (names written in parantheses are the literal transliteration, since some of the original names aren't 100% combatible with the language, I have to make a few adaptations for those names). So without further ado, here are the names of the Original Toa: タフ Tahu ガリ Gali (Gari) レワ Lewa ポハツ Pohatu オヌア Onua コパカ Kopaka And without further ado, here are all the Matoran (マトラン) of Mata Nui (マタ ヌイ) featured on the MNOLG 2: ガーコロ Ga-Koro ノカマ Nokama ニレタ Nireta ニクシイ Nixie (Nikushii) ハリ Hahli (Hali) マク Macku (Maku) マルカ Marka (Maruka) シャサ Shasa ペラギア Pelagia コツ Kotu カイラニ Kailani オコテュ Okoth (Okothu) カイ Kai アマヤ Amaya ポーコロ Po-Koro オネワ Onewa ヘワキイ Hewkii (Hewakii) ハフ Hafu ゴリョ Golyo カメン Kamen アッリ Ally (Alli) ピアタラ Piatra (Piatara) キヴィ Kivi ボウッ Bour ペッカ Pekka アコモウ Ahkmou (Akomou) エペナ Epena オヌーコロ Onu-Koro ウェヌア Whenua オネプ Onepu タイプ Taipu ヌパル Nuparu ダメッ Damek ゼマヤ Zemya (Zemaya) アカム Akamu カジュ Kaj (Kaju) テフチ Tehuti ドスネ Dosne (Dosune) アイイェトロ Aiyetoro アジボ Azibo (Ajibo) マモル Mamoru コーコロ Ko-Koro ヌジュ Nuju マトロ Matoro コペケ Kopeke パカサタア Pakastaa (Pakasataa) タラヴ Talvi (Talavi) コッカヌ Kokkan (Kokkanu) トウド Toudo アラキチネン Arktinen (Arakitinen) ジャアチッコ Jaatikko カヤリマ Kylma (Kayalima) ルミ Lumi ジャア Jaa ターコロ Ta-Koro バカマ Vakama ジャラ ジャッラル Jala Jaller (Jallaru) タクア Takua カプラ Kapura ヌリ Nuri チリボモバ Tiribomba (Tiribomoba) マガリャ Maglya (Magalya) バランデラ Brander (Barandera) アオダハン Aodhan (Aodahan) アファタ Aft (Afata) ヴォホン Vohon アギニ Agni (Agini) カラマ Kalama ケアヒ Keahi レーコロ Le-Koro マタウ Matau コング Kongu タマル Tamaru マカニ Makani サンソ Sanso ツウリ Tuuli クモ Kumo Could you translate any of the Bionicle Names into both of the Japanese language (Katakana and Hiragana)?

Are there any nicknames that users on BZPower use to refer to you? (and/or shortenings/misspellings of your username that are common?) If so, what are they? Does that annoy you?Do you have any nicknames that you use for other members?

So I recently added a horse to my plethora of pets on my Minecraft survival world. However, I have absolutely no idea what to name it. Any thoughts? I was thinking Ronald Raygun, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know the name of those air tubes that are part of the Mahri sets as featured on Bricklink? All the parts they feature have some weird name that I couldn't have guessed.Could someone tell me their fancy names so I could search them and not have to wade through a million other parts on the site? My Mahri get their hoses shredded by a parrot.
