[Arima]

Supposedly that is a male version of Sakura, but I removed it, since "she" doesn't really look like a male.

 

[xxsasukex]

A friend of mine wants to name his kid Itachi

 

[King of Camelot]

Interesting.

 

[~Ethereal~]

Interesting.

Never mind, I misread. My bad.

 

[Mahesvara]

I'm just glad all the names are pretty sensible and not outrageous, like choosing the name Goku or Naruto.

 

[Lrrrrr]

Tellin' me Manzo the Saw isn't in the list? it's fake.

 

[NineSNS]

Pop culture baby names. Poor kids.

 

[Yurei]

Pop culture baby names. Poor kids.

Aw, c'mon. Asuna sounds pretty nice.

 

[NineSNS]

Aw, c'mon. Asuna sounds pretty nice.

It does sound nice. And hopefully the kids will be ok with who they are named after. XD

 

[Yurei]

It does sound nice. And hopefully the kids will be ok with who they are named after. XD

Daughter: "Dad, why did you name me Asuna?"
Father: "There's this anime... you need to watch it."

 

[Gintõki1]

As long as they don't name them Obito or so, everythings fine. lol

 

[Rokudaime Hokage Naruto]

Would have liked to see Salad or Bolt in there. They're both great names.

 

[ArabianLuffy]

There are about 20 characters from 20 different mangas and animes called Asuna. The name itself wouldn't ring like Naruto, Goku, Luffy.
