I'm just a loser NEET who will never father any children but I think it's bad for the kids in school. Otherwise it's nice for a change. Some always pick up if they get famous.

A lot of these are hilarious if you don't find them outright sad, though. Who the hell names his child Pandora in Japan of all countries?

If you want to give a kid an unusual name, go ahead. If they hate their odd name and want to change it, then respect that. Hell, my real name is Rian, they either get my sex wrong, or the pronunciation wrong.

Really though, Japanese parents have so much more options for naming their kids whacky stupid silly names because due to the disconnection of kanji and pronunciation they can make jokes on lots of levels.

>>10533650
You can for names. I mean, Hell, Light in Death Note has his name written as 月, and as posted earlier, Battler's name is most certainly not pronounced how you would expect 戦人 to be pronounced. He even points this out at the very start of the VN. Then you get 一人 in Ghost in the Shell, his name is pronounced Kazundo, not Hitori. Aramaki actually mispronounces his name in the first meeting.

It's notable enough in fiction, and as the picture proves it's also possible in real life.

What do you mean? Japanese names are very often nature-related.

>> No.10536485

>>10536464

It's just a history thing. Western culture is deep rooted in religion, so most of our common names are of religious descent; most of the names of the disciples are taken from Hebrew words meaning 'God is great' and shit.

In Japan their history is slightly more nature-oriented so naturally the names come after natural things mainly. Most east asian countries are the same.
