Quote by reesexsooxflyi like the name sora...yup yup

me too! that's what i'm gonna name a girl. as for a boy...well... i dunno ^_^'

"Oh Hell no" was my first reaction because there are some really wacked out names out there. But upon thinking more about it, there are some decent-sounding (and even awesome!) names too, so, um, can I sit on the fence for this one? Besides, I don't want to think about having kids yet! :)

yes i will maybe Eiji or Ryoma
for a Girl Hanon or Momoko

ahaha, i used think 'yeah, i should name my kid....' and all that, but in truth, i was planning on much original and creative names since it would be odd to have a kid with a japanese name when they're really chinese. x.x

Not that i'm planning to have children in the near future but I have to admit that I do like some of the names that I have heard during my anime wanderings. Although I wouldn't even think about labeling a poor child with the name because of a specific character, there are names that I do like regardless of the characters they were on. But more then likely I would give the names to my pets - not my children.

uhm, if the anime name is cool enough, then i'll choose it! Hi. Why not?

It's kinda cute, isn't it? True

no.

HELL NO! Thats like something I would do for a dog.

Quote by wickedchildYes, there are some nice Japanese names out there like RYU, Kyo, Kisa, Sakura, and my favorite AYA

I have to agree with you. They're just so interesting names! ^_^'

Lol no O.o, but i gotta admit that some names are really nice and i could give them to my kids but not because i like the guy/girl, more like cuz its a nice name.

At first I considered calling my future child after an anime character, but these names are really strange for my country and I think that people would always stare at him or her because of his/hers name....So I guess I'll go with traditional names...

No...definately....! Children should have normal names! You can name your cat or dog after a character! :P

Oh man no way in hell.

Depends on the character. Naming a kid Al(phonse) or Ed(ward) wouldn't be noticable. Naming a kid Kenshin or Ichigo? Might be acceptable IN JAPAN, but I wouldn't do it stateside.

Well~ yeah, probably would. ^-^ As some names are quite nice too.

Sure, there are some really cool Japanese names that one could choose, much better than a few I can just think of off hand. But I don't think I'd name a kid after a character I though was cool, it would be because it was a cool name to begin with.

well I think that it depends.

If it were a girl I will put Kari, Sakura, Hotaru or Mireille

If it were a boy I will put Kai or Fye ( Oh my good! Kurogane not of course XD, the child will kill me when he were allowed)

oh maybe...most likely YES! haha :D i mean...some anime names are quite cool...i don't mind naming my kids KYO or RUKIA...but of course i won't name my kid INUYASHA...it's just too weird!

where are you from? ~_~

Being a true Star Wars fan I named my son Anakin. Seeing as how I won't have anymore kids, I doubt that there will be further naming them. Many moons ago there was an Anime called Galaxy Rangers and there was a character named Nicole - she was so gorgeous! Needless to say my daughter is called Jade Nicole.

welll taht would be so damn cool. I would name them after characters of a book (im no bookworm... the fantasy names just sound so cool). Im planning on a japanese kid or kikds and wife so yeah japanese names are alright.

I thought about this for a while, not sure if it'd be good or bad. On one hand he/she would potentially have a way cool name, but then again, I'd imagine they'd have a tough time with some of the kids at school. Still, it is just a word, my girlfriend's sister is called Yonnica, her mum liked Monica, just replaced the 'M', everyone calls her Yonny and she seems quite happy with a made up name. I thought it sounded quite cool too.

I guess calling you're kid Totoro or Belldandy might be a bit too much for them, but names like Ryu, Tenchi, Sakura are okay, they're normal names in Japan, they still mean something.

You could be really mean and give them a double barrelled anime name like Lupin-Jing, or Urd-Sakura XD

Of course not! I think I owns my future kids a decent name with more history and backgroung to it than just "it was myy favorite character"

Maybe, maybe not. When I find a norse anime/game I'll let you know. There's Valkyrie Profile, but those are taken from the actual religious poems anyway.
I guess I'll just stick to using Medieval: Total War as a random name generator. Hey, worked for my cats.
How's Sorine Eight-fingers sound? :D
(whoops, non-ascii board apparently, damn.) >_<

is it okay if it's from a video game? i wanted to name my kid wrath after the ranger in fire emblem 1
