* Her name can also be translated to "sound of the wave" in Japanese, since the character 音 (oto) can be pronounced as "ne". Alternatively, her name can mean "born from the wave", because of the French "né" at the end of her name ("né" is the past participle of the verb "naître", which means "to be born"). This could be a reference to her birth from Kairi and Sora, as a wave would come from air and sea. However, this may have just been added in the English releases to ensure that her name was pronounced the same way it was intended in the Japanese original.

* It is worth noting that Naminé is the only humanoid Nobody in the series who's name does not have an "X" in it. She is also the only Nobody whose name is not an anagram of her original self. This is made even more unusual due to the fact that Organization XIII found her. This may be because she is a very unusual Nobody. Tetsuya Nomura may also have done this to emphasize the fact that, although she is a Nobody, she is not part of the Organization. It might also be because she doesn't possess any abilities that could be used in combat. Yet another speculation is that Kairi had no darkness in her heart, and thus, Naminé has no "X" in her name.

* Another trait that makes her an unusual Nobody is that she does not resemble her original, full being. Six members of the Organization have had their original selves shown, and each one looked like their Nobody. Roxas not looking like Sora is explained by Ventus.

Six members of the Organization have had their original selves shown, and each one looked like their Nobody. Roxas not looking exactly like Sora is explained by Ventus, so it may be possible that his appearance may have influenced Naminé's physical appearance as well.  
* Upon their second meeting, Naminé says to Sora, "We meet again, like we promised." It is uncertain whether or not she meant Sora's promise to her during the Castle Oblivion incident, her promise to Roxas before he rejoins with Sora, or some combination of the two.

* Naminé can sew, according to the manga, as shown when she fixed up Axel's coat. Though, he remarks that she has no talent for it.
