| I'm certain Erika is a pretty common name so maybe I'd name my child Erika Hopefully Erika would grow up and become a detective and solve murder mystery |

| i would not name my child after an anime character |
 |
| Nah. I feel like it would be something I would regret later on and my poor kid would be the one paying the consequences. |
| Japanese names, no, since I am an American and i have a European last name. An English name might sound okay, like a Fullmetal Alchemist character or a Cowboy Bebop character, but i would never blatantly name my kid after an anime character. |
| No, like why would you do it? But if you're Japanese or have a Japanese wife I don't see why not! |
| Nah. I enjoy anime but, I wouldn't obsess over it by naming my kids idk what |
 |
| Eren it is then :) Nah i got something better Keyaru! |
 |
| i don't know, i would if any of the character sin my favourites had a normal name, i'm of course not going to call someone cinnabar or fyodor or bondrewd or kusuriuri or sensei, if i move to japan i might call them mafuyu or oreki maybe, or even makishima(probably confused surnmaes and names) if i don't move to japan i can always call him jhonny and jojo as a nickname, but i wont do that ebcause i plan on being a decent father to my son, that i don't plan to have at all, i'll just buy a rock and call it cinnabar plus a bunny and call it nanachi |
| If it's an English name I probably might but other than that it is a no. |
| If I want my kid to get bullied, then yeah lol |
 |
| A bit off=topic, but this post made me remember that A LOT of people named their daughters Daenerys or Khaleesi. I wonder if they regret it... And yeah, i would name a kid after an anime character, but only stealth names like Mei, Dio, Stella (not to be confused with Satella) Naming a girl Megumin would be funny for about a week |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Oh yeah, if I had a daughter, I would name her Yaya! |
| Maybe, depending if it was a good name to have in my country and if my partner agrees/likes the name. |

I personally wouldn't name a kid after a character in an ongoing series, especially one like Game of Thrones. Unless it was something like Jon, because you could totally deny the GoT connection later if you turned out to not like the character. You could probably name a girl Megan and nickname her Megumin, at least at your home. |
| Damn, this thread is hella old :o and yeah I will never do that. |
| Wow, A thread that isn't on the forum games that has 1428 replies, The necro threading is wild |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
I know I keep necroing this thread, but I wanted to say that the other morning I was in my room watching Claymore, and my dog Mr. Tadakichi wouldn't quit barking so I went to see what it was and he had a kitten in his mouth. I rescued the kitten and named her "Priss" after the character Priscilla, who was on the TV at the time. She scratches a lot while playing, but otherwise hasn't been like the terrifying human guts-eating monster that was her namesake. Looked through the Claymore wiki, I actually have the same name as a very minor character. If you want an English name, Claymore has a lot of good female ones. Some others sound more Italian or Greek, like Luciela, Raphaela, Galatea, etc. "Galatea" was the name of Pygmalion's statue in Greek mythology. I live in America, so even the Greek-origin name "Cassandra" wouldn't be out of place. "Miata" is better known as a type of Mazda sports car, so maybe not that one for a little girl. Some of the characters were real bitches, so I'd kick them off my potential list. (Looking at you, Roxanne.) Like nobody in that series has a Japanese-origin name... which is probably why I find them so easy to remember. I've seen four seasons of MHA and still can't remember half of the characters' non-hero names. EDIT: part of the reason I posted this was because I wanted to show off my new kitten |

| I don't want to give my children some kind of strange name. Now Japanese names might sounds very cute for us weebs. but for general folks it might sounds strange. I do love anime and Japanese culture but I don't want to link them to my life. That's my opinion for this topic . |
 |
| Why would i hurt my child like this? I mean tbh, I can dirty myself and become a weeb and do something like this. But after I die, I know this child has to wear this name until the end. Would be a big troll move, but hell no |
| Man this thread is ancient, makes me nostalgic. |
 |
| No but here are going to be my kids' names if it somehow works out x) 4 kids, 2 girls, 2 twin boys Eldest Daughter - Rivendell (Riven for short) Middle Twin Boys - Sora and Roxas Youngest Daughter - Ellanora (Nora for short) |
     |
| No. (30 characters limit except BBCode) |
the thing is, you can really screw up your child's life with a name. |
| If I ever have another one...yeah, I'd give it consideration especially if it was a girl. Kanna Kamui (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid) first and middle name Hana Isuzu (Girls und Panzer) Yukari (also Girls und Panzer) Chise (The Ancient Magus' Bride) Kase (Kase-san and Morning Glories) BTW, although my nickname KEN isn't Japanese (short for Kenneth), I like to tell people it is. :P Also, I have a friend who named his first-born after his WoW character so, yeah, there are people I'm sure would name their kid after an anime one. |
 |
| I wouldn't name my child, unless I merry a japanese. I would name my pet after an anime character though. |
 |
| Time to necro this thread! Now that Ranking of Kings has ended, does anyone want to name their daughter Miranjo? Any future Bojjis out there? |
| only if I wanted for the kid to live a tough life. imagine going through school years and whatnot as some kind of Naruto Insertlastname or smth like that. the kid's gonna get bullied into oblivion and either become a school shooter or some other weird shit |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| Maybe my pet, something like "pochirin" |
| |
| Idk is there an anime character called Cosmic Nuclear Explosion Mega Destruction of Death and Doom Deadly Mortal Deceasing Life taking Aggressively Offense Gilgamesh of Eternity and Infinity and Continuity Pestilence? Because that's how I'll call my kid. |
| Uhhhh, it's not a character, but maybe Chunchunmaru. Very unlikely though. |
 |
| I don't think I will, but if I had to, probably light or Griffith. |
 |
| "Would You Name Your Child After An Anime Character?" Probably not. |
 |
| A pet, sure. But a human being? I think my child would resent me forever if I named her Kobato. |
 |
| I don't even want any children, so no. |
 |
| Maybe, If it was some unknown or a little known character sure like Rin I don't see anyone knowing who that is. But not like naruto or luffy thats outrageous. |
 |
| Depends if I end up really like the character name and they have a huge impact on me. But it has to be something cool, not a (forgive me) basic Japanese name. I want their name to be unique. |

| @mokkocchi Why do you keep reviving very old threads? Also yes |
 |
| Although it can be done sensibly, no, I would not. But if I were to, I would choose a name that would fit the country the child is born in (as in it is a common name that would not bring attention to the child or make people associate them with anime). The names Sara or Alice, for example, are super common in my country. And people would be quicker to associate Alice with Alice in Wonderland than with Pandora Hearts. Disclaimer: I never saw Pandora Hearts, just using it as an example |
| As a Chinese and as someone who will marry another Chinese girl, there is probably no opportunity Im gonna name my children a Japanese or English anime name. |
 |
| Definitely wouldn't. Imagine what your partner would think lol. |
