well, let me put it this way: it can technically be understood as meaning "new home", it's just not correct grammar/ totally correct syntax. Kind of like using a weird/different than normal kanji to write something, I guess.
And yes, I was just going to say it is the kind of name you would give to a town, hehe. That's why the first association is more like "New Town/ home in the sense of place/village rather than actually home/house".
edit: they just used German in a way they use english, sort of.
Not that Wing was always totally correct with its use of foreign names, but they generally did better than this one, which is a bit weird- not near as bad as the Hilde Schbeiker, which is just a complete c*ck up
Poor Hilde, we always felt sorry for her for that one
Didn't mean to be nitpicking either, just thought if its German/Italian/French/ the works bothering you, I can help/ clarify easily
