What's your Japanese name?

Tell me what your Japanese name is and its meaning, also let me know if you ever wanted a certain Japanese name. My Japanese name is Matsuo Yoshitoki. I've always wanted the name Toushiro or Kaito.

Your name doesn't change when you change languages.

 

What some people in this topic are thinking of is the pronunciation by people who speak Japanese as their main and native languages so they have a difficult time pronouncing things exactly how they are meant to be pronounced due to the little phonic sounds that aren't common in one language.

 

@@otaku4242 got it right. When translating your name into a non-alphabetic language like Japanese or Russian the name is sounded out but otherwise you just spell your name exactly how you would if you were saying your name in Spanish.

Kyoshi. It means 'Lonely child'. That's about it. That is not using a translator, it is just the name that I think matches my personality incredibly well. It is accurate. It's like a name with a sniper scope attached.

Well, my name in Japanese is pronounced Ashubi, but the name from the name generator thing is Mitsuko Oimikado.

 

I don't know exactly how the name generator works though. :lol:

My name in Japanese would be:

 

serafusutā — セラフスター :P

 

My first name would be:

 

raien — ライエン

 

And my online monikers (among others, these would be my gaming nicknames) are:

 

Tarama no Miyuki — 多良間の美雪 (Miyuki of Tarama; because I'm ¼ Taraman); and

 

Tenba Miyuki — 天馬 美雪

English meaning: Beautiful Snow Pegasus (Japanese last/family names come first) :)

(And my online nickname (miyuki) does have real life origin).

My Japanese name is the same as my English name. Because that's what it is. It means nothing because it's not Japanese.

 

Having written my first official manga short (in Japanese) I have a Japanese pen name based upon my name, 三島智恵留. I chose it based on phonetics, not meaning. However, if you really want to know, the last name, Mishima, means three islands. I partially went with this name with homage to author Yukio Mishima. The first name, Chieru (not a real Japanese name, by the by) the characters are wisdom, favor, stop. Again, chosen based on phonetics.

 

As @Discordian stated, your name doesn't change with the language. Your name is typically always your name. The only language I can think of (and there may be others, but none that come to mind) where you would get a new name is Chinese. Names have a very specific format in Chinese: 1 character last name, two character first name. If you have a ton of characters in your name to spell it out phonetically, it's really strange, as Chinese's writing is symbolic and not phonetic. As such, you get a name which fits this format. There may be other languages where something similar is done, but generally, you keep your own name in other countries. So, no, I don't have a Japanese name.
