Why is he named Shulk? Is it meant to mean or reference something?

I worked most of the others out.
Reyn = Close enough to Ryan, Rain maybe? I give it a pass.
Melia = Amelia without the A. Fair.
Fiora = Italian for flower. Works.
Dickson = This is actually a name.
Mumkhar = Has kind of an desert marauder sound to it. I'm gonna barely let it slide.
Dunban = I know it's the joke from the review, but it really is basically Duncan.
Sharla = Somewhere between Charlotte and Sheila? Sounds plausible enough.
Riki = Ricardo.
Egil = It's Evil with a single letter swapped. Hmm.

And then there's Shulk. People make the She-Hulk joke but some of the characters in the game aren't even saying it like that, they're pronouncing it "Shoolk".
