Names...
Why do the ancients have such weird names?

I'm not 100% sure why their names are like that, but maybe they're descriptions of qualia (very small moments, according to Moon) important to the Ancient? It makes sense for most of the ancients, besides the "Ancient farmer-poet Pel" mentioned by Moon in one of the pearls.

Names for Downpour Echoes
Can we, as a community, all decide on names for the two unnamed Downpour Echoes instead of just calling them Undergrowth Echo and Shoreline Echo? Maybe name them vaguely after small moments in the history of the Rain World community, kind of like the qualia mentioned in the last topic. I don't know, it just bothers me that two of the coolest echoes in the game are nameless. I don't exactly have any ideas, but I think it'd be cool if we gave them the names that they rightfully deserve.

Scavsarecool Do they not have names in the code somewhere?


 * Unfortunately, in the code, Echoes are identified by their region acronyms. The names we know of come only from the achievements, and the new Echoes don't have any so theirs remain unknown.
 * Community names for them would be fun... But probably not relevant for the wiki. Using fan names for creatures works because there isn't any other, canonical name; Echoes must have one even if we don't know it, so using anything else in a place of reference like here would be misleading.

 * I'm guessing thus also applies to Saint's Sub Structure echo? Bent is broken (talk) 13:07, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * we could always ask the devs if they have names, it would be better than us giving them. Gryfall (talk) 12:38, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it would be fine to attribute fan names to the Echoes, as long as they don't start thinking that it's a canon name. Bent is broken (talk) 01:22, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If the devs did not give the echoes names, they probably did it for a reason. It's not the responsibility or in the spirit of the wiki to conjure up names for the echoes out of nowhere, there's nothing wrong with calling them Undergrowth and Shoreline echo.

 * there should be a disclaimer or smt that the names are not canon, got confused for a bit xd Wern moment (talk) 22:56, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
