I would name my daughter, Shinki or Luize, If I had kids. Luize might actually be a better name than Shinki but, I'unno. S'not like I'm having any kids soon anyway :V

I'd actually like to name my daughter Remilia if I ever have kids. It's the sort of name which is original but doesn't stick out too much.

Parsee's not a bad sounding name either. It just sounds kind of masculine like Chauncey or Kirby.

Makes me think of Percy, which makes me think of trains.

Teacher: "Introduce yourself to the class."
Son: "I am The Phantom of the Grand Guignol."

That would be one hell of a reference if you could slip it into a drama production or something. I don't know why I didn't notice this earlier, but some assistant prof's of mine name's Chen. Which is weird considering he's not even Asian. I really like the name Maribel, wouldn't stick out as well.

If I could name my child after a Touhou, I guess the best choice would be Maribel, cuz' like many others have said, it's a really good name. Marisa and Alice sound normal too...

Or I can always name my daughter Cirno... Or Wriggle... Or UN Owen... Or Tomboyish Beloved Girl...

This is, of course, assuming I ever have one... :foreveralone.jpg:
Meiling is ma' neighbour... though it's a pretty common Chinese name...

Would you or have you ever name(d) a child after a Touhou character? If so, who and why?

If not , why not?

No, because it is creepy and 2nd: depending on your culture/country, naming your kid a foreign name is imo weird. People who don't consider the possible consequences are egoistic and clueless. Life isn't a game. (is it?)

iK · « **Reply #37 on:** November 30, 2011, 12:24:21 AM »

I think nearly everyone is self-conscious about their name, regardless of if it's too common or too out there.

I don't like my name because Winston sounds like a butler's name to me.

And besides, there are far worse names you could give your child.

Like "Guy." Or "Chrysanthemum."

That being said I think we can all agree not to name our child "Five magic stones."

God is currently playing life~! :derp:

I wonder if Sakuya or Patchouli would be a nice or NORMAL names for a child....?

zephyredx · « **Reply #40 on:** November 30, 2011, 06:14:43 AM »

I am personally inclined to say yes because:
1) My own name is very unique, and I think it has ultimately affected me extremely positively, despite how much I was made fun of as a child
2) A lot of Touhou names wouldn't sound too strange next to the last name "Yang."

Sality · « **Reply #41 on:** December 01, 2011, 04:56:39 AM »

It would be weird for Japanese's names to be used here.

People here aren't that accepting, one with weird name usually get mocked by his/her friends. Well, joke is a joke, but only if it's funny.

N-Forza · « **Reply #42 on:** December 01, 2011, 05:28:19 AM »

I don't know, I'd say at least Aya is pretty cross-cultural at this point. It's a reasonably normal name in a number of places.

Although if I were to name a daughter after a Touhou or other video game character, I would probably use the middle name for that unless it was a REALLY unassuming name and/or the wife liked it too.

Marokuu · « **Reply #43 on:** December 02, 2011, 09:38:21 PM »

Alice is pretty much the only name from touhou that is "normal" over here, but then there's such an ethnic diversity where I live that I personally don't really get surprised by names anymore.

I guess there would still be the kid's earlier life to consider but then again.

If I were to name my daughter after a Touhou character (if I ever had kids in the first place ;~;) I would name her Remilia or Maribel, or maybe even Yukari.
Japanese names are very rare where I live, but I know that people in my area would think Yukari as a pretty name, & won't find it weird.
Remillia or Maribel would seem more...'normal.' (not as 'normal' as Marisa or Alice would be though)
Besides, I find all three names quite pretty.

Zap · « **Reply #45 on:** December 05, 2011, 09:47:46 PM »

I would probably, only if the name isn't Japanese sounding. (not from there after all)

Possible choices: Marisa, Ellen, Elly, Sara, Luize, Alice, Letty?(not to sure), and Maibel.

Seems a good amount of PC98 characters seem to work. Out of those I think maybe Alice or Sara if it was a girl.

N-Forza · « **Reply #46 on:** December 05, 2011, 10:34:39 PM »

It's not Luize, it's Louise. Which is a fairly unassuming name.

Zap · « **Reply #47 on:** December 05, 2011, 11:06:04 PM »

Oops... My bad. :colonveeplusalpha:
Hmm, if the spellings like that, maybe I would choose that over Sara.

iK · « **Reply #48 on:** December 05, 2011, 11:07:41 PM »

Sunny isn't a bad name either. I think it would suck way worse for an adult than for a kid actually.

Hina too. It sounds more Nordic than Japanese anyway.

Savory · « **Reply #49 on:** December 06, 2011, 12:34:07 AM »

I never really considered this, but...I'm tempted to.
