Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 10 4:55 pm)
Just don't name her Webbie Tookay, like that Steven Stahlberg model. God, what an atrocity that was. I would research Japanese names and find one that meant something that I could identify with (like most English/American names have a basis in Greek, and that word has a meaning). I mean, you wouldn't want to give her a name that means "Your mother is an ape" or "One who consumes fecal matter", y'know? Then again....;-P Newc
How about Michiko Tanaka or Yukio Tanaka?

Kaz is right, she looks more Chinese or Korean (like Sung Hi Lee) than Japanese. As for finding a 'meaningful' name, I suggest contacting someone who has an Asian version of 'The Ultimate Baby Name Book' (if there is an Asian version). You could also name her 'trouble' (in the original Chinese, of course) and give her a tattoo of the Chinese word for trouble, which is two women under one roof.

I'm assuming he meant that that is what Ikyoto means. Seeing that I'm Chinese (sorta...I speak very crappy cantonese) how about Xiu Ling or Xiu Feung? These are the only two names I know off hand only because they're the chinese names that grandpa gave me and my sister =^) Xiu Ling means Little Bell (me) Xiu Feung means Little Phoenix (my sis) Unfortunately, there are a ton of words that sound a like =^/ Tina <--that's the name my parents gave me.
uh oh...this is looking a bit familiar...the last time I offered a name suggestion, my name was used for a texture instead...LOL Seriously though, this was coincidental as I had begun researching my own culture and language for a fan fiction of mine. I'm also trying to encorporate my own (feeble) knowledge of Cantonese to write the words more like how we say it than how interpreters butcher it (or romantize it) Just becareful on the spelling. Xui as you have it is water. Tina PS, tlaublauch, your character looks a bit like one of my aunts. Forgot to mention that earlier. =^)
She definitely looks more Chinese. Most gwai-lo, gaigin, honkey-types can't tell the difference though. Tlaubach, if you live in a metropolitain area take a look in your phone book for some names. It boggles my mind sometimes how much trouble people have with telling the asian races apart. Japanese look as different from Chinese as the Italian do from the Irish (hair color aside). Then again most Asians can't tell a the Norwegians from the French by appearance alone.
