Have you ever wondered how some character names are thought of?

[Kelebek1]

Well wen u get some name in japanese and they attempt to make it sound cool and exotic either makin long aas names or try to use English and it completely backfires and u wonder y the hell did they use such a dumb name

but still u also got the superbly long jap names dat r meant to enhance how cool they sond but come out as tongue tsisters and have a more negative effect

 

 

This long enough to be cool?

[Undying]

Doesn't names in japanese usually have some kind of meaning behind? I wonder if they just pick a cool name or put somekind of meaning to reflect the character personality.

 

 

In american comics they usually pick names that are easy to remember and sound in a certain way, like Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Louis Lane, Peter Parker and others , I wonder if they use this kind of idea in anime, manga and VN.

Double post on purpose again and you'll see one of my interests.

 

Take this as a friendly warning

 

Anime, Gaming, VNs, Manga and Movies?

I think the only name I've though much about was Kudryavka, nobody would name their daughter that - it's a dog's name through and through. Of course, there's significance in it in that it's one of the names given to the first dog in space, and it makes it really easy to find Kud-related things, but that doesn't change the fact that nobody in their right mind would name their daughter that.

Dude you are mistaken, I know a guy called Patrocinio (in English this mean Sponsor).

Well names can come from anything. I mean I know someone named Echo. Chances are people name things for the sake of naming things.

[Darklord Rooke]

Something like wen they try english and fail or names that sound exotic and backfire. i cant think of 1 off the top of my head at 23:46 in straya but u get the idea?

 

Like "Black Dragon Richard Mason Harold De Dion Plimm Stuart Kazuaki the third"?

good point where did u c it?

[RichardDRichards]

The worst name is Full Frontal from Unicorn Gundam. It sounds stupid and why name him after his fighting style.

[crunchytaco]

Emiya Shirou.

 

What relevance does Shirou's name have? In Japanese Shirou means 4th son. But Saber always mispronounces and calls him Shiro, meaning white.
