Characters With Anime Names

[Seisha]

Hoooonestly I hate that, but I'm not crazy enough to not talk to people who have pop culture names or expect them to change it. As long as pop culture exists so will people stealing the names.

On topic I know a few people. I'm friends with Ristu Namine (utauloid) and a few others.

I'm of a similar mind to the above^

Although as an RP'er if you don't have a lore appropriate name that's an immediate demerit in my opinion.

Having said that, pop culture (and anime) names are better than most "funny" names. *see other thread about funny names

Same (YES I know the irony).. I spent like an hour staring at the character creation screen trying to come up with a name.. couldn't think of anything lore appropriate then (there's an """excuse""" now)

If videogame character names also count towards this topic, then I'm guilty of this too. When I first started to make my female Miqo'te character, who I didn't think would end up being my main, I sat there thinking about how I should name her... for quite some time. Since I had a friend who had just purchased the game himself and we were both joining the world of FFXIV for the first time that day, I didn't want to spend forever on the naming process and just picked two cat girl names from two videogames series I've played.

I have no regrets about it. The name "Felicia Meracle" has a nice ring to it for a female Miqo'te after thinking about it IMO. That, and I don't want to spend money on a name change. The "Bye Felicia!" jokes some people love to throw at my face has made me consider it from time to time though.
