What name would you prefer for the HiveWire Female Anime Figure?

[Miss B]

Ohh nooo! No Mitsuki ?!? I am soo sooo sad

As is Tsuki!

No Satira, Chris said no Mitsuko. That's a different choice in the poll.

Perfect example of why I didn't vote for any of the M names. Too much confusion. Just like with DAZ's Genesis II vs. Poser's Generation 2, both being called G2.

 

[Miss B]

Yes the Gen3/Genesis 3 issue drives me crazy as well, which is why I usually try to remember to write the words out so no one gets confused.

I would go Mitsuki, on a side note a reason to avoid Sora is it's a male character in the kingdom hearts games (the bonus of being a geek) but that would be great if a male anime character is made

Mitsuki is winning so far. So yes there is that name available and there is a button allowing you to change your vote if you so wish!

 

[Desertsilver]

I like Sora because it is beautiful and unique. And I think she needs an anime kitten names Tsuki!

 

[Jay Versluis]

How about Ayane? It means "colourful sound".

I think "Asahi" is widely used as a company name all over Japan. It's the name of an important Japanese newspaper, and also the name of a major beer manufacturer, and so on. I have never seen it used as a person's name. "Asa" actually means morning. "Akatsuki" would be "dawn", but that's a male name. Here again, I have never met anyone called "Asa". Names meant for girls are typically ending with "ko" (little) or "mi" (beauty).

Sora is a common name used for both boys and girls, but mostly girls. It became more popular after a certain game character who bears that name.

Now full moon is actually "mangetsu" (満月). But since the Japanese writing system was imported from China, there are always at least 3 different ways to pronounce everything. So it can also be written "望月", which is pronounced "mochidzuki". I have never heard of "Mitsuki" referring to full moon, but I can tell that's a common name in Japan, though everyone I know with that name is male.

Thanks for that Ken1171, I had originally chose Asahi - but after reading what you wrote I changed it to Sora. I had almost picked Sora to begin with though.

 

[SF-Design]

I picked
Katsumi

The main character of manga/anime "Full Moon wo sagashite" is a girl called Mistuki and it's supposed to mean "full moon", so there's at least her

I agree about "Asa" though, Asako or Asami would work better. And Asahi is indeed a beer brand

 

[Ken1171]

I was more referring to real people, since even Rumiko Takahashi has named the protagonist of Inu Yasha "Kagome", which makes everyone giggle because that's the name of the most famous steak sauce brand in Japan, and that's really funny. In the same way, I have met girls called Johnny and also Tony, but we know those are usually meant for boys. It's possible but definitely odd.

I've known girls name Tony and even went to school with a girl named Johnny, but their names were spelled differently. Same thing for that matter with Jean and Gene.

Some parents have an odd sense of humor. ;p

 

[Miss B]

Also, famous old time actor John Wayne's real name is Marion, though ladies spell it Marian.

 

[Ken1171]

We have to be careful not to do that with Dawnime. ^^

 

[Miss B]

Hmmmm, considering the choices available, I don't think we'll have that problem.

 

[Rokket]

I almost went with Sora, too but chose Asahi, I tried to choose both but I could only pick one.
Asahi, to me sounds like a warrior chick, breaking necks with her hands.
Sora, to me sounds like the name of a hot chick that knows she is hot, breaking necks with her looks.

Asahi is one of Japan's beers. I drink too much of it while I am there...

 

[Rokket]

Masami. It means "become beautiful".

 

[Ken1171]

Dusk and Dawn all happen in the sky, so if I have to choose from the list, I will go with Sora. I think it goes well with the HW figures name theme.
