Duh. (What's in a name)
Square's slightly off-kilter yet apt use of names amuses me -- contrariwise, there's also the extremely random Laguna and Irvine, which happen to be the two closest cities to mine. Methinks somebody took a couple of darts to a map of California and/or chose them under the "Let's pick names that are barely pronounceable to native Japanese speakers!" method that spawned Zell, Quistis, Squall, and Loire.
But I digress, as usual.
Point. Here it is? Ah yes.
Auron = "gold". No, actually, Aurum = gold, and Auron is a Latin word with Greek ending tacked onto it.
I assume everyone knows what his name means, and then I suddenly realize that not everyone gets Latin shoved through their pores in school anymore. So, just in case that had never clicked, there you are.

Why am I not finishing writing this chapter? Argh.

Y'know, if a lion bit me I'd be more like "OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFGOMFGOMFGWAHCRY SANTA I WAS GOOD I SWEAR I SWEAR" as opposed to something as lamentably tame as "oh dear."

Grabbed from wikipedia: "Shin-Ra" is written with the Japanese kanji 神羅. The individual kanji mean "god"/"divine" and "snare"/"net"/"silk". The "Ra" is also often used to represent Rome.
This page http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/nchara.shtml#10 also provides some interesting possible leads, though I am not certain how accurate. :)
