=== Etymology ===
西島 - (Nishijima) The 西 (Nishi) in Waon's last name means west, whereas the 島 (Shima) means island, so her last name can be roughly translated to The West Island.
和音 - (Waon) Her first name Waon means Chord, which would fit with the musical theme. However, it could also be a play on Wan, a Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog barking.
コード - (Chord) a group of (typically three or more) notes sounded together, as a basis of harmony. Or play, sing, or arrange notes in chords.
