Name your children - 08-29-2008, 03:39 PM

Would you give your future children names of anime characters? And if yes, which names would you choose? =)


My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thoughts, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Definately not. If I however was Japanese, I might (seeing as many characters in Anime has regular japanese names). Come to think of it, there are regular western names in Anime too, does that count? (if so, the answer could be yes).

Edit: Ofc in that case it would just be a coincidence, and not because I wanted the child to have the same name as an anime char.

Gah why even bother? Pointless thread.

If with a Japanese spouce, I'd maybe consider giving my child a Japanese name, but then again if I were to have a Scottish kid I ain't gonna name them Hamish or Agnus...

So it's a definate no.

ah, maybe... but prefer no.
But some names are okay. Because such names are used usually.
Such like mine, is used in many anime.


花は桜 君は美し 春のこもれび 君の微笑み
冬が終わり 雪が溶けて 君の心に春が舞い込む...

The man was sitting on the black bench.
He was drinking white wine
When the girl stepped in, he said:

"Can you see that rabbit on the wall!!"

Girl started to cry and said:

"Father, there isn't any rabbit on the wall"

And the man was standin on the border of his mind

My name is Tabby, so having a child with a name like Yoko or something wouldn't seem that random to me... ^_^


Hihi people of the world...

No, because they tend to be Japanese names and not English ones, I'm not Japanese. Some of the names in anime are normal, Japanese names, which is fine for a Japanese person, but not for me. Things like Misa and Naomi would be alright, since they are quite common to be used outside of Japan aswell, but other than that, no.
