What would you name your half Touhou / half human daughter?
All these names are equally wonderful. Shame that the West wants Mohammad to be the top male baby name, like it's already happening in several European countries already. Stay strong, Japan.

This does beg the question, what name would I give my theoretical hafu son or daughter.
>>14357214

So Ryou's at 8, and Hayato takes 10... but what about Benkei?
For some reason I really like the name Itsuki. If I ever get a Japanese name I want that.
>>14357578
too bad you're going to be a somalian child soldier in the next life.
Well at least it isn't muhamed or chang like in the west
>>14357659
>chang
Canadians are not allowed on my board.
加拿大人不允许我的船上。
Leave hastily.
匆匆离去。
>>14356868
>Arata
I honestly don't think I've seen this name in any media.
>reading an ethnically homogenous name list not polluted with Pablo or Muhammad or Ranjeet
>>14356943
>>14357826
Stop samefagging, and fuck off already.
What babies?
Must be top RPG MCs names
![sub_title_03[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/qeAWoYo.jpg "sub_title_03[1].jpg")
>>14357809
You don't know 古田新太?
>>14356950
>Thinking of a shitty typemoon character when hearing the name
>>14357826
I'm pretty sure Muhammad was the only name you listed that was invading top baby names in many countries.
Nothing wrong with Pablo, and Ranjeet isn't that common I think.
>>14357904
Muhammad pls
>>14357270
So would a proper alternative be " prompts questioning "?
>>14358099
While I didn't know him, I meant more I haven't seen that name in Anime, Manga, VNs,or LNs.
I guess a list of popular boy names right now doesn't necessarily need to be reflected in those mediums.
>>14356871
>Yuina
>結奈
Not how it was written but I suppose it will do.
>>14356868
>>14356871
Coincidentally these were actually the only children born in Japan in 2015
>>14356908
Shinki, after her grandma.
>>14358199
I kek'd.
>>14356868
why not Muhammad
>>14358342
Nowhere as many Muslims have migrated to Japan so the number of Muslim babies born is still very low there.
Ren is a boy's name?
>>14358391
If Stimpy is
>>14356943
You know this is because almost every Muslim male is called some variation of it, right?

>>14356871
Aoi!
>>14356871
So, Anna...
Is this a typical japanese name or a a univerally used one?
Does stand out quite a lot in this list to me.
Just about as bad as your typical DQN name list
>>14358807
Wait, what's wrong with Raichi?
>>14358797
I thought this was just a troll, but holy fuck

All those tied numbers.
>>14357809
Arata Kangatara is a terrible shonen about two boys named Arata switching places.
There's also pic related from a much better series.
These come to mind for me.
>>14358807
>Jedi
If I ever procreate with a Japanese lady, this is what I would name our child.
>>14358812
You don't think there's anything wrong with naming your kid Lychee?
>>14358916
I know people with the names of Undine and Merlin, so might as well go with more adventurous names such as Yoda or Vader as well.
If I had a baby girl, I'd name her Emi. Or Emilia, which is the equivalent over here, but just call her Emi.
Why isn't Sakura written in kanji?
>>14359002
Because the majority of babies born in Japan are born to foreign dads who can't read Kanji.
Japan is suffering population collapse, in a few years these names will be Huang and Park, not Shou and Kaede
>>14359076
China, Taiwan and South Korea, pretty much East Asian's population growth are abysmally appalling as well.
>>14359079
Who cares, international trade and globalization will mean we will all have the same corporate western culture by the time we're all old ojisans and obasans.
It really won't matter then, they could get rid of the country names and just name geographical areas with numbers. Japan really would become district 11.
To clarify, I think this is for the best. When everyone follows the same western culture there will be fewer things to fight over. Even when I travel I see African and Islamic culture being slowly westernized through the introduction of feminism and capitalism without limits.
I'm a culture Otaku so this is otaku culture.
>>14359106
If you're a culture otaku wouldn't you want to maintain all the interesting cultures of the world for posterity? I don't care if other people don't have the pride to maintain theirs, but I'm sure as hell going to maintain mine.
>>14358766
It's probably because of Frozen. Nips loved the shit out of that movie and Anna is a lot more Japanese friendly name than Elsa.
>>14358244
I like the way you think.
>>14359002
Only certain kanji can be used for names irl.
>>14359246
No culture is worth preserving, except for the fun bits. We're already in a post - tribal world. Soon we'll all be in hive worlds.
>>14361639
The Zionists got to you, huh.
>>14361639
>post - tribal world
That began several thousand years ago, the moment the first permanent towns appeared. Just because sedentary civilization exists is no reason to be an unironic cultural Marxist. You may not find them interesting, but many people do, and most people at least have an interest in their own, even if it is only subconscious.
>>14362425
>>14362018
Most cultures really aren't worth preserving, though.
>>14362598
Not all cultures are equal.
>>14362425
Hu hu you act as if you can save your own culture. Absolutely you can hoard artifacts cherry-picked here and there from around you. It's not like that's going to stop anything. If you really wanted to stop the slow dilution of your culture you would have to turn your country into North Korea and cut off all contact with the outside world. That is the only way you could prevent globalization from slowly diluting your culture through the introduction of foreign ideas and media.
As it stands I don't even need to do anything. I can just sit back as the Internet and global trade westernizes the world. Go ahead and try to preserve your culture in fifty years time you'll be one of those sad old men who hoards old magazines and can only talk about things were so good back in the day. Meanwhile I'll be over here fucking my lolibot harem
>>14362620
Your culture isn't worth protecting from outside influence and dilution
>>14362635
It should not be intentionally destroyed.
>>14362668
Too bad 4 u then
A stagnant culture is a dead culture.
However having said that you don't just replace the core values of said culture with another.
>>14356871
>KANJI さくら
Not nearly DQN enough. Step it up, Japan.
Might as well post this for laughs.
>>14362913
That's a natural process as people respond to changing conditions and desires. Can't be stopped or "done" deliberately.
Cultures die and get assimilated, get over it.
I would name my daughter Mayonnaise and just call her May. Imagine her face when I hand her social security card over to her for the first time.

Christ!
It's like these people had children just so they could give them these bizarre names.
>Sakura Kyouko
And it's the exact Kanji too.
>>14363439
>Sakura Kyouko
Please explain the joke to me.
>>14363484
I think it's the name of a magical girl in a certain anime.
>>14363492
Huh. That doesn't make the name retarded, just embarrassing f the child ever knows the origin of their name. Like certain retards I know that named their kid Lilith because they liked EVA.
It would be retarded if they used a made up name like Remilia.
>>14363187
I can't even fathom what the fuck the thought process is behind 14
>>14363187
>Sakuranbo
>Miririn
>Haato
Jesus Christ, do parents not respect their children at all? They're people, not pets.
>Hoshino'oujisama
What the hell is this supposed to be?
>>14363893
Sakuranbo is a real name, it's just the characters used for it that are totally fucked.
I feel like Heart might seem less retarded to the Japanese given that kokoro is a perfectly normal name, but it's still fucking stupid.
>>14358807

>>14363893
Woah are you talking shit about はあと

That poor child.
>>14364297
Does Japan not have laws that are supposed to prevent shit like this?
>>14364297
The Kanji is "tiger", as well.
>>14364303
They have laws for using dumb kanji but since you can pronounce kanji as whatever you want, they probably don't have any pronunciation guidelines.
>>14363187
>心
>はあと
That's actually kind of cool.
>>14362998

That's great. I'm happy other people are as upset as me about the English language getting raped
>>14364381
If you're in 8th grade.
>>14364411
Fun police please go.
>>14364395
>not using "beg the question" to refer to a logical fallacy is "raping the English language"
Do you write detailed rants about how to pronounce "gif" too?
>>14364433
It's pronounced "gif" because "graphics" starts with a "g".
>>14364473
It's pronounced both "jif" and "gif" because people pronounce it like both.
>>14364433
jiff, like the peanut butter.
I had this conversation almost 20 years ago
>>14364498
Those people are wrong.
No-one says jrafics.
>>14364542
And? What does that have to do with anything? Quit making up imaginary rules for pronunciation. If people pronounce "gif", "jig", then "jif" is a valid pronunciation.
>>14364560
*"gif", "jif", then "jif"
So much for this thread.
>>14358391
It depends on the Kanji used.
