ArchivesDo Japanese people use manga/anime names in real life?
Hi !!!
I was thinking about Japanese names and their usage.
I mean names that have a real meaning (not the ones written in katakana) like Nana, Naruto, Natsu, Shinichi, Shiro, Satoshi, Sana, Usagi...or also Miyazaki characters like Chihiro, Haku, Ashitaka, Kiki, Satsuki... Or whatever name among thousand manga/anime character of every genre.
The anime/manga/film destroy their usage or they become more popular also if the name was previously rare?
My reasoning is that in Japan every name has a meaning not like our fictional names that are only variant spelling or madeup ones so I'd like to know how they are perceived.
We often use names from books or films also the more literarian ones so I'd like to know if characters are seen in a positive way there too.
