Ive noticed something about these ranks. Rank 16: Kal Ory = Calorie
Rank 17: Al Urgic= Allergic
Rank 18: Art Rytus = Art Rytus (its a disease when the bone joints hurt)
Way to point out the obvious.

Those are the French names actually. Well, I think

Romeo (Al Urgic) has an awesome haircut
When did it ever say he was called Anna Lyse? That's a girls name anyway.
For me it looks like a girl

Not at all, it's a French pun

It's an English pun too then, for the word 'analyse', but it's not pronounced anything like how Razorbeard said.

Not to mention that the French pronunciation is different from the English one xD

It's clever how Ubisoft managed to harness two puns out of one word. What's the French joke, out of curiosity?

By the way, isn't the english name for the first doctor Otto Psi? It sounds like autopsy

Wasn't that the French name or something? I know Art Rytus addressed him as Otto though, so..
Aargh, it's all so confusing!

Otto Psi
autopsie.
Roméo Patti
homéopathie.
Garatta Ciatik =
gare à ta sciatique.
The first one also works in English, the second one is understandable too.
Kal Ory

calorie.
Al Urgic

allergic.
Art Rytus

arthritis.
Those names were the original English translations, but it looks like the developers forgot to replace them in the game.
As for Anna Lyse, I have no idea where this name comes from. It's a pun for the word analyse (which works both in French and English).

The French names are a lot better than what we could have been given.

I cant believe most of you are figuring this out now. I knew about these puns the minuet I heard their names.

I have to agree with Shawn, it seems impossible to miss those puns ^^
