| Unless a miracle would happen and I'd move to Japan, the only Japanese name my future children have a chance to be given is Mai (but rather with y and not i) and it is also a local name. Other than... I may use something that sounds a bit like it, use the first letter or meaning. Unless it's a Jew name, but let's be real, there are rare. And yeah, things like Jonathan can also be transformed easily. |
 |
| Sure, but something that's not outright Japanese. Like Renton or Nadia. |

I think Japanese names should be reserved for those of Japanese ancestry. So if your kid is part Japanese, then go for it. But if not, you may want to reconsider. Idk. Why should Japanese names be any different than say English, Spanish etc, names and so... it is acceptable for people from all around the globe to use them, even if they sound stupid in their own culture. I'm not saying non-Japanese should be barred from using Japanese names. But I personally think it's better for names to be tied to ethnicity. English and Spanish are the dominant language for several cultures, so it makes sense that those names would be more widespread. Japanese is not widespread. |
| I might consider it but only if the character has a non hebrew european name because these are the names that interest me the most |

English and Spanish are the dominant language for several cultures, so it makes sense that those names would be more widespread. Japanese is not widespread. Names are mere words made up by humans to call these living things in hopes to provide psychological distinction. Limiting yourself with some sort of sub-nationalism and naming your children somewhat inappropriately (~Grudge Decimatio) are two different things. Names unbound by stereotypes and beautiful in their own way lie in-between. I wouldn't consider that "sub-nationalism", it's more tradition than anything else. |
| Cute for a pet, cringe for a person. It's the same with naming your kid kylo ren or some got character. Its cringe and will only lead to embarrassment for your kid as they get older |
| I'm not Japanese, so no. I can't seem to relate how admiring an anime character would lead you to naming your children after them. Not like your admiration will take a huge leap. Plus, naming your children after those characters feels more like you admiring the name rather than the character. |

| If I get a daughter, I'm 100% naming her "Javelin" |

| oh yeah goku’s first day of kindergarten was this year isn’t that sweet??? my little man is growing up so fast... yesterday jotaro said his first words too, they were “Ora Ora”! i know it was the right decision to name him after my one and only role model in life, he’s gonna take after him for sure |
 |
| Oh my, I'm glad you asked. I too want my kids to be bullied so they learn how to appreciate small things, such as adequate and proper names. |
 |
| Well there is a anime character that does share the same name as me and she is a knight! I mean I see no big deal as long its not some weeb shit like Sasuke or Itachi. There are a ton of characters that have British/English names for me to choose from. I really like the names Annerose and Hilda. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I'll name my son "Pico" of course, no regret. |
 |
| Imagine being named vegeta or piccolo lol |
| Sure, I don't have a problem with it. Some japanese people give their children american names so why not? |
| "It's not like I wanted a signature or anything...BAKA!" - A MAL user. |
| I just think "Eren" is quite an æsthetic name, I also think "Anakin" is, but I have nothing with the latter character. |
 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |
| Well, abortion is apparently fine, so exerting this level of control over the future of a living, breathing entity that wants to just grow up and live should be seen as such too, considering it's comparatively less impactful. Go for it. Name your kid Naruto Uzumaki Smith. Have a fuckin' ball with it. |

| It depends on the name how bad it may end up being for the kid. A boy in a western country named Naruto or Makoto or Goku or Vegeta will have problems. But if his named Edward or Joseph is not that bad. A girl named Sakura, Asuka, Tokiko, Hitagi etc will be too obvious. But names like Saya, Emilia, Anna, Rei, Karen etc can be quite passable. |
| there is many names I like from anime characters , but most of them from villains ....... so not gonna name my kid with that..... |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| I would find that very cringy unless your child was Japanese. People also should not choose a person's name based off of something as unimportant as a TV show. Names are far more important than that, and should be something more meaningful |
| I think it depends on what character honestly. Some character names are actually pretty cute such as Sakura (in my opinion anyways) |
| Would name my children Gurren and Lagann lmao. |
 |
| I wouldn't go naming them naruto or anything remotely Japanese(unless my partner happened to be Japanese). I'd do something more lowkey like Jonathan, Isaac, Miria, Sofia, Levi, Johan, Emma, Edward, Sebastian, Joseph, etc. I'd kill to name my kids Megumin, Dio, ETC. though. On another note, you could name a girl 'kurisu'(steins;gate), and just call her Kristina. I might do that actually lmaolmao |

| I work as teacher, I think it's super entertaining. Makes my job more fun. I met a kid named Kamina. Not a bad name at all, either. |
 |
| I don't see anything wrong with it but, if it was the parent, I wouldn't name my child something outer-worldly. |
 |
| I mean I wanna name a future daughter (if I have one) Jolyne. Nothing too crazy I guess. I think giving them very Japanese names (of course if you're Japanese yourself that's chill) isn't a good idea. I mean think about it, if you can see your child giving bullied for heavily for their name, I wouldn't give it to them. |
 |
| I'm never having children but dear weebs please don't do that to your future kids unless the the name isn't something too unusual in your part of the world. Western or western sounding names will most probably work out fine in most parts of the world but a more Japanese sounding name may not unless you are living in Japan or have a Japanese spouse. I for one would have hated to have a name which others would make fun of or tease me for. |
| I think it's fine unless it's way too japanese or something that really stand outs, like goku or naruto(that would be a fkn disgrace for the kid). That aside in reality i have a japanese name (akira) even though i'm hispanic(my parents chose the name), But i've never been bullied or something near for that, I just drag the attention of people time to time about why and things like that, But it has never been an issue. Although i hated the name when i was little and found it weird and i was very ashamed, But now i don't really care about it and it's nice to be sometimes the center of the attention just for your name lol. |

Because Americans are stupid and don't know how to pronounce Japanese names lol; they can't even say four-lettered words like "sake" right. xD |
