I've never felt that Iceheart was an appropriate name for her, it implies things completely contrary to her character, and frankly has no positive connotations.

Hiding just in case someone hasn't finished the HW storyline yet (though there's probably plenty of spoilers already in this thread ^^; )...

Well, in retrospect, I can see how she supposedly shares the same spirit, the same 'heart' as Shiva, whose element is ice. And from there, I can see the positive connotation.

But no, without knowing the full storyline, I agree that there's little positive about it.

If you use the japanese client, each character's own way of talking is probably distinguishable enough that you can tell it's uniquely them before they finish talking.

Well, yes. But like I mentioned in a previous post I have Japanese audio but English client, since I'm far from fluent enough in Japanese (especially written Japanese) to be able to understand anything ^^; Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough in the post you quoted.

I think the Iceheart thing actuality makes sense, [...] The intentions of the people using the name (Thordian and his Knights) which are also clear, are also a factor.

Except it's not only the Ishgardians calling her that; it's her own people, too. Unless my memory completely fails me.
