| Or give them any Japanese name? Just a random thought. Names like Kenji & Ryuuji seem pretty cool for boys & I like girl names like Nagisa aswell. However, I think it would be kinda weird to give non Japanese kids these names. Thoughts? |
 |
| A Japanese name? No. I'm not Japanese so this would only be fitting if the child's other parent was Japanese. A western name shared by an anime character? Why not. |

| As long as it's an actual name, why not? Though in Germany it would be rather unusual. Also, the authorities here are rather strict regarding children's names, so anything outlandish is out of the question. Edit: I personally wouldn't do it. |

| yeah I plan on naming my future child Kirito |
| Yes, i have considered naming a child after a anime character, however i would want him/her to have their own identity. I have always been fond Misaka from A Ceratin Scientific Railgun and a few others |

| Japanese name to a non-Japanese ?, I feel like it would be ruining the life of the child. |
| If it is a boy name him Lelouch, if it is a girl name her Nunnally. Your children will be proud to have parents like you. |

| I would give my child a Japanese name (after checking its meaning in all relevant languages). And I wouldn't actively name my child after an anime character, but if I like a name that also happens to be one frequently used by animes I wouldn't particularly mind that. |

| Giving japenese name to a non japanese ? only weebs will do that. Plus i dont want kids to call him a weeb and make fun of him just because of his/her name |
 |
| my first born will be named Itachi and my second will be Sasuke!! if they're both guys ofc |
| God no, you should be mentally challenged to think that's a good idea. Do you really want to see your child suffering from bullyism? |
 |
| Not sure about that but I have pets that are named japanese: YURI the doggo and YUKI the catto, which I considered as my children in a way since I'm their hooman mom. |
| Does it count that I always wanted to name my daughter Emilia (I have no kids yet). Even before I started watching anime. |
| Hell no. Once you start subjecting your weebism onto your own children, you've crossed the damn line. KamijouToumaIB said: Does it count that I always wanted to name my daughter Emilia (I have no kids yet). Even before I started watching anime. Emilia is an Italian name, so even though there is an Anime character named Emilia, it's not as bad as like, Tomoyo Okazaki or something along the lines of full blow Japanese name. |

| At this moment no. There is a lot of japanese names I have hear but no one I like for a child. |
| I always wanted to give my future child a Japanese name, I think they sound so beautiful but it wouldn’t make sense to unless they have a Japanese father. |
 |
| As an anime character as such, yes. I plan to name my daughter Louise, like Louise de la Vallière from Zero no Tsukaima. As an actual Japanese no, never; too much of Western chauvinist I am. Even as I want my daughter to be called Kaho. |

| Possibly. I wouldn't give them a japanese name, but i really like Rika as a name, which happens to be the name of Rika Furude from Higurashi. I just worry i'd curse my daughter into an endless death loop or something if i gave her that name. Also this seemed appropriate. |
| l would totally do if my wife would be from Japan (but otherwise l wouldn't) |

| Almost certainly not. Star Wars, though? All too easy. |
| I'd name my son, Welldone The Pussyhand. |

| Hahaha no unfortunately I'm not mentally handicapped. |
| I wouldn't name my child after anyone. |
 |
| No. I think when it comes to name, the simpler and more common the better.Would not want the child to suffer bullying. |
 |
| no.. i would not, but it's actually pretty fun imagining to give one. not japanese, but Lloyd sounds pretty good :P |
| People already name their "furbabies" after anime characters so why not "real" babies y'know. I have no plans for kids, but if I had plans knowing myself I'd be sure to pick a meaningful name. |
 |
| No way. A pet maybe but even thats unlikely |
| Well Japanese name ... no If i have children ( i don't belive ) , i I would call it If it's girl Nao ( yes , it's Japanese name xD) |
 |
| No, naming my kid after a Japanese name sounds a bit weird even if I'm Asian it just doesn't feel right. I'd name my kid after a Fire Emblem character though lol, Soren for a dude and Hinoka for a girl, but I'm not gonna have kids so... |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| Definitely no, too unique name for my country, kids would make fun of her/him. But I could name pet after someone,but I don't think I would do that. |
| No, people that name their kids because of a fictional character (not only anime) are R E T A R D S. You can like some names, but naming someone only because you like a character is dumb af. |
 |
| No I would not. Because unlike a lot of parents, I would actually consider the repercussions of giving my child a strange name. Such as when they start going to school. Kids are brutal. |
| Depends on which one, and what their name is. I'd go for something that sounds natural on its own in English. For example, if I wanted to name a child after Homura Akemi, I might call her "Dawn", while "Daybreak" is only possible as a middle name, and "Akemi" is completely out of the question. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Lot's of people are talking about their kids being bullied for having a weird name, but weird names aren't so uncommon in the West. And the kid could go by a shortened version anyway. My boyfriend's first name is Zacharius, and while sure he was made fun of, he went by Zac most of his life and when people found out his whole name he would deal with it. And when the kid grows up, it doesn't even matter anymore. What kind of adult would tease another adult for having a weird name? I personally don't think it's a big deal. And honestly, I would have to think about how my parents and family would judge me if I decided to name my kid Akira or Kirito or whatever lol |
  |
| Name is part of your cultural identity and im not japanese or weeaboo so no. İ think its borderline of weeaboo if name sounds natural otherwise you are next level weeaboo. |
