buzbe said: So as the title says Favourite or a name u think its kool an anime charecter has Mine would be Battler from Umineko I think im gonna name my kids that Um, actually, by "best," I meant awesomely bad. As in names that are so atrocious that they're great. I should edit the original post to clarify that. Sorry. I suppose Battler could count though, since it's pretty damn cheesy... |
| I hate in Eureka 7 how they pronounce Eureka's name like Errr-eka. (In the dub anyway, I haven't seen the Japanese, but maybe the dub felt the need to copy the mispronounciation from the Japanese version?) It sounds so weird! Why name her Eureka if you're not going to pronounce it like the word is supposed to sound, why not just name her Erica? *frustration* having said that I am really enjoying the show :) Also I think it's really funny how in Code Geass, for a major female character who was supposed to be half-Japanese half-European descent, the creators actually went to the trouble to choose a name (Karen) that could be either Japanese or Western, and then the english translators didn't even translate the name as Karen, they translated it as Kallen. What?? Having said that I did see the dub first and didn't figure this out until I saw some episodes in Japanese, so she will always be (awesome) "Kallen" to me :) But I still think it's funny. Lelouch on the other hand has my favorite name of any anime character. But why are there so many characters named "Zero" in anime? Do the Japanese have some kind of fixation on that number? Or do they just think it sounds cool? |

ShadowAlex said: Haha I liked the names :) In Germany they were written Minto, Retasu, Purin, Kisshu, Tarto and Pai though. So you didn't think of them as food in the very first second XD Ew well. The worst name. The first one came to my mind was Iceman Hotty x__X Schneizel el Britannia is not that great either, lol =_=" |

| Lelouch Lamperouge is the dumbest name Ive ever heard by a long shot. I seriously thought they were joking the first time they said it. And Nunnaly isn't far behind. |
  |
| Violence Jack... lol |
| Sverige är ärorikt, såsom jag :-] |
Amex_Yohko said: Another weird name I found in Gundam multiverse, Sumeragi Lee Noriega from Gundam 00. "Sumeragi" sounds Japanese, "Lee" sounds Chinese and Korean and I have no idea where "Noriega" came from. Noriega is a Spanish surname. As in Manuel Noriega. So yeah... |

| Since most anime names are Japanese in origin and I do not speak Japanese and I do not know anything about Japanese language I can't really say if I find any of the character names stupid. |
| Feit Liengod. Oh wait, that's a game. Still godawful, though. I would say Jaccuzi Splot [Baccano!], but his name grew on me and turned kinda cool. In a lame, ironic way, that is... I like Gourry [the Slayers], but it's such an awkward name. How the hell is it pronounced? Gowry? Gorey? |
| Another Worst/Weird Character name from gundam 00 series that i found Hiling Care -----> "Healing Care". See what i mean? looks like gundam 00 has many weird name O.o ( the other one weird name are revive revival and anew returner ) |

| yeah, that one too.But that is a code name so i think it's still ok since lockon is a sniper type |
|
| Speaking of Gundam 00 names, I was looking on the character page for the series and found the name "Ribbons Almark." Seriously, that sounds like something someone would call a kitten or puppy. Waaay too cutesy. :-/ |

It's like wearing a pink shirt. You have to be a MAN to do that. Either that, or it's a gundam pilot from Gensokyo... That's even more badass. |

| Monkey D. Luffy BoboBobobo and Gash Bell... seriously WTF horrid names for horrid animes |
| Gopher. Those who speak Polish know why. |
AngelicLight said: Monkey D. Luffy BoboBobobo and Gash Bell... seriously WTF horrid names for horrid animes I like the Inital D. I like ever-so-hard-to-pronounce name Bobobobobobo |
| Vegeta. Sounds like a vegetable. |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/6444/Letter_Bee/characters Seriously? Steak and Jiggy Pepper? |
 |
| I never watched One Piece. But I think Luffy is a terrible name. & as KyuuA4 said: Sakura, overused name. And this: Hung said: Worst anime name? That would be, Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière. |
| Piggott. |
Otohane said: Lelouch. I mistook it for douche when my friend was telling me 'bout Code Geass in a very loud school cafeteria. It sounds weird but has a nice ring to it. |
Otohane said: AlexisSolitaire said: Otohane said: Lelouch. I mistook it for douche when my friend was telling me 'bout Code Geass in a very loud school cafeteria. It sounds weird but has a nice ring to it. I partially thought of it as that only because I incredibly disliked that anime and still do. Don't hate the fanboys though, they can watch whatever the hell they want. I'm halfway through it. It's okay..zzz sometimes. |
AlexisSolitaire said: Vegeta. Sounds like a vegetable. Agree. Also, "Lelouch." weird. Also, "L". Hey, maybe I should name my kid L. |
| Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière, yes, definently |
AlexisSolitaire said: Vegeta. Sounds like a vegetable. Agree. "Lelouch" and "Lettuce" |
 |
| I agree on Vegeta but i think Lelouch is fine. |
| Rivlaz... |
 |
| Ash Ketchum...--; |
 |
| If I remember correctly, Lelouch is French for "shifty." However, I don't speak French, and cannot confirm that. AlexisSolitaire said: Vegeta. Sounds like a vegetable. I'm fairly sure he is named after vegetable, as most characters in Dragonball are named after items or objects. Emperor Pilaf? Trunks? Pan? Lunch? |
