| I always wanted to name my child Eren Yeager |
 |
| There is only one name that's good enough for my imaginary son and that is... Kamina. Nobody would mess with him. Ever. |
| I would probably give them a more normal name to be honest. Like I really like the name Jolyne for a girl. But for a boy, I don't really know. |

∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ |
| lol I would probably say hell to the fucking no. The only way I would is if the name itself was unique and had some sort of meaning. You don't want to be named after someone from a show...I was named after someone from a show. Although my name is fairly common so it's not as big of an issue, it's just kind of weird and made me feel like my mom didn't put much thought to that name. And when the series was done she ended up hating the character she named me after lmao |

| Sure, as long as it doesn't sound too unusual. If it's a girl, I'll just pick a name from Claymore. If it's a boy....Guts...it has to be Guts... |
 |
| My buddy has a kid named "Jonathan Joestar (last name)" I think that kind of name is somewhat ok but still pushing it a bit. |
| :D |
| There's some badass names, but I'd never do that to my kid. lol |

| Well some anime characters have normal Japanese name like: Sakura etc. So maybe it depends on the last name lol, if it will fit well. If not then I will give them a normal name. The name of my pets are from anime characters though haha. |
 |
| Not my children. That's insane. But I named my cats Mana and Neah after two characters from D. Gray Man though. |
 |
| Not all anime names are Japanese, naming your child Lucy or Eren is not exactly strange. So yes I would. |
 |
Not an anime, but I strongly wish to name my daughter -if I have one- Alice (because of Alice in Wonderland) |
| Depends on the name. Me, being caucasian probably won't give my child some super Japanese name. I'd decide based on the sound of the name itself so if a name just sounds good I'd give it to my child anime or not |
 |
| I would name it after an english name from an anime. |
| :) |
| No because I wouldn't want them to be made fun of. I'm never going to have kids anyway. |
| Only if it's a common name that's not going to get them made fun of. Edward isn't specifically from FMA, but you could name your kid Edward because you like the character or something. I really really don't want kids but I have thought Kamina is a pretty awesome name. Still, I probably wouldn't do that to them, even though it's not that abnormal sounding. |

| I would, but then, I'm also half-Japanese, so no one would think twice about it (even though I don't look it). To be honest, both of my children have Asian names, and no, they don't look Asian either. My daughter's name is Noelani Ki (Hawaiian) and my son's name is Robert Teruji. After watching Code Geass I started calling my daughter Nunnally for a while, since they sound similar and my daughter said she really liked the name too. I still call her such from time to time and she never bats an eye and responds right away to it. If I were to have another child (which I can't do) then I wouldn't hesitate to name that child after an anime character. The problem would be which one! I absolutely adore the name Shinji and I regret not naming my son that when I had the chance. A girl's name would be a lot harder to chose! |

| No, because no one would pronounce it in the proper Japanese way. Japanese names (or basically any foreign name) always sound much nicer when pronounced properly, and not with an accent from the English languages (American, British or Australian; they all sound terrible when saying foreign names). |
 |
| Since I plan to live in Japan anyway, 9 times out of 10 I will. Not smth bizarre like Naruto though. Just a regular Japanese name. |

That's very true. To this day no one can get my name right. My last name is Sakai and I am called every name in the book. It's amazing how often people add, take away, or completely change the letters in your name. I think I've been call just about everything that starts with the letter S. It's actually quite annoying since it's so easy to me. What annoys me most is when I correct them, and they continue to get it wrong. I'm just like "Really? Come on. It can't be that damn hard to say." People often have a hard time with my daughter's name as well. While I think Noelani is a very easy name to pronounce, just today, when picking her up from school the lady at the desk called her Naomi. I looked at her like she was an idiot and corrected her, but as I was told after, I can't expect everyone to think it to be an easy name to say just because it's easy for me. For this reason I just tell people to call her Nonnie. Surprisingly, people have a hard time with that nickname as well...When that happens, I just want to give up on people. |

Just shaking my head at your comment right now, haha. I think people get it wrong ironically because they don't want to sound strange by saying a word that sounds 'unusual' to them. If the situation arose where they had said a word in an accent they don't usually use that sounds strange to them, and they had gotten it completely wrong, it would be embarrassing. But ultimately, they look a lot worse when they try to keep the pronunciation of the names rigidly inside the accent they're comfortable with. |

In all my 29 years, only one person has ever gotten it right on the first try. When I mentioned that to the person, he shrugged and said 'ah, well, I watch a lot of anime.' I laughed my ass off for days. I always just assumed people simply couldn't pronounce it, never considered the whole accent thing. I'll keep this in mind the name time I want to get sarcastic with someone over this issue! |

| Nope, if i ever marry someone japanese, i guess i would. If i don't and really want to, the only name i'd try to give it is Kurisu or some english kinda name. |
| If I married a Japanese woman I might suggest some generic Japanese name like Yui or Sakura. Though I would never give my child some wacky otherworldly name like 'Accelerator', 'Last Order' or 'MISAKA 19090'. |
 |
| Never unless it's common Japanese name. Apparently there are Japanese parents who name their kid from anime/manga that's unusual. I think ppl call it Kira Kira Name. |

Seiya0890 said: But its still disgusting from my point of view, and from the word's point of view, therefore its disgusting. Wise words. |
| Some names are aight, Jacuzzi would be an awesome name. Some of yall forgetting, characters in anime aren't always Japanese and as such don't have Japanese names... |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I don't think so, and I don't think I can too |
 |
| Haha, yes TC, i ever though about that. Only one name though that cross my mind, 'hitagi' Of course it's her, no one have this given name. My favorite character and.. waifu But nah... i won't ever do that |
| Maybe yes,maybe no, but at least it won't be Yagami because: |
 |
| Well, yes and no. I actually thought that if I ever had a daughter I would name her May, because Satsuki means May. But I would never actually use a japanese name, that's retarded (unless you get married to a Japanese person) |
 |
| Battler Ushiromiya's name would be nice. xD *I said with a posed look* |
CapitalistGod said: Battler Ushiromiya's name would be nice. xD *I said with a posed look* Well the name is badass and belongs to someone who is badass...what can go wrong? |
 |
CapitalistGod said: Battler Ushiromiya's name would be nice. xD *I said with a posed look* Never !!I will not accept any random person naming their child Battler .You can name him Kanon ,Genji or something . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
 Has this been done yet? *too lazy to check* |
| I wouldn't mind a son named Dandy. |
 |
| If I do it wouldn't be a Japanese name obviously. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I do like the name Yui. Not sure if I'll name my child that. |
|
| I named my cat Zoro from One Piece and I kind of want to name another category Tsume ( from Wolf's Rain ). If I have kids I want to name them Kira and Tero. Those names aren't from an anime or anything though. |
 Best Waifu: Holo - Spice and Wolf Favorite Anime: Steins; Gate Read my Wolf's Rain fanfic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12618229/1/Finding-Paradise-Wolf-s-Rain |
| I would pick a name that would both be interesting and be of ease during the years of youth of my child. My family name has resulted in me being nicknamed after an instant messenger for the entirety of elementary school. With Japanese having multiple readings and meaning for kanji I'd have to be super careful with my choice, otherwise I might have a son called "Rice Master" or something. |
