CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

This idea just came to me a little bit ago. What is your favorite name of an anime character in all of anime? They don't necessairly have to be your favorite character (they might even be a character you hate), but there is something about their name that is so ... cool... that you love.

Favorite name of all time:
Kougaiji (Saiyuki)

Runners up:
Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
Integra Hellsing (Hellsing)
Sesshomaru (Inu Yasha)
Sieghart (Groove Adventure Rave)
Hotohori (Fushigi Yugi)
Hatake Kakashi (Naruto)

That's all I can think of for now. What are yours?

I like unusual names. Read most of my stories... yeah, I love giving people weird names, and I like weird names.



Hmmm, for favorites, possibly Rakka from Haibane Renmei. I just think that "Rakka" is a cool name, espeically with the way Ls and Rs are the same letter in Japanese, so her name is supposed to almost sound like "La-ka" but not quite... it has more of the R sound. It's just a neat sounding name. I like saying it... "Rrrrrakka!"

Washi of Haibane Renmei has a cool name, too, I think. Washi! It's cool on it's own, and what's cooler is if what I read somewhere is right... I think "Washi" is supposed to mean "communicator" in Japanese or something (or maybe just in the HR world?), and he is the Haibane Renmei communicator... so.., "Washi is the 'washi'-communicator". Heheh.


Of course Vash the Stampede... such an odd name, and rather cool. It's like "Ash", but with a V, and no one can figure out quite where it comes from. (I've read that it might be a play on the French word for "cow").

Rem, in Trigun, is cool, too. I like anything that connects to dreams, and her name is a big pun on the state of dreaming. I also think it's pretty, especially when I consider what it might be short for... I mean, a name like "Rem" could be short for "Remebrance", which is a pretty word, or from "Rembrandt", which is a man's name, and the name of one of my favorite artists in all of art history. ]

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha have cool names, too.

Hmmmm toughie . . . .

Hikaru (either Magic Knights Rayearth or Angelic Layer)
Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Aoshi, Kaoru, Sannosuke, Yahiko sounds funny (Rurouni Kenshin)
Aeris (FF7)
Mia (Lunar 1)
Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi)
Ichigo, Zakuro (Tokyo Mew Mew)
Vash, Millie (Trigun)
Belldandy, Peorth (Ah My Goddess)
Lita, Mina, Setsuna, Hotaru (Sailor Moon)
Van, Llena, Fiona (Zoids)

. . . can't think of any more right now.

...... AHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T CHOOSE!!! I LOVE ALL JAPANESE NAMES!!

I can't decide either, they're almost all unique in their own way.

Char. Enough said.

I love this name too(and also the character)

My favorites:
Sanosuke Segara, Senkukku(sp?) (Rurouni Kenshin)
Nosferatu Zodd (Berserk)
Garrack, Orson (Record of Lodoss War)
Majin Buu, Yamcha (Dragonball Z)
Domon Kashu, Chibidi Crockett (G Gundam)

Btw, what is the name of the Heavyarms Gundam pilot from Gundam Wing?

Edit: I checked the spelling, it is Senkaku. So there.

Eyes Rutherford [Spiral] << best of all
Arcueid Brunestud [Tsukihime]
Katsuya Jounouchi [YGO]
Jagara and Darcia [Wolf's Rain]
Kamui Shiro [X]
Cagalli Yula Athha, Athrun Zala, Mwu La Fllaga, Raww Le Klueze and Miguel Ayman. [Gundam SEED]

Worst: Ssigh Argyle

Vivi (FFIX) is just an adorable name.
And there's Garland, from FFIX (and others I think)...a funny name, in my opinion, for a villain.

I also am fond of the name Hideki, but I don't know if there was ever an anime character by that name. And then of course there's Tsukasa...it's so fun to say that the way it's intended to be said. Like ska-sa. *says it over and over*

Answered my own question: the Heavyarms pilot is Trowa Barton (that is not one of my favorite names, btw)

Well their are so many different names that are unique and have cool meanings that I can't choose; however, I'll have to say that it would have to be Heero Yuy. Since I love Hee-chan so much I decided to put his name. ^^
I also added a pic of Hee-chan here too! Wohoo!
*runs away*

hehe

Michiru of course ^^

I also like

Yukishiro Tomoe
Arashi
Makubex
Quatre
Miriya

Despite the fact that it's not his real name, Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigilla Blue Stradavari Talentrent Pierre Andre Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III. (I love Vash; he said that all with a straight face too. ^__^)

And something must be said for Edward Wong Hau Pepeplu Tivrusky IV as well, I suppose.

Hmm..

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
Ryoga (Ranma ½)
Belldandy (Oh my goddess)
Rosiel (Angel sanctuary)

And so on... I haven't watched too much anime ^^'

Probably Lafiel and Vash. Both have long intricate names but go by short and unique ones.

He is the male lead in Chobits. I'm sure there are others, but that is the first one I thought of.
