日本の名前の助言のトレッド (Japanese Name Advice Thread)

[bury the year]

Before I start, if that title's not entirely accurate, PM me.

 

Now, I'm here to assist you with Japanese names to give you a new level of authenticity in your fics. Honestly, from what I've seen so far on this forum, people seem to have run words through a translator and use that without even taking a second look at what they're actually using. These names/terms can seem pretty n00b/otaku-ish, especially if you haven't done any research on the language before. Now, I'll admit, I'm no master at Japanese; I've been teaching myself for almost a year now, and I'm still nowhere near good. However, I do pride myself on my knowledge of name creation, so I can help there.

 

Therefore, if you'd like a suggestion for Japanese names, just fill the following out, and post it. I'll then give a list of suggestions, and you can give feedback until we agree on something. FYI, I do first and last names, too.

 

[b]Current Character Name:[/b] (Leave blank if there isn't one.)
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Personality of Character:[/b] (3 sentences at most.)
[b]Appearance of Character:[/b] (3 sentences at most.)
[b]Preferred Starting Letters:[/b] (The letters can be used are anything but c, l, p, q, v, w, and x. "ch" and "ts" count as letters, so you can use them. Some letters have a more possible chance than others. List separately for first and last names, if this applies.)
[b]Preferred Meaning:[/b] (Important. Just a list of words, 5 at most.)
[b]First, Last, or Both:[/b] (This is just whether you want first or last names, or both.)
