The Pearl Harbor one took a second for me-

[BlackCat-hmsf]

I always thought it was "Marina" as in "Mariana Trench", and "Pearl" for the pearls found in the clams and other pearl-producing mollusks that live in trenches, Mariana Trench included

[gus]

Pearl's japanese name is Hime, which just means "princess" and Marina's japanese name is Iida, which is a pun on Idako (a species of octopus)
so theres that lol

[lillyhall]

A group of sharks and eels
Calimari
*p e a r l h a r b o r*

[lazdahuman]

Also! Shiver and Frye's names are references to a hot & cold dynamic, which is why Shiver always says she's cold-blooded. Big Man's name is also a pun on man-ta rays.

I always thought Marina was named after the Mariana trench where most squids live and pearl was just named after a pearl.

[sherbertshortkake]

There are actually a ton of puns and implications behind Pearl And Marina's names. Pearl Harbor is only the surface...

[Saga_endever]

I think Nintendo knows what they were doing when they came to Pearl and Marina

[theomegaowen]

Cool we have sharks, eels, calamari, and PEARL HARBOR

[mistywolf]

pearl and marinas faces were just hilarious after her name was turned to harbor

[VGF]

The next idols be like:
1. Darcy and Winston (Darwin)
2. Cody, Greg, Troy and Adam (DNA bases)

I CAN'T BELIEVE I THOUGHT OF "the black pearl" WHILE THINKING OF THIS DUO!!!

[Nico-vthm]

In Spanish Shiver is called "Megan" as "Megalodon" a huge mythical shark and Frye is called "Angie" Wich sounds a lot like "Anguila" Wich means Eel, and Big man is named "Rayan" as "Mantarraya" Wich means "Manta ray"

[UltraZigZag]

Pearls are valuable shiny round things rarely found in clams

[Sick_in_love]

In Italian, Callie and Marie are called respectively *“Stella"* (star) and *“Marina"* (same as the one from Off The Hook basically lol). Together, they form “stella marina" (starfish).

Then, Pearl and Marina's names are respectively *“Alga"* (seaweed) and *“Nori"* (a type of seaweed you can find on sushi, onigiri, etc.). Combined, they form, obviously, “alga nori" (nori seaweed).

And finally, Shiver, Frye and Big Man's names are respectively *“Pinnuccia"* (a mix of “Pinuccia", diminutive of “Giuseppina" + “pinna", fin, but also derivates from the mollusk Genus “Pinna"), *“Morena"* (a female given name, but also derivates from “murena", moray eel) and *“Mantaleo"* (a mix of “manta" or “manta ray" and “Leo", short for “Leonardo").

When I saw the Pearl Harbor part I genuinely had a coughing fit for a half a minute

[Maxler]

In spanish, ita funny cause pearl and marina are called perla and marina. Perla marina literally meaning underwater pearl. Shiver is called megan while frye is called angie. Big man is called rayan.

The callie and marie are called mar & tina. Which together forms "martina" an actual name that people call their children. Also mar means sea and tina is close to tinta which means ink. So maybe its sea ink

[GLITCH_]

The way that the child "YAY" squiggles my brain

[peeeeeeeeeeaf]

lesser known fact: a group of manga rays is called a big man

[DragonPrinceZaCaliber]

At the DJ Octavio boss fight in Splatoon 2, the squid sisters actually realize how their names sound together
