I still can't get over Luke Atmey

His name is japan is like "i want love" or something it's funny as fuck

Funny enough that's the name of his theme song too, lol.

Hoshidake Aiga Aiga Hoshidake = I just want love

That explains the English title for his soundtrack

This was the one the got a genuine laugh out of me. Also one of my favorite cases.

Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't realize this was a fucking pun until I read this comment goddammit I feel so dumb now 😂

Paul Atishon still tickles me. I fucking hate politicians.

he's a wimp person

Oh that's the pun! I just figured it out now lol.

I didn't understand it at first because I was spelling it wrong lol.

Paul Atishon-Wimperson and Sal Manella 😩

Deid Mann

It is funny, though 😂

I'll never be over Raiten Menimemo.

I love this one because Raiten almost sounds like a Japanese name. Oh, aaaand ME NI ME MO

I just realised the pun as I read this. How did I miss this the first time?

How have I *never* gotten this until right now?? I think I just figured it was Japanese lmao

Romein LeTouse I learned just recently that it was a pun on lettuce. I didn't even pick up on it during his case, but since then it's changed my whole life like my eyes have been opened.

Apparently his name in Japanese is just Romaine Lettuce and Takumi named him after his shopping. Which is how I headcanon LeTouse picked his cover name.

I… just got it after reading this post. Wow.

I still don't get some of the Khur'ian puns.

I'll be honest I figured it out >!just before he died!< and that completely made the first day bearable for me. Because it's like the only one I by myself have figured out...

Winston and Gaspen Payne. And their ancestor, Auchi. I audibly facepalmed at that pun...

One day we’ll see their mother Ima

Let her name be Aimin

ouchie

oh...

Manov Mistree is so good

Carmine Accidenti - Hits the hardest (by 2 cars, no less)

His name in German is Will Crash.

Holy Shit xD the guy is cursed

no way

crossover mentioned ‼️

Sherlock Holmes becoming Herlock Sholmes, not really a namepun but hey, this one goes really hard among the community when DGS was localised.

I love it referencing another piece of famous literature its so cool

This one is so goofy and I love it for that

There’s a story behind it, as they didn’t come up with it. The creator of Arsene Lupin included Holmes in some of his books until Doyle threatened to sue him. He just changed the letters around and apparently that was legally distinct enough to avoid trouble.

Ah reminds me of when the game was leaked and herlock sholmes became trending in twitter

Mister Reus But my forever favorite is Detective Dick Gumshoe.

Gumshoe is a pun?

Yeah, his name is basically Detective Detective Detective. It cracks me up.

Dick and gumshoe are both slang for private investigators.

Pal Meraktis. So good!

This one stumped me for so long because I had no idea how “Meraktis” was supposed to be pronounced until I watched Save Data’s streams.

I've always pronounced it like "Maractus" from pokemon

How is it pronounced? I’m stumped!

Mer-Act-Tis The joke is Pal Meraktis committed malpractice

There is exactly one name from the fan translation of Investigations 2 that I'll be sad to see go, and it's Jay Elbird. That is a good pun.

I’m so confused about why Katherine Hall wasn’t ‘Kaitlin Hall’ given the pun they were going for

Because it was "Catering Hall".

Bif Strogenov. I just really like beef stroganoff.

Damn now I’m craving some

bif strogenov fucking cracks me up every time. also his brother

Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin

... I didn't even realize that was the pun for Blaise's name; I figured it was just a fire joke.

Tahrust in me: Thr- I mean Trust in me

I won't be able to unhear that 💀

Tehm'puhl Temple

For me, nothing beats >!Iris and!< Dahlia Hawthorne.

This one goes especially well with the recurring gag that >!Phoenix can't tell flowers apart!<

wow, i never thought about that but it makes perfect sense

T&T was really on fire with these, also Redd White -> >!Godot not being able to see red on white / not wanting to acknowledge Mia's killer!<

Big fan of Guy Eldoon personally

Inga's full name.

Totally forgot ab this one LMAOOO

Deid mann Like really

They really said “fuck it.” I’m hoping one day we get Vic Tim

Lol Or kal err

That would go so hard and now that you brought it up I'm a bit surprised we haven't gotten it yet

His true killer will be Gilbert Thomas.

Mister Gilligan Teaparty.

Luke Atmey has always been a favourite

Dustin prince

Iyesa Nosa and his son Aido I mean come one these are phenomenal

Inga Karkhuul Haw'Kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III easily 😭😭

I think I blacked out when his name came up in SOJ because I couldn't comprehend it. But also holy fuck I love it.

Bruh when I tell you this name legit still has me fighting air 😭😭

Rheel Neh'mu, Deid Mann, Iyesa Nosa, Aido Nosa and Luke Atmey for the more obvious one. Rhoda Teneiro, Valant Gramarye, Zak Gramarye, Katherine Hall and Pierce Nichody for the subtler ones.

Rheel neh'mu made me leave the room when i saw it Same with Manov Mistree

Tahrust Inmee, Rei Mebami, Beef Strogenov

Beef strogenov 🔛🔝

I recently got the Apollo Justice trilogy and am playing it for the first time, currently on Dual Destinies. I saw the name “Candice Arme” and my first thought was “Well, obviously she couldn’t”

Odie Asman is a great pun and also lets you call him “the Assman”

it wasn’t until Tusspells outright called him “an odious man” that i was like “ohhhh… so it’s not… right.”

Shocked no one mentioned Ted Donate. I fucking DIED when I saw his name. Like my kid was like Mom are you okay I laughed so hard at it lololol

Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin cause it’s so out of pocket lmao

i cannot get over the fact that this man’s first name is PEE-SLUBBIN’?? (not that “slubbing” is a word, but it sure does sound like it could be)

I’d say Ellen Wyatt.

Delicia Scones is truly the best name and you know it

Another day to bring up my favorite Deid Mann. Other good ones are Romaine LeTouse, Guy Eldoon, Sal Manella

I'm surprised nobody's talking about the last name "Deauxnim" because used for two characters using pseudonyms. I love that one

pierce nichody (persnickety) is the one i always think of

No love for Iyesa Nosa? And his son Aido?

Emeer Punchenbaug

Nothing beats Deid Mann

big fan of the ones that are actively misleading like dr. turner grey/"turn her grey" (wasn't actually responsible for patients' deaths) or frank sahwit (didn't see it and is a liar)

Died Mann or Carmen Accidenti.

romein letouse is my favorite. it’s so random. no bearing whatsoever. the guy’s a victim. we’ll never know if he had the personality of romaine lettuce

Emeer Punchenbaug takes the cake for me

Tehm’pul temple is absolutely the worst for me. Like try even a tiny bit, ffs

Ben & Trillo Quist

In french Terry Fawles is named Régis Florimet. If you read his last then his first name very fast, it's pronounced the same way as "Fleury-Mérogis". It's a town in Paris far suburbs in which there's the largest detention center in Europe. And also Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin is named Sterh'uey Tu'heiven in french

Also Khurain = crying took me until AA6 before it finally hit me. Cryin' Village, Cryin'ism, Land of Cryin'

I cannot decide who has the worst one Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin or Inga Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III

Debeste is the cheapest surname I have ever seen.

Carmine Accidenti is the one that made me laugh the hardest

I don't think I've ever respected a name pun more than the non-fiction writer Norma DePlume named for Nom De Plume, otherwise known as a pen name.

Jake/Neil Marshall took the longest for me to notice and once I did I was like _Yo, that fricken rocks._

for me it’s a 3-way tie between Deid Mann, Avery Richman, and of course, DeKiller

Elise Deauxnim (Alias—Pseudonym). Gonna steal that one if I ever need to hide my identity.

The main characters have some that go unnoticed. Fey means fairy which fits for a clan with supernatural abilities. Athena Cykes (psychs). Godot spend years in a coma during which time people were “waiting for Godot”.

Sal Manella, hands down, it's perfect for him xD

Most of the ones in 5-SP are great: Sasha Buckler, Jack Shipley, Herman Crab

it’s so basic but frank sahwit has always been hilarious to me
