| I would maybe name my girl Lisanna. |
| my little hamster's name is Goku. |
| Why sure... Rebecca (Yugioh) Wendy (Gun x Sword) Spike ( Cowboy Bebop) .....etc |
 |
| If I had a son I'd totally name him Char. |
| I hate you all. |
| I would SO name my daughter Yuki or Haruhi. And if I had a son, I'd name him Kyon. ;D |

| I'm naming my kid Oskar. I don't even care. It's a perfectly fine name. As for a girl, maybe Lain. It's a pretty name. Though if I have a kid with polydactylyl you can bet It's name will be Kinzo and it's first words will be Oh desire. |
| Unless that name is common in the Western world or it's by some miracle a Vietnamese name, I wouldn't name my child after any fictional character. Children should encouraged to be themselves in my opinion, and to name them after a character you like is a little selfish. Then again, I totally admire Robin Williams for naming his daughter after Zelda, so I'm a little hypocritical in this regard. |
| Not that I would ever get the option of naming a child(my future wife would probably kick me for trying to name anything) but if I did....sure. I would probably use a nice name that rolls off the tongue(like Yoko or Lina) with a common place middle name so they can choose. I don't really like my own name that much so giving my child/children a slightly unique name would be cool. Edit: I wouldn't name them in honor of a character but society be damned if I didn't find Japanese names to be nice. |

| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| Nah most probably after a video game character. Boy: Kalas Girl: Zelda |
| NEVER! They would never forgive me if they ever found out. Reminds me of a family friend who named his son Luke just so he could say "Luke, I am your father" xD |
| I definitely wouldn't name my child after a Japanese name or Russian name etc. Maybe if they DO have an English or Spain name. It depends. I could most likely name them a Spain, Geek etc. name. Like maybe Roger, Sasha, Susan, Sophie etc. |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| I would Definitely. If the English translation is good than why not. I have a great Last name that goes with almost any unique name. His name would me Nate River and my last name. I have two kids and I didn't know about anime until after they were born. :( That name would have been perfect for my youngest son which I always compare to N from Death Note. |
| If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.. |
| Kinda weird if your kid is white and has a Japanese name and neither the blood mother and father are Japanese... To address the question, if it is a girl I might name her after some girls from Aria. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Maybe if there is a name who sounds a little like in my lanugage. and I will change so it will sound good. May=> May (We don't say "mey" as they say in English) Ren=>Ran |

| girl Meiren [from Dance in the Vampire Bund] |
SharinganGirl said: I wouldn't do that. But dreamed that i had a daughter called Rena My cousin's name is Rena 0_o |
| Hmm, perhaps I'd name my daughter Zelda. But then again, even the famous people have done that (Robin Williams for example). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelda_Williams |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| I'm not Japanese so why the hell would I name my child after an Anime character? Hell, it's probably not even legal in Portugal for you to name a White kid "Akira" or something like that. Pets yes, children? Hell no. |
 |
| Well to me, it depends. I have to take into consideration how he/she will be looked at in the future as they grow up, since their name may feel out of character to others. I don't want to just name my kid after an anime character since that sounds like no real effort or meaning in the name. However, there are certain names that I feel would be acceptable such as Suzu or maybe Kanade since they don't sound all too Japanese. I'm Asian, so I feel like my kids can get away with having a Japanese name easier than other races. |
  |
| Well I was planning to name my son Jacuzzi Splot... Then again that would be stupid so my answer is a no. A poll would've been nice though. |
| "Reality is a story the minds tells itself. An artificial structure conjured into being by the calcium ion exchange of a million synaptic fringes" |
| I'd love to have a daughter named, Ayu, Taiga or Rin =) |
 |
| No, I would name my child a japanese name that just so happened to be the name of one of my favorite anime characters. Xp |
| I would feel odd naming a kid something Japanese since I myself am not Japanese. I do have a dog named Akira though, but he isn't named after the anime but instead after the director Akira Kurosawa (my dad actually named him that too not me though I was all for it as well). |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| Alex (Louis Armstrong) for a boy, Alicia (Florence) for a girl. Any obscure or incredibly Japanese name would make my kid hate me forever. |
| In case I marry a girl from Japan, assuming that my children will be opposite gender twins, I'll most likely name my son Yuki and my daughter Kokoro, they are rather common names and as such shouldn't be a problem. However, I disapprove of the idea of giving children names like Inuyasha and such. |
| Aren't most of the anime character's names just typical japanese names?? It wouldn't be like naming your child Gandalf or Legolas or something like that (even though i know of people who have done that ) |
| yes i would... Me and my boyfriend has talked about this rather casually...we're planning to call our first son or daughter Yukito/Yuki.And other sons Azyl and Skylar (or main protagonists in each of our works) |
 |
| If I had a son; Lelouch If I had a daughter ; Lulu yep I'm bad at picking names >__< |
| honestly i used to think bout naming my daughter ( if i ever get one in the future) konata lol but thatdda be weird but reall cool |
| Back in the 70's and 80's Finland was influenced with the "Bold and the Beautiful" series, so alot of kids' were supposed to be Roger, etc. Anyway, i do love Japanese names, but if the childs mother isn't Japanese, then probably not gonna happen. |
 |
| No. Just becouse i'm living outside Japan. The name "Okabe" in a country like Russia feels strange, Isn't it? :3 |
| Calling my son Rolo? Uh no thanks that sounds more like an animal name and a candy name when its used outside of the realm of fiction. Although I wouldn't mind calling my daughter Louise, Luna, or Emma since those are my favorite Gundam females and they don't sound too bizarre or weird cause I don't want them to be beat up on the playground or anything. Dx |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I think the likelihood of me naming my child after an anime character - provided they had a fairly normal, generic name - would be greatly increased if I lived in Japan, but seeing as how I live in America now, that'd be highly unlikely. xD |
 |
| No. At the most I would name a pet after an anime character, but even then, I'm not completely sure about that either. |
| Hell yes !! |
  |
| Sure. I'll name my son Deelicious. |
| No. i'm not a Japanese. besides, i wanna give my child a name with thinking and meaning |
| Seeing as how I'm a gay man and it's highly unlikely for me to have biological children, I don't think it'll happen, lol. I did name my cat Athrun though ( from Gundam Seed ) :D |
| Aria is going to be a name i will use... DONT YOU DARE TAKE THAT NAME! I use Katsura, Aria, Mio, Nanaiel in MMORPGS I don't see why not calling someone as those names. Btw Aria is an italian word and so is Mio so technically they're not Japanieesy ...Aerith, Arys, Ariel, bleh im starting to feel foolish throwning these names around. I'm a fan of 2-syllable names that start with A |
