How did you manage to avoid getting an anime name yourself? Panic! at Nabisco posted:Maile is actually a pretty normal name in Hawaii; it's a plant used to make leis. 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.

I was at a cafe yesterday and there was a very white, suburban lady yelling at her kid who was apparently named 'Aurelio'.

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)

Phlegmish posted:Your parents are terrible for naming your siblings after anime characters. I'm named after a loving Prince Valiant character, and my parents are alright. Granted, my dad didn't tell my mom where it came from til after the birth certificate was signed, and it's an actual, though rare, name, but still.

ibntumart posted:Aleta? (Really hoping it's not Horrit.) Yup. My mom nixed Galadriel, so dad had to get sneaky and actually find it in a baby name book before suggesting it. 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.
