I didn't want to make a whole topic about this, but it's still interesting so I'll just stick it here. 
So as most of you know, Velika the Po-Matoran is actually a Great Being in disguise. I was completely floored when I discovered this fact 3 days ago.
What you may not know, is that in Russian and some other Slavic languages, "velikij/великий" means "great" (as an example, Great Britain is "velikobritaniya/Великобритания").
Which means Velika is literally derived from the word "great", and this should have been a major hint as to the characters true origins. Now I know in the Official Velika Guide topic (it exists lol), Greg said they hadn't planned this reveal way back in 2006. So it could just be a coincidence (or maybe he was lying ). But it seems too perfect to be a coincidence, especially seeing how the story in the past has been littered with these little hints everywhere.
Though I suppose it is possible that they randomly picked a name and then decided the character's fate after they discovered its meaning.
Stranger things have happened.
(i apologize if this has been pointed out before)
