A married otaku fan of eroge classic Kana: Little Sister had some explaining to do after his wife found out that he had named their daughter “Kana,” after the girl from the game, not after some a character from classical literature as he had claimed…
The man apparently harboured a great respect for adult game classic 加奈 〜いもうと〜 / Kana: Imouto (available in English), and when he learnt his child was to be a girl, he knew “I had no other choice but to call her Kana.”
Since his wife had dibs on naming the child if it was a boy, he was able to name her Kana, telling his wife it was from a book he had read in which “Kana” was a “wonderful, good little girl.”
However, he had kept the game’s box underneath his keyboard, and his wife happened upon it and realised his deception.
When he returned he was confronted, and soon had to explain himself to his wife and both his and her parents; since they had no idea what an “eroge” was, he was forced to play it in front of them.
We do not hear what the results of this encounter were, but his rather optimistic speculation on 2ch was “Perhaps they’ll be so moved by it they will forgive me?”
2ch was naturally in its element in helping/excoriating him:
“Poor Kana-chan.”
“Just say your daughter’s name came first, and you bought the game because it excited you.”
“That’s sheer genius.”
“It’s sheer perversion.”
“What’ll you tell her when she has to find out her name’s etymology at school?”
“I was intending to give my daughter an ancient name too: Haruhi. Sadly, I couldn’t. I’m jealous of your bravery!”
“It’s a good name, he should be given a break. Just because it’s from a 2D work is no reason to scorn it.”
“If his daughter finds out she might kill herself.”
“I wonder what a classmate’s reaction would be to an ‘Izumi Konata’ in the class. Well, I’m a virgin anyway, so…”
“Why was I named after a character from a BL manga? She told me it was a character from a manga she liked…”
“I was going to call my daughter Fuuko, but my wife watches anime and so when Clannad came out I had to change it. Now I will call her Fuuka so I’m safe.”
“In 15 years there will be a lot of Miku about…”
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
“Divorce.”
“It’s a great game so it’ll be safe!”
Questionable naming practices have been all the rage in Japan for some time now…

This dad is WIN
definitely a true hero.
Now all girls named Kana will be asking "Daddy did you play that game too?"
^
THIS!
its stupid to even think of criticize the men, i mean comon what's ur name? john? hannah? whatever? google ur name and u'll probably would find pornstars with the same name. Coincidence or not its a name pornstars r ppl so they name like normal ppl, same goes for movies, games characters. he named her daughter kana, so what? just cuz the kana from the game is ecchi doesnt mean the baby girl it is or has to be too. i think the woman was just looking for an excuse to get attention. woman u FAIl. b glad the guy still likes u as much as he likes the daughter after what u have done.
KANA GA IIKO DA
^
That really reminds me of the game
"to explain himself to his wife and both his and her parents; since they had no idea what an “eroge” was"
I lol'ed so hard on this
He could have just said it the idea came from Kana from Kanamemo.
In the guy's defence, I will point out that Kana ~Imouto~ is a classic, beautiful and extremely moving utsuge which has achieved semi-legendary status for it's tear-jerking qualities. While it would be a bit embarassing to name your daughter after a h-game character, the name Kana does have strong emotional associations for fans.
simca was amused
*awards 'otaku father of the year award' to that dad*
rofl
also the *'LOL award of the day' to that dad*
who cares if those awards are just made up, simca is amused so go shoo~
pro father. too bad he just had to keep the box, like all otaku. would have been epic.
At least it sounds like a name! Unlike those bizzare stuff some fellows with their heads in the clouds could come up with. Like Renesmee or some name written in binary.
I wish my name were written in binary.
I bet his wife, since she could name the boy, would name it pico anyway.
^
LOL
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…” <<< LMFAO~!
Actually I'm gonna do the same thing.
My (hopefully) daughter is gonna be half Japanese half Turkish and I plan on naming her either after one of my favourite eroge or ero manga characters.
Or video game character - I might go for Ayane from DoA.
I want to name my son with the main character's name in the anime "Interlude"
Wohoo! Epic father of the year!
Oh boy, have I got a story to tell...
In the mid '90s, I heard about a couple who named their daughter "Gwaelyn", after the princess in the American Dragon Warrior 1. I remember thinking at the time, "what a couple of nerds, naming their kid after a character from a video game.."
Flash forward to 2008, when my daughter was born and I decided to name her Luna Alexandria. By an incredible coincidence, she happened to be born during a lunar eclipse, so I told my wife that was what inspired me (rather than the characters from a beloved Sega CD game =p). I also had the advantage of a nicer name than the one my wife suggested; Gwendolyn Akiko... ugh.
considering the VP of overstock sharres her name with a porn star
Stormy Simon (the vp) Stormy Daniels(the pornstar)
i say who cares where the name came from
IT WAS A COINCIDENCE LEAVE HIM ALONE
After seeing the bravery this man had, i decided to name my first child, female or not, as "Butseks".
Surprise birthday parties would never get boring.
Moral of te story?
Only get digital stuff. No phisical copies.
I'm naming my daughter Kudryavka from Kudryavka Naomi, and in case anyone bitches about anything i'll just say i picked up from the russian dog that was sent to fry on a russian rocket.
Kana is a perfectly fine name,my two cousin have very weird name
1) Denver (27 year old hikikomori)
2) Sony (35 maybe mom with 2 kid)
Win.
Some things are best lied about, even to the dearest of your family. Nobody would argue with, "I liked how it sounded."
Are there any subtleties of the Japanese language that makes it near impossible for the characters to mean anything else?
How many ways can you spell Kana as a name?
Better than the father of that baby Sephiroth.
Kana ~Imouto~ really had a emotionally touching story though. I wouldn't have mind reading it without the hentai scenes either.
What? I have every intention of naming my daughter Lilia. The name sounds normal enough so it's not a problem but guess were i got it from.
June and May here.
that dad wins
Yeah, but what dumbass hides an eroge under his keyboard?
He deserves a WinRAR ! :D
EPIC ETYMOLOGY LOL
*Gendo Ikari*
if its a girl REI, if its a boy SHINJI.
:D
I'll name my SON .
I thought the story was beautiful. I think it’s great but it could have been worse. My niece likes the nickname “Yazmin” which sounds like the star of some bad 3d trap porn.
ohhh fuck yea
nice work, dear sir
stand up for a round of applause
Well, Kana is a common name so it could have been from anywhere...
He could even say he named it after Minami "I Am Boss" Kana...
I like the 2 responses:
~ “It’s a good name, he should be given a break. Just because it’s from a 2D work is no reason to scorn it.”
and
~ “My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
Her wife plays too much Persona games
*His
Erika Sendou sounds like a passable normal name, right? Worst comes to worst, I'll tell her I named her after the pokemon trainer.
Erika is normal but Sendou... good luck with the surname
Was the first(and last cuz my comp broke down) visual novel I've played, and WTF I had that exact same idea to name my future daughter Kana if I ever got one....
hmmm mebbe after this article was written I'll go with something less suspicious like Minorin or Kagamin....OH WAIT
See, this is why you have to have a backup plan before you name a child after something that your wife won't respect.
I'm sure the name Kana can be found SOMEWHERE in Japanese classical literature. The idiot just needed to find it somewhere and remember where he found it BEFORE ever suggesting it. Then he's got the source handy if his wife ever suspects anything. It's not rocket science.
