| Europe (EU) | Latin | A blended pool reflecting French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch traditions. |
| Korea (KR) | Hangul (Latin) | Hangul names with a family name first; the given name is usually two syllables. |

How It Works
- Type a Mii name and choose the region it came from. The engine normalises the input โ case, accents and parenthetical romanisation are all ignored โ then looks it up in that region's index.
- When a match is found, the engine identifies the cultural role the name fills (strong, bright, peaceful, blossom...) and returns the name that fills the same role in each of the other four regions.
- If the name is not found in the chosen region, the engine searches every other region and shows you where it does appear, so a name of unknown origin can still be traced.
- Use the Name Generator when you are naming a Mii from scratch. It draws distinct names from one region's pool so the result feels native to that region.
