Probably only if the kid's father was Japanese. Not that I plan on having kids anyway.

Well alot of people in Japan has name like Umi(Sea) so it's kinda weird and interesting in their culture so Idk which names would be exist which no , it's really hard to predict xd

True, Sakura is a real name even though it's also the word for cherry blossom. I guess it's a Japan thing.

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with Phosphophyllite.
Not changing this signature until P.A. Works announces 2nd season of Shirobako.

Only if:
1) I actually moved to Japan
or
2) It's mother is Japanese

I don't think I'll have kids but HELL NO LOL.

Bullying leads to depression, okay.

Since I'm the OP and this is by far the most replies one of my posts has ever received, I thought I should weigh in.

I have three children and won't be having any more. When they were named, the names were chosen from a combination of names of forebears/relatives, and names we liked. If I were naming a child now, I'd consider names of favorite characters from stories/movies/shows, including anime/manga, but only from among those that sound like reasonable names in this country and which fit the child's ethnicity.

No, never. I wouldn't want that to happen to me, so that would be a no as well for my kid. It's ridiculous that's why. Just give it a normal name..

As long as it isn't a Japanese name or anything that stands out in an unfortunate way , I guess I could. I'd rather my hypothetical child not get bullied, lol.

But then again, who knows if I'll actually get married and have kids???

Not all Anime Characters are Japanese or have Japanese Names so yeah but it has to sound Regal, Noble or Heroic for a boy and Gothicly Elegant like for a girl. Also since I'm a guy so my surname carries over but I have a surname that almost sounds Japanese with a honorific so it's kind of hard to find one that fits my surname. But still I'd prefer a European name over Japanese.

e.g. Boy : Lelouch, Frederick Von, Kraft von, Darius, Cadis Di Raizel

Girl: Octavia, Victorique, Celestia, Selesia, Laura, Silvia, Anna, Anastasia, Irina, Aurelia, Celica

I'd better name them after the Greek Gods than naming them after anime characters.

A lot but not all. And when I mean 'anime names' those like Goku, Naruto and so on. We have different interpretations as to what an 'anime name' is.

I so desperately want to name my future child Lelouch <3 I think it`s a beautiful name, even think it could work for a girl (possibly?maybe?), but .. it would sound really ridiculous in my country T_T Maybe I should move, hmmm..
Please dont... I'm almost certain that the kid would be called Ledouche


Not a problem if your not American or British. Europeans and Asians wouldn't even know it's from an anime if it fits the surname well. I think the most important thing is it fits with your surname so well that no would suspect it's from an anime.

It doesnt matter if they know the meme or not Lelouch sounds like Ledouche so everyone is gonna insult the name lmao

Diana Cavendish? Hell yea I would. I think it's a pretty name and It's not japanese, so it wouldn't be jarring at all seeing a little native american kid walking around with a japanese name.

Though in my family. it wouldn't be a first. (My dad named me after a Final Fantasy character.)

Honestly, no.. but if I had too, I think I would name the kid Sakura. It at least it sounds pretty, but even then I would be a little hesitant to name her that.

This one is nice. It doesn't sound animeish at all.
