Discussion Naming Your Child with Novel Character's Name?

I just see a thread in MAL forum about people naming their child based on anime... like obito, sasuke, shiro, ryuuko, goku, etc... and he/she isn't a japanese/asian person

and i thought that maybe there are also people here who want to do the same, naming their child with novel character... like Linley, Leylin, Roland, Satou, Rudeus, Ark, Weed, etc (considering you could find husband/wife and he/she would agree to it)

so, what's ur opinion about this matter?

 

Why not?

At least better than being named Naruto.

 

Don't talk about my son, Pikachu, ever again. He's awesome, just like his brother Batman

 

Miyazaki was right

 

Weed~

 

my friend named his kid kai as in kai from dragonball z lol

also Roland is a western name while not all that common its not like people arent named that its old high german for fame of the land or famous land

 

I think people would get the wrong idea about naming a child "weed"
especially those who have no contact with the novel world, which is about those who don't like reading, which is a large percentage of the world.

 

...there's people who do that for real?!? Well, I'm sure as hell naming my first born boy Victor. (=´∀｀)

Read as: naming my next cat Victor.

 

I don't see why not, this world has retarded people naming their children after cardinal directions, foods and weather patterns after all :v

 

I know someone named "Novel"

 

Linley isn't that bad but yun che, su luo, Lin Ming, Xiao Ye, etc, is terrible to name your kid. Just imagine them being beaten up at school for being the white Asian (that isnt asian at all) kid.

 

i kinda want to name a kid maximillion pegasus from yugioh... not my kid but a kid i can just imagine the pummeling that kid gets on the playground

 

MC names in novels doesnt fit for a child's name. But if it is an (elf)Elven name and your british it will be perfect. Im Asian but my surname is spanish cant help it. Ill name it from famous spanish explorers or Pirates. HAHAHA

 

If I'm to be honest, I'd probably give my son the middle name Matthias... but I draw the line at Mattimeo!

 

I'll name my son as Ainz Ooal Gown

 

I think Linley and Leylin arent bad names at all but a name like obito or naruto seems a bit much.

 

NO, Just no...
unless you're a top celebrity , yeah! just fuc*ing name your son or daughter with fancy name

Example:

Nicolas cage just named his son Kal-El


Sylvester Stallone named his son Sage Moonblood

Disclaimer: i google this coz it sound funny

 

If my son Goku meets his girlfriend ChiChi... would that be a fated match?

 

I don't think there's an issue in naming your child after a novel character, if the series means enough to you, your partner agrees, the name doesn't have negative connotations in the real world and that it matches the family lineage & country of residence.

I personally try to use only real names for my character with the exception of 1 whom I took a real name, then appended it with an extension of half-real, half-fictional meaning.

I have a heritage that is strongly canadian+german and british, so I also have the freedom of irish, welsh, scottish or english (olde and modern) names on top of french, canadian and german names. Now my aesthetics are highly bias towards asian women and so potentially a child of mine could have justification for once of those oriental heritages and names.

thats assuming I ignore the single fact I will never have children XD

I simply draw the line at people calling their children after characters like anakin, jar jar binks, r2d2, c3po, batman etc etc

 

No, but if it fits my child's name then yes but no.
