Would you name your kid after an anime/game character?

  1. I asked this long ago in a forum I used to frequent, and I got mixed answers, so Im curious on what sancom has to say about this.

    If in the future you had kids, and assuming the mother/father was also into anime/games, or at least was ok with it, would you name your kid after a character, or choose a japanese name?

    So far I've only met one girl who named her son anything remotely anime like, her son's name is Ryu, after the Street Fighter's character.

    I obviously have a few names I'd considered using if I ever have kids in the future, I like Akane and Eri, a bit more character specific I liked Kallen and Nunnally a lot, Lenalee and Lilinneth/Lilinette were kinda inconsequential characters for me, but I liked their names. I got more but I need to look for the list I made haha

    so what say you?

  2. "If it's a boy, Shinji. If it's a girl, Rei."

    Sure, but not some stupid name like Cloud. Or not weeaboo sounding.

    Off the top of my head, Yuki and Shana are two good names.

  3. Yuki at first I was apprehensive about, because that's what we called sno cones in my hometown hahaha, so I can see my brothers making fun of my kid "haha yuki? really what flavor?" but its too cute of a name to pass.

    just curious, what would be a weeaboo sounding name to you?

    If I was famous enough i would name my kid Cloud and have him play with Gwyneth Paltrow's kid to troll the world.

  9. @ Giga, while I can't say I agree (for obvious reasons) I do see your point. Although there are others who stuck to their language/nationality and created even worse names (and clearly should've never reproduced)

  10. I like saying Senjougahara. A lot. I feel this is a unisex name as well.

    I quote this bit to say it's better than say Kimela. yes i knew a person with this name and i could NEVER figure it out.

    Now as for me maybe i like the name Deedlit myself. Has a nice sound to it for me. Other than that i can't think of any off the top of my head.

    aaah ok. now that you mentioned gunslinger, I liked Triella and Henrietta. Hitomi and Hikaru also have a nice ring to them, specially if they were twins XD

    Well Yuki does mean "snow".

    just curious, what would be a weeaboo sounding name to you?

    Something definetly Japanese that would immediately spur thoughts of anime, i.e. Sasuke, Sakura, Ichigo.
