エアリス・ゲインズブールAeris Gainsborough[First name is an anagram of Earth.
In the May 31, 2012 issue of Famitsu, Nojima said that Aerith's surname comes from French singer Serge Gainsbourg. It is spelled Gainsborough in the Official Establishment File.

Most changes we have made to names can be reversed via The Reunion's option file. This one has been accepted as canon and is mandatory (But, worry not, there is a naming screen) Unlike most mistakes in VII, this one has been specifically corrected by the original writers. It is a shame they didn't correct Zack or the other issues as well.		Aerith Gainsborough
22
バレット・ウォーレスBarret Wallace[Possibly from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_Firearms_Manufacturing - or influences like Syd Barrett - and William Wallace. Please note the Official Establishment File shows Barett - one R, two Ts - but the usual spelling is nearly always 2 Rs, two Ts. Some people, including Honeywood, maintain that this is meant to be "Bullet", but official sources and the internal game identifiers (in the field script files, for example) show "Barret/ Barett".]		Barrett Wallace
23
ケット・シーCait Sith[Scottish mythology. Cait is old Gaelic for 'cat'. The name is pronounced "Cat Shee".]Cait Sith

クラウド・ストライフCloud Strife[Likely chosen for his conflicting memory and life. The concept art shows Cloud's mother named Claudia Strauss. It is conceivable that Cloud was to be called Cloud Strauss originally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_L%C3%A9vi-Strauss]Cloud Strife
27
元ソルジャーEx-SOLDIERLit. Formerly of SOLDIER [I have used capital S for Soldier, and not SOLDIER, as this is proper grammar. SOLDIER likely came about because the Japanese font only has capital letters.]Ex-Soldier

64
悪竜王 ヴァルヴァドスEvil Dragon King Valvados[Possibly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_God_%28Cthulhu_Mythos%29#Vorvadoss

Dragon King has numerous possible influences - from Dragon Quest (localized to Dragon Lord), a shogi piece, or from Japanese mythology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zennyo_Ry%C5%AB%C5%8D
or from Chinese mythology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_King

It is likely that Dragon Quest and the shogi piece were influenced from the mythology. Dragon Lord is, therefore, likely an erroneous translation in the English game of Dragon Quest.

It's interesting to note that the Japanese mythology tells of a "good" Dragon King - who is female. In one of the endings to the FF7 play, the Evil Dragon King is revealed to be a female in her true form when the curse is lifted. In my opinion, FF7's main influence is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zennyo_Ry%C5%AB%C5%8D ]		Evil Dragon King Varvadoss
