Characters With Anime Names

[Dgsoil]

Au ra naming conventions are pretty much Japanese names so...

Raen names are based on Japanese, Xaela are based on Mongolian.

I've probably come across many, but not bothered to take note. As far as copying names from pre-existing media, I don't for my mains or any character I play seriously, but I may either do it on alts to see if I can cosplay them as such, or just mess around with character creator. I managed to make Rose Quartz from Steven Universe, and Milia Fallyna from Macross (which worked better on GW2) on the character creator, and I have an alt named Id from Xenogears for shits and giggles. With Id, I want to see if I can dress up appropriately, and on a related note, I have seen an Elhaym Van'houten running around.

I always get annoyed by anyone that names their character after popular media of any kind. Come up with your own names!

Nope, but my first name Sango always gets 'Inuyasha?' remarks. I actually got it from the African god of thunder, but I guess that's a lil more obscure than Inuyasha lol.

I've got no problem with anime names, but I prefer it when people are being clever or funny with those names and actually bother to spell them correctly (unless that conflicts with being clever/funny). My character's name is technically also an anime/videogame name ("Yadon" is the Japanese name for Slowpoke, the Pokemon, from which I take my nickname), but it adheres to in-universe naming conventions for female Dunesfolk.

Names like XxCloudsbuttplugxX, BiSepiroth, or TgirlTifa are common on Balmung.

I once had a DF where each one (except me) was named "Sasuke Uchiha" but each had different spelling variation on the name and were in different servers, so it was random/not planned with friends

Mine's a very obscure reference to another game series (to the point where it could qualify as a spoiler, but it'd also require knowing about localization differences too).

Although I also brought it over from a different MMO, and my reasons for naming my character exactly the same in FF14 is because I happen to be an official volunteer staff member for that other MMO, and it'd be very nasty if someone tried to fool my friends in this game that also came over from that MMO by impersonating me on this side. The original reason for naming him as such over in that game was that he was meant to be a cosplay character, even using the class with mechanics that best fit the combat style in the original game series.

I slapped a Sasuke Uchiha once.
