    I know this is rather quick, but Xaldin just updated that the fourteenth's name is "Shion" and not "Xion." I did a google search of "Shion" and a guess it's a type of daisy. But then again, that was from wiki. O.o
    What did you guys come up with?

    Good point. :/ Though "Shion" is a Japanese name like Sora's Riku's and Kairi's. But I am thrilled at all this new info.

    I've posted this around a couple of times, and sent a pm to Xaldin about it, but this is what I got from a 'Jap to Eng' translator:

    However Shion does not have an X in her name, unless that is the name of her somebody.

    I am still going with Xion for now.

    Xigbar and Xion have the same first letter in their names: "shi"

    Therefore, it is still "Xion," not "Shion."

    Adding to what ヨシュア said, "shi" is the closest pronounciation to the "zee" sound in Xigbar. In Japanese, there is no "zee" sound so I suppose "Xion" (pronounced Zee-ahn) could be the actual name (then again, I'm not exactly an expert at Japanese). But who knows, supposing we should wait for an official word on it.
