Call Xayah and Rakan's V-Day skins "Lovebird"

This is a very early thread, but that's because I want to bring this up before it happens so there's time for skin name changes to be made/voices to be heard (this is good for both players and people working on the skins)!

So Valentine's Day is coming up in a few months! I'm super stoked and one of those reasons is because two of my favourite champions (Xayah & Rakan ) are probably getting this year's Valentine's Day skins (considering they haven't received any skins since their release and they're huge candidates for Valentine's Day skins as a couple)!

I'll probably be extremely happy with whatever ends up coming out outfit/ability wise since I love the colors and themes of all the other Valentine's Day skins in the past and it's actually one of my favourite skin lines!

The only thing I ask is to not give them the traditional "Heartseeker" for adc and "Sweetheart" for mage/support skin names like before. Please please please name them "Lovebird Xayah" and "Lovebird Rakan".

Not only does this nod towards their heritage of being vastayans with bird characteristics, but it's also the perfect gag for players who love jokes that are also non-jokes! It would be extremely clever and refreshing (not to mention they're a couple, so their skins should stick out from the rest of the Valentine's Day skins as well)!

Please let me know what you think! Thank you for reading!

Honestly I would prefer they keep the “Heartseeker” and “Sweetheart” names, but I wouldn’t mind if they went and called them “Lovebird” instead.

I'd honestly be surprised if they weren't called "Lovebird" Xayah and Rakan respectively.

would be a nice change to the usual "sweetheart" and "heartseeker" names!

but im kinda worried about how the theme of the skins would be like, i mean their base skin colors are already pretty...valentine themed right?

just making those colors a bit lighter wont be good enough?

I personally don't want them to get 2018 V-day skins, I'm waiting on my girl Nami or some supports to get sweetheart skins, theres sooo many heartseekers (why is orianna one?) not enough sweetheart support/mages imo.

However yes when they do get one, Lovebird would be cute ^-^

Is it me or does the term "lovebird" sound really sexual?

I highly doubt that Rakan and Xayah are going to get the next heartseeker skins. There are champions that were came before them that had not recived skins other than there release skins(AurelionSol ,Taliyah Kled ,). I might be wrong though and they could get it. I think the skins they more likely going to receive are the Samsung Galaxy team skins.
