| If I were to marry a Japanese woman and have kids with her then yeah, as long as the name isn't too off the beaten path. Other than that case, it would all depend. |
 |
| i wouldnt think so..lol |
 |
| Absolutely. I just wouldn't tell them. XP!! I'm so cruel.... I had one name I was going to, but I forgot it. |
| I don't think I would, but if someone did it'd be pretty awesome. |
| I've always likes unique sounding names, so I wouldn't be opposed to it. It just has to be done tastefully. A middle name would be more probable than a first name. Though my friend and I were joking about naming all our kids after FMA characters, and mixing characters names around as first and middle names. It was rather painfull ^^ Kimbly, Rose or Maes, Mustang the worst was probably Barry, Hohenheim... lol ouch! |

| I probably would, but just the nickname. Like, Maria is a fairly common name here and nicknaming her "Mai" doesn't scream blatant anime fan. pets... why not? No one'll care. My dog is named Shana XD |
 |
| I wouldn't make it a blatant Japanese name unless my wife/girlfriend was Japanese or something like that, but I like the idea of using subtle anime and game references, like using the name Marisa (from Touhou) when it's actually a semi-common name anyway. |

| no~! |
| Don't think so...because if i did...when the child grows up and asks you how you come up with my name i'll be like...from that anime:D! the kid would be like omg...and dislike it too. |
     |
| This is a funny yet interesting post :) Personally I feel the same way a lot of you do about naming. Naming a child is FAR more different then naming a pet. Too me, it's OK to name your pet a Japanese name because they really don't mind and it's pretty much only you that has to live with it, for example, Akane, Kagome, Migumi, even Sesshomaru. But I would "dub" my child with a Western-inspired anime name if I was given a choose like Edward (FMA), Faye (Cowboy Bebop), or Victoria (Seras Victoria from Hellsing) then keep the origins of their name my little secret :P *Don't forget kids are cruel, so why torture your child?* |
 |
| I don't think I would do this cuz a japanese name to a canadian person would sound very weird. |
 |
| I am going to name my kid Lelouch, okay? |
| Sometimes I'm afraid I would. |
 |
| I think it depends on where you live.If i would live in Germany,I think it would be no problem to name my child Alphonse and call him Al.But it would be a problem to name him Hinamori for example.I guess it just depends on where you live.In my country,Maria is one of the most common names for kids. |
| I whould! But I am sure that my future wife will kill me after this. Maybe after a Dgey man or FMA character will be somehow normal |
 |
i think it will be funny to call my son naruto or sasuke but i won't do it |
| An anime character? No. But I have always had plans to name one of my sons Mojo Jojo (as in...evil genius monkey from Powerpuff Girls) Now all I need is someone to make babies with in the first place...D: |
 |
| Sure I would :P Whats wrong with childeren called Edward & Alphonse? But seriously, my parents gave me an arabic/islamic name but I'm a Dutch Christian ;) (well, I call myself Voron, a Polisch name) So why shouldn't I give my kids not a name I would like, such as Ichigo. Sounds good ^_^ |

| I'm gonna name my kid Guts, nuff said. |
     |
| I would name him Tomoya, let his mother die, get into a fight with him, screw his arm and treat him as a friend instead of a son. After that he will be thankful. After all, he will get a harem as reward. Not bad huh? |
| Umm, no, I don't think so.. |
| Japanese names are cool...but...No. XD |
 |
| It really depends on the actually name; if it sounds to foreign and doesn't fit well with the last name then no I wouldn't name child so, but I see no problem as long you don't tell your child the truth about the origin of the name |
| rawr |
| yes i would! a name from last exile would be bad ass |
-= Quote of the week=- "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction." -Isaac Newton |
| My initials are ERR, yah know, that thing that comes up on screen when it can't process something and screws up (as in a shortened version of error)? You bet it was on purpose :P The first name came from some waitress in Europe that my dad liked... Would I knowingly name my kid after an anime character (assuming there were no other ties)? No. Nor would I name my kid Jeff or Rachel so that they fit in. I would find a name that I like, maybe there will be a connection to some form of entertainment that I liked, and maybe not. My dog's name is Ewok xD edit: Not the poodle in avatar (that's Casey, my sister named her after a teddy bear), the Aussie in my profile is Ewok. His registered name is Samilyn's Chief Chirpa. |
| Nah. I may love anime, but I wouldn't force it on my kids. xD My kids will have good 'ol English names. |
| I like unique names... Simoun names are nice... Neveril & Amuria would make nice names I think :3 I wouldn't name an un-japanese child a japanese name, it dosn't seem right. Although I'll probably be adopting a Japanese or asian child anyway since I don't plan to have my own~ xD |
 |
| I wouldn't do it intentionally but I do like interesting names and I might be subconsiously influenced by anime |
| An anime name for a child? Life is more serious than anime. |

Nanatsu-Kudo said: melficelair said: Try naming you son name as Alucard What people will think about this name ???? I wish I'd been given a badass name like that. I'd like to have two daughters and name them Eve and Shana. Not sure what I'll do if I have a son though. But either way, all of my kids are getting game or anime names. I think you'll change your opinion once you get older. Personally I think you'd regret giving your children a name from a cartoon/game/anime... and your wife will more than likely want to share a part in naming your child. And it might be just me, but I don't think many people would appreciate being named Dracula backwards s:. |
    |
| If I'd get a daughter - I might give her an anime/game name as a second name - that would be enough for me ;) |
 |
| If I were to even consider naming my child after an anime character, it would only be Shana from Shakugan no Shana... it is a nice name with a unique ring. It is doubtful that I ever would do so though. |
| Actually this is a weird thing i was always planning on naming my childern Girls - Cherise ( after s-CRY-ed's [Scheris] I just dont like the way they spelled it so i spell it like i do Cherise) or Seiya ( Black Cat I really like this name cause its a Unique name with a nice ring to it.) or Shana (One of my friends were actually named this and then i found out that it is on an anime shakugan no shana and i figured hey why not it works well in the American Society and its Japenese sounding at the same time.) Boys - Vaughn ( after various anime like Escaflowne and such.) or Train (I really like the sound of this name im not sure how well it'd work in the American Society but I figured it wouldnt be all that bad.) or I was thinking about Light but It probably will sound weird in the American Society. or NOTHING cause i wont have anymore kids than just that. lol. |
Belink. |
| I want to do it, but I cant think of the perfect character maybe Ill call my son Nicholas (Wolfwood from Trigun) and lets see if its a girl... Ill have to think about it still edit - Maybe Kallen if its a girl |

| Yes, i would. |

| Japanese names sound funny when you live outside Japan... But names like Rika, Yuki, Aya are ok... I think... :_: but in no way am I to name my child Lelouch!! XD I can't even pronounce it correctly... is it Le-loosh... or Lu-loosh? Or neither? XDXD but I like the name Cornelia... >:3 |
     |
| I don't see why not, since asian people are often given western names? Not to stereotypalise anyone, but I've met plenty of Chinese Susans and other things. Eeeh... Shizuru is a nice name, as is Suzumi, and I've already decided that my first daughter will inherit her aunt's first name as her own second name- Saaya. As long as the name, as a whole, flows... well- there shouldn't really be a problem, right? |

| Lmao, imagine naming your son Lelouch. Imagine the ridicule such as Lelouch the Douche or some other BS like that haha. |
In sterquiliniis invenitur. |
| Hm, not really, unless...no, never mind. I'm not that selfish. If I really wanted to do something like that, I would buy a pet and give it an anime name. |
