I have a disturbing number of siblings with names from anime (this number is nonzero). For the youngest two I just stick with their cute nicknames.

It's not COMMON, but nothing people would raise their eyebrows at.

I've known a couple people named Pua. It's not an uncommon name elsewhere in the world but Poo-Ah sounds like a refreshing fecal treat.

sweeperbravo posted:Siblings? Like they're your siblings? How did you manage to avoid getting an anime name yourself? Yes, my siblings. My youngest sister's named Utena (yes, the anime one), my 2000-born brother has a broth of middle names from Tenchi characters, my youngest brother has a middle name from a fightan game character, one of them has an improperly-feminized "Theodore/Fyodor" (after Fyodor Yemelianenko, the ukrainian-born fighter). My brother and I got some fairly normal names because we showed up before video games entered the household, so he's a Johnny and I'm a, hahaha, person with a normal name. Also the second sister has a normal name too, despite being in the middle of the anime storm. (I have 7 siblings)

My younger brothers both have totally normal names, I think my folks were either more hippy-ish when I was born or they thought they'd have more leeway with a girl.
