Hey, new poster to here, um, here. (I'm one of the guys involved in the first translation attempts of the BS Fire Emblem transcripts, from before more detailed/formatted/correct material came along)
I don't know how helpful this is, but I tried looking up the name "Ced" on thinkbabynames.com because, strange as this sounds, this is pretty helpful in figuring out if a name is "real" per se.
Ced \ced\ as a name for boys is of Old English origin, and the name Ced means "kind and loved". Ced is a variant of Cedric (Old English). Rather quirky as a baby name. Variations
Ced has 10 alternative forms via Cedric: Caddaric, Cedrick▼, Cedrik, Cedro, Rick▼, Rickey▼, Ricky▲, Sedric, Sedrick and Sedrik. Popularity
Ced is a rare given name for men. Ced is a unique last name too for all people. (2000 U.S. Census)"
And for extra research points: "What does Cedric mean?
Cedric \ce(d)-ric\ as a boys' name is pronounced SED-rik. It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Cedric is "kind and loved". The name was invented by Sir Walter Scott for the character Cedric of Rotherwood in the book "Ivanhoe" (1819). It appears to be from Cerdic, the name of the traditional founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cerdic was a Saxon, and his name could also have been of Germanic origin, though it is uncertain. However Cedric can also be associated with the Welsh name Cedrych meaning "pattern of bounty". The name later acquired a "sissy" image due to Cedric Errol Fauntleroy, the long-haired, velvet-suited boy hero of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1886 novel "Little Lord Fauntleroy". See also Kedrick. Actor Sir Cedric Hardwicke; Cedric the Comedian."
I don't want to dig any further than that, but it at least makes it apparent that 1) It's a real name, even if ridiculously obscure, and 2) It seems fitting for the character it was assigned to.
Incidentally, I can't find Fury or Ferry or whatever in this, so you are indeed right in that not being a name. (Then again, I can't find Tinni on it either....)

Figuring out how useful Romanic name research is for goofy psuedo-Romanic Japanese-made-up names.
