Really? I thought Enter Shikari would've been mentioned more. I do have the origin of their name though, which I will now recall from mah thought box x)
I think one of Rou's relatives had a boat called Shikari which means 'Hunter' in some tribesman language. Aborigine I think. You probably didn't care but my hunter's on a 10 minute flight in WoW and I want to feel useful.

This kid in my computers class did a powerpoint presentation on Enter Shikari and said Shikari means "battlefield or warzone" or something. So he said it was along the lines of "Enter the battle"
He could be wrong, I don't know, but he did seem to be a fan.

In that case I have no god damn clue xD

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't even mean anything.
Paramour means "lover," I believe.

I could be mistaken. I'm not into French.

Yeah something along those lines. Paramore always makes me think of bacteria or something though. It's just got one of those germ-sounding names. IMO anyway.
