- Kirakira is a Japanese onomatopoeia that means sparkling, and it's a word used to describe terrible (or flashy) baby names. With the ever growing popularity of anime, you can probably guess how bad things can get. So if you thought bad Japanese baby names were only a Western thing, YOU WERE WRONG. Here are some of Japan's worst baby names.

I can't stop laughing at the thought of having a 40 year old boss named pikachu.
xD
51xpa Boss: Get to work
Sakura: What's your name again?
Boss: Pikachu, now get to work
Sakura: Pikachu-san, what if I don't do my work? Will you use your lightning bolt attack?
Boss: Sakura-san
Sakura: Yes Pikachu-san?
Boss: Get. To. Work.
Sakura: Bu-
Boss: *Groans*
Sakura: Oh, all right
Omg 😂😂😂😂
Imagine the promotion board: pikachu I choose you!
Yeah, we know that slang thanks to American tv
Rachel: "Hey little Marijuana! Come eat your vegetables!"
Jun: "You seem pretty HIGH today!"
😂😂😂 Bless your soul.
I mean, those greens are good for you, right?
I hope they both smoke.
Kumori Uta u filipino?
大麻さん、ごめんなさい 🤣
A lot of females are named marijuana across the world, really. The name Marì Juana is simply Mary Jane in Spanish.
Meanwhile, there is now one person with the name “X Æ A-12” in the US. Fun
*cough cough* elon musk
Weren't they not allowed to name it that?
Oh wow
*cough cough*
Go won?
Wife: we cannot name the baby pikachu san!
Husband: fine what's your name for him.
Wife: A

me: my name is pikachu
LOL
I'm dying
Lmaoooooo
how many times will that guy be told "pikachu use thunderbolt!" ?
DID ANYONE CALL ME
When you register your child here in germany, they can deny your choice of name, if it might cause harm to your child later.
*The chat filter seems to be working*
Finland too
Meow Girl I think you can't name your child anything offensive in america. like no "shithead" or "dumbass."
@@chromberries7329 Or Robocop. That's also illegal.
Or ''spatule" it's french go look the meening of this poor boy's name
Someone has a crush on marijuana:
Girl: M-Marijuana-kun, I-I...
Omg I cant-
Girl: I-I’m ADDICTED to you...
Marijuana senpai, notice me pls :(
if it was in english they could go by Mary Jane
M-Marijuana-senpai, I-I feel like I can't l-live without you! Please accept my feelings M-Marijuana-senpai!!! ( ◜‿◝ )♡
“hi what’s your name?”
“Pikachu”
*pikachu surprised face*
Pikachu surprise face is no where NEAR as funny as the face Togamon is always making. Don't wanna sound rude, but Pokemon sUcKs.
'oh look! i've trapped an animal inside a ball! I'll make it fight off Pokemon-version Ken Ichijouji for me!!'
@@rosegrayvold5920 you know nothing about Pokemon. I bet you're not even born yet when the first generation of Pokemon was released.
@@rosegrayvold5920 I loved how you said "I dOn'T wAnNa SoUnD rUdE"
then say pokemon sucks. Dude. You literally said that in a really mean
way and you made fun of it. Plus that is your opinion. You've offended many
,Including me. (And also Meining Potatocat was talking about the name "pikachu"
so using the Togamon face wouldn't really make sense.) Digimon and Pokemon are
both great franchises.
@@elizabethnhunglam5126 I'm sorry.
;)
@@elizabethnhunglam5126 tho I don't like digimon but pokemon......
Is da BEST
Teacher: Pikachu, I choose you!
Pikachu: I get it, you want me to answer a question, do you really have to say it like that EVERYTIME!
Pikachu : *triggered*
Lucas's camera girlfriend *pickachu*
@@karen3824 oops my bad I didn't realise it
Lucas's camera girlfriend nah I was only joking and Pickachu is funnier 😂
@@karen3824 😅
so then pikachu can change his name to raichu.
df1333 Raichu actually sounds like a cool name
Oh I died! XD hahahaha
df1333 "my child just evolved! " interesting...
"raichu ライチュウ らいちゅう 萊鄒" English language hard (´・ω・｀)
df1333 lol
"you can't name a child a single letter"
then how does L from death note exist?
Because L is a fictional character
blxck pxrxde. well his mother didn‘t name him L 😆
Lawliet.
L its just nickname 😅

Me: *is worried I might have given some of my Japanese ocs kirakira names*
Jun: And it’s read as Pikachu.
Suddenly I feel a lot less worried.
"Hey little Maurijuana! Come eat your vegetables!"
*You seem pretty high today*
Intensify.
I DON'T WANT VEGETABLES MOM I WANT TO VEGETATE.... AND PLAY GRAND THEFT AUTO
Mary Jane. That’s all Marijuana means, the plant was named after the name.
Code Name Ya. My friend once said he was going to name his future daughter Mary Jane since his last name translates to English as "drinker". So, Mary Jane Drinker. Poor kid :'D
That kid is pretty dope

Here in Romania, I met a girl called Poliția, which literally means Police, imagine if she ever gets arrested and the police asks her name.
I am from there and omg i lought soo hard at like 2 am in the morning (night)
Salutare 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Yay nu ma asteptam sa vad romanii aici!
ROMÂNIA!!!
Omg romania

I was waiting for that
*Kōse:* _T e t s u_
I just remembered that here in France, I know a girl (who's my little sister's best friend) named "Canelle" (Cinnamon). When I heard people talking about her for the first time, I though they were talking about a pet dog. 💀
Also apparently, my former best friend knew a girl named "Tartine" (Toast)...
Dafuk s’appeler canelle ça passe mais tartine c’est chaud xD
I feel like Canelle is a pretty name for anyone not living in a French-speaking country 😭
In Quebec, the government had to step in in the 1990's because parents tried to name their daughter Spatule (spatula) and forced the parents to change the name.
In my country names like Cherry (Višnja) Strawberry (Jagoda) Quince (Dunja) Deer (Jelena) Wolf (Vuk) are quite common
In Finland we have names like "Hymy" (smile, this I think is very uncommon), but these are more common "Aamu"(morning), "Meri"(sea), "Meri-Tuuli" (wind that blows at the sea", "Pilvi"(clound, not sure how common), "Voitto" (when someone wins something), "Sisu"(hard to explain but like the inner willpower people have), "Lempi"(love) and of course we have also "Jorma" (the same as Dick in English) and "Yrjö" (puke).
My friend is a teacher, and she had a student named 'Ca$h'. And yes, it was legally spelled with a dollar sign.
$$$$
Bethany Runyon so when they asked the parents, “you got ca$h?”
They’d both say “No. dunno where she is. She’s not at the bank..”
You can do that!? Where, America?
My friends brother had a friend in elementary school named "la-a", pronounced la-dash-uh
I hope he takes full advantage of it and changes his last name to Mon€¥ at some point.
@@milkteamachine oh my god that just reminded me I once went to a meeting that was run by a woman named Cashmoneh. The sh part was more of that french sshzzh noise we don't have in English, so it was sort of hidden that the poor thing was named a fancy version of CashMoney
I remember a Chinese name called 史(history)珍(pearl)香 (aroma) but it is pronounced the same as 屎真香 which literally means shit smells good.
This is literally the funniest thing i’ve seen all month
bruh 0 that should be the name of a Chinese restaurant
@Flyingcat 655 I CANT BREATHE
Bad boba
hhhh This reminds me of 王(king)诗(poem)婷(graceful) , which is a great Chinese female name. But it is going to be a disaster if she decides to go aboard. Because her name on the passport is going to be Shiting Wang in English.....
Also here in the Philippines, we recently had some local news saying someone named their baby *Covid Bryant*
NOOOO 💀😭
Covid Bryant is the name of a troll account not a person how did someone fuck up this way?
My cousin's planning on naming their baby "King Earthquake" after that one earthquake struck us-
@@fuwa1276 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
"Astrazeneca" for a baby girl. She goes by a nickname though, but ohhh I hope that's not her legal name.
I am from the uk and yes nimrod is a slang for idiot and we actually use it quite a lot but you would probably hear an older person say it
Must be regional, because I am ancient, and I've never heard it.
Here in the United States you don't really hear it any more maybe in old cartoons and a few new ones
Wait... So the name of one of Elgar's pieces means "idiot"???
Yeh im in Australia and i feel like most people know what it means but it would rarely get used
I swear I had never even heard the word Nimrod till this video...well, I guess just maybe where I live in the UK (southeast) people don't use it as much?
I think my favorite kirakira name that I’ve ever seen is 凸, pronounced テトリス (tetorisu/ Tetris)
oh my god
the kanji even looks like a T piece
@@AshtonSnapp the real meaning is like, concave or something.
That’s chinese
@@zacuery5097 jisho.org/search/%E5%87%B8%20%23kanji it is indeed Japanese(probably chinese too), it means convex, or uneven. 凸凹 means unevenness.
😂😂😂
WEED-KUN
•chiiru chuu• He was born on 4/20
OMG IM DEAD
HAHAHAHA
Nanana SNOOP DOGG!!
Weed-kun got stoned today. Imagine this.
Australian here, nimrod means idiot here too. We also use 'drongo', 'mullet' and 'flamin' galah'.
My dad worked with a guy called Al. His last name was Batros. Al Batros.
And I went to school with a Mai Dong, and a Holly Crapis. Yikes.
This is the information I came scrolling for. If America AND Australia know it means idiot, there’s no way England missed that boat
BeyondxDescription It used to mean hunter, until people misunderstood Bugs Bunny calling Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod.”
I had a teacher whose surname was Daniels. He had a son, they named him Jack.
Yeah in Ireland we don't use it I don't think but we definitely know what it means
I only knew the name Nimrod from the Marvel Comics :D one of the Sentinels is called Nimrod
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Your friend in PE: Pikachu I choose you.....
To be my partner
That’s happened once and they ended up dating
Lol
Would be a cute proposal.
It would be

I'm sorry. It appears you have...a protagonist."
"Oh my, what should we name him?"

Jesse P with that crazy ass hair while everyone else has normal hairstyles and haircolor XD
"Hey little marijuana! Come eat ur vegetables"
"You seem pretty high today."
I died :"D
Channy Chandelier "you seem pretty high today" made my day though :')
Channy Chandelier XD
saaaaame
Channy Chandelier as she said that it reminded me of my friend
high as a cloud :D
I remember the kirakira name 黄熊 (kanji: yellow bear) and it’s pronounced Pooh 😭😭
It's pronounced huang xiong in (Mandarin/Simplified) Chinese .-.
But POOH?!?!?! Rip
Pa Woo ahhhhh Winnie the pooh
Imagine being named after the president of china
It's like that episode of Friends where Joey fills out his name as "Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani"
@@stephaniem8278 Haha, right :'D
my teacher named her baby daughter “autumn” which isn’t that weird itself.. but the baby was born in the middle of spring
April was right there for her 😹 and May!
My front and middle name read together meant "light of dawn", but I was born at 11PM 😂
When I was a teacher, I encountered some unusual names. There was one girl called Chandelier. I'm serious.
Carla Tate not a terrible name but pretty unusual
I encountered a name that made me question a lot. His name is Skuggers. That’s his first name. I was floored.
Some people don't think about what they name their kids...Carla Tate, I believe you....so was this kid called Chandelier, or did she go by a shortened version, such as Chanda ?
I went to basic training with a kid named Mister. Mister Wesley.
Carla Tate i’m dead omg
I love how Jun asks the question about what name Rachel wants her future child to be named....as if theyre not married and would have the child together
Not sure, but it might be traditional for mothers to do the naming there. Or Jun could just be being accommodating .
My partner does that too, I appreciate it.
It's probably so it doesn't feel so clingy or "We ARE having a child together in the future, you have no choice!"
But that might just be me?
@@wolfheart8604yeah, but he literally asked her "what would you name your child if YOU had one" not "if WE had one". It made me think "you know that child is going to be yours too right?" lol
Lol
Yeah Jun are u planning a divorce? Lol. They already have 3 kids of the feline variety.
Shhhh my class has a guy named Nimrod
The English speaking people, including me, just call him Nomrid
I'd call him Nimmo. After a Neopet.
Could call him "Rod," which is at least a name (as in Rod Stewart, Rod Serling, etc.)
Horrid
yugiohfangirl6410 “Nimrod” used to be a word for a skillful hunter. Then Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod” in a Looney Tunes short. It was many viewers’ first time hearing the word, and they inferred that Bugs meant it as an insult. They kept misusing it until it took on the definition of an inept or foolish person.
@@erinmiller1433 Never knew that
Here in Poland there is a men’s name “January” in English you would spell it *”yanuary”* and the weird thing is in English January is a month name
Thats a pretty common thing in America. Mostly for girl names though. April, May, June and they have autumn named after the season.
@@fortniteismid3402 August is a name as well
TJ Ball Jun
I knew someone who had the name autumn her sisters names were winter and summer. I asked her "where's spring" she just looked at me like "why?" Also at least in America there's people named after gems/ birthstones, opal amethyst ruby diamond emerald pearl etc
Well, January is a name that is of Latin origin. Wait for Slavic names - they are actually very messed up.
*Wojciech* (also the name of the first patron saint in Poland): *the man to whom war is joy*
My name’s dhannon ....IM NAMED AFTER A FUCCKING YOGURT😭😭
Mm dannon
Creamy 😉
I'm pretty sure the yogurt was named after a NAME though, right? Altogether "Dhannon" looks a bit odd but sounds ok
You mean Danone? 🤔
Siskin it’s spelled dhannon, but it’s pronounced like the yogurt
In Germany the officials can forbid naming a child a stupid name such as Tarzan or Batman. They want to protect the child with such action.
Isn't Adolf banned too
Zum Glück!!! Am Ende nennt noch einer sein Kind Bratwurst xD
That s good. They do that in Morocco too
@@larrycantdraw8995 Ja, zum Glück gibt es in Deutschland ganz normale Namen wie z.B. die Pepsi-Carola, Pumuckl, Gucci, Milka, Imperial-Purity, Cinderella-Melodie, Schaklyn (Ja die gute alte Schaklyn, Jaquelines Schwester), Bluebell, Nussi und Cosmo!
Same in New Zealand
I remember an npr article years ago that talked about how in the US, long ago, there was a time when fathers used to have pretty exclusive naming rights over their legitimate children.
And a lot of the first names on the census during that era were AWFUL.
A lot of Dads named their kids after just household objects like "cup."
melissa saint Super Ironic I know of twins in my town who unfortunately their mom died giving birth and so their dad ended up nameing them. Lace and Leather. The girl Leather told me this when I asked "So how did you get the name leather?"
@@meagain177 Lace and Leather are AWFUL names.
Also, you'd think one at least would be named for her Mom
@@meagain177Wait a minute, Leather?
Leatherhead: “I guarantee!”
Nimrod means the same thing in the UK Slang as the US Slang.
A girl went to school with my sister and her legal first name was “Talula does the hula in Hawaii” when she turned 18 she legally changed it to Talula.
If she never speaks to her parents again, she has nothing but sympathy from me. That's a rare level of cruelty.
That's not a first name. That's a whole sentence. This isn't Dragon-culture where you're name is something you did.
😂😂😂😂
I remember reading a news article about that name. Good to hear she was able to change it!
Wait, are you serious, you knew her!? Didn't Talula get taken off her parents because someone ruled that anyone who gave that name to a child was practising child cruelty?
In Thailand, we have a lot of people have part of their name mean blessing in the Thai language.
The problem is it pronounce as PORN.

I went to High School with twins named Auto Beal and Snow Beal. Not so bad except both their middle names were Mo.
Jen Jen sure..
Look it up. They spelled it different. Otto Moe. His late grandfather was Otto Moe too and had a service station, died when we were in high school. Don't remember how Snow spelled his name. His nickname was Bub.
This reminds me when I went to camp and a girl's last name was Hollick and as a joke she was going name her future child Al Co Hollick

So in Turkey there is very weird names like “Roket” which means rocket (Rocket is like a spacecraft). But the weird thing is that there is a man (In Turkey) that haves the name “Roket” and also the surname “Atar”. If you connect (make it to an one word) these two “names” (or words) it means Bazooka in Turkish.
Hopefully they have an explosive personality
When you have a name with kanji that can be pronounced differently can you "change" your name by prounouncing it in the different way?
Good thought
Well both the Kanji and how to read it is kept as your name so you can't really change it..
My friend's mom had a friend named "Nonaime"
It's literally pronounced as "No-name"
Thats sounds just like they didn't even want the child, I feel sorry for nonaime.
I read it as no anime tbh
My mom had a friend and this is his name
"Congratulations, it's a girl! What would you like to name her?"
"No name, please."
"Nonaime, got it."

@@solsticerb2260 I hear you. I love your name, by the way.
In Finland, there is an actress called Satu Tuuli Karhu. Her name is literally Fairy tale Wind Bear.
Yulia Leafhill LMAO i didn’t even notice her name was that weird😂 Finland just has a lot of weird names ahaha, like Mansikka as a last name
It's actually kind of funny how a lot of people don't realize a lot of names from old European languages actually sound very like 'Native American' names when translated into English, which tended to be the thing with Native Americans to go with the meanings in English rather than the original language.
Its still better than Marihuana xD
Lempi-Lahja (favorite-gift), Meri-Tuuli (ocean-wind) and such are not even that rare. Tho I more think were. I find at least more older ppl named like these.
Uhh, im Finnish...
Omg... Imagine the kids picking teams shouting: "I choose you Pikachu!"
imagine kids throwing pokeballs at pikachu's head like GET INSIDE!!!!
"Red rover, red rover, WE CHOOSE YOU, PIKACHU!"
“Pikachu, meet Groudon!”
This reminds me of something that happened in my country: A document detailing "registration rules" for the local public health system surfaced on the net, and there was a list of "forbidden names" on it. We're not talking about weird spellings of a word or fictional character names - there were some truly horrible names in that list. Hopefully it was just some people who felt like messing around when filling their registration forms, because I can't fathom the fact that someone would actually name their child "Erotika", "Forbidden Fruit" or just straight up "Crossdresser".
I once knew a kid named Jedidiah so we called him Jedi. He was awesome.
May the Force be with him.
I used to have a girl in my class called Pacific, whose older sister was called Atlanta and younger sister was called Sydney. After we finished primary school they moved to Sydney, Australia.

I went to school with Bambi & Forest Pyre.
As for Japanese given names, the worst one I've heard was "Monchicchi," which is based of either a toy from the early 70s or the 80s cartoon.
REPLY
Well at least those sound pretty normal, actually kind of pretty. Like if I was writing a story I feel like I could name a character that. Its unique.... actually I might just write those down for later
me : woah that name means light and universe, so fancy 0.0
Jun : it means Pikachu.
me : lol never mind.
Somehow;
Light+universe
Pikachu
Pikachu, use Thunder Shock!
There's a girl in my class at school called Nevaeh (heaven spelled backwards) it's pronounced 'nev ay ah' and we are Australian so it is true that its becoming more common (most Australians also recognize the term nimrod as an idiot)
Navaeh is a pretty common name from the 1980s in the US. Maybe not in Australia but here I’ve met a ton.
I new someone who was named Annie-Mae. It's a good thing he was trans so he could escape a name like that.
Annalise from HTGAWM was called Anna Mae or Annie Mae originally. I think it was Anna Mae but it still sounds like anime lol.
A good thing about being trans is that we can choose our own names. I never liked my deadname
It's always fun when you realize people across the world are all the same.
LET'S BOND OVER BAD CHOICES!

My mother in law is a case worker and had to represent a woman named J'Quarter. Also, a woman named La-a....pronounced LaDasha....because of the dash mark in the middle
Rachel & Jun fun fact in Iceland there is a special names comitee that approve new names. So if you want to name your child smth not already on the list of approved names they have to sumit the name to the comitee and get it approved. The comitee also makes sure that no child is named smth that will get them bullied for example you can be named Ljótur which means "ugly" but no one is named that for obvious reasons. We also have all kinds of names that would be weird to foreigners like the name Bolli which means "cup" but that name has beed used since the Viking age so it's not weird to us :D
Rachel & Jun My uncle named his only son Bruce Lee. We're Puerto Rican.
Parents thought it would fun to name me Robin Hood. ( With the Hood spelled a little differently ) I actually got in trouble while paying with my debit card, because the cashier couldn't believe the card was legit ._.
My cousin named her daughter Areola, are you KIDDING ME? This flew right over her head when the nurses where looking at her funny.
Thicc Italian Sausage omg😂
What does Areola mean?
yeah areola is a wierd name. my cousin's name is Ari. ariola.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Did she have an exotic Areola XD!??!!???
My father didn't know that this name was used to describe a woman or man in a not nice way. However, his favorite actress was Ann Sheridan and Ann was already used, so he named me after the character she played from an award winning novel and movie, King's Row. When I went to England, I ran into problems telling people my name was Randy. So, when I started working for British rock groups, I used the nickname, Josh and it stuck. And that is why a 73 year old woman is named Miss Josh.
I laughed to tears! And it was informative, too ;)
Yes, it is definitely a worldwide thing, we have "sparkly", horrible names in Italy as well. Those poor kids.
Thank you for sharing
I've always thought my name was boring. But after watching this, I think my name isn't bad at all.
That Japanese Man Yuta I love your channel so much!
STOP SCROLLING YOU! And go check out this guys channel if you haven't already! One of the few good and really informative channels on TH-cam Japan!
Yuta your name is really really cool!!
That Japanese Man Yuta I think you have a beautiful name. It sounds nice and also cute! ;)
I'd imagine most are like this because chances are you aren't going to be the same kind of person as your parents. So you probably won't like the same names. Hence I ended up with a common jewish name. xD I'm not jewish. xD
I once had a boy in my class in middle school named "Awesome". Not even kidding.
Elphias Knightley that’s awesome
Oh barf!
It was so (If anyone questioned his ability to do something) he could say: "Awesome is my middle name."
Elphias Knightley lol 😂
Oof I knew a kid name Awesome too.
Haha racheal and jun 3 years ago, we now have X Æ A-12.
How do you even pronounce this name lol
5:12
jun: what name would want your kid to be in the future
me: 👀👀 its your child too
where I live, someone gave their child ‘Tallulah Does The Hula From Hawaii’ as a first name.
When she was 9 child protective services took the parents to court for... obvious reasons.
Rakai Tichborne I remember reading about a kid in New Zealand that the parents attempted to name Bus Shelter No. 29. I wish I was joking.
I read that somewhere
I remebered someone in Kindergarten who's name was Shining Chrysanthymum Christian
Shining? really?
mikayla ginders Oh yeah, I remember reading about that one too. I always thought it was twins, not triplets. I think Tallulah Does The Hula In Hawaii was banned in NZ too.
imagine a conversation between Nimrod and his teacher
Congratulations Nimrod you got a A+
classmate: Fuckin Nimrod
well, nimrod sounds bad just for the slang, in many other places it sounds cool and strong, but the real meaning is not so good, is like "the one who fight against God" so id like to say enemy of God, good name for a bad guy chatacter tho
DragoonKiller777 I knew it was someone from mythology but still Nimrod is Nimrod
just for you is bad, but just for slang, kind of meaningless actually, just a slang of yours :/
stil I recognize it's still funy for you as you are used to it as moron hahaha
DragoonKiller777 that's true
I love seeing another person liking the name 'Isamu' cause I reaally love it as well! Used it for a character in an Rpg and a book I write in my free time ^^
They're bad, but theres a part of me that's like, "If I have a kid to spare, I *COULD-*
Imagine knowing your name could be something beautiful with light and space, but it's pronounced "pikachu"
TRUE STORY: One of the applicants in previous job is a girl introduced herself with a nickname KAMI (pronounced as Cammy); When I looked in her resume, it says her name was KAMEHAMEHA.
Joana Marie Ballera Kami was also a character in Dragonball tho..but damn I love dragon ball too and would never name a kid after any character there.
The funny thing was, that was the name of a Hawaiian king, and that person could be named after him! But because of DBZ and how it's so renown today worldwide... That can be embarrassing, especially if it were their intention to name them after the show than the king! 😔
Kamehameha was a great king.
Ricochet Obscurity DBZ is big in our country, everyone practically grew up with the series, so it's more probable that its from DBZ. 😂 that being said, it's sad for someone who is trying to preserve the hawaiian heritage, but has been overshadowed by an anime.
vianjelos yeah! ikr??!
8:25 yes we do and it is still very popular
“It’s a name for a boy.”- Jun Yoshizuki. No it isn’t. It’s not a name at all, I’m sorry.
My mom had a classmate named Crystal Shandy Leer. No joke. The parents should be ashamed.

That's actually the best name after Jackie chan
Now that was definitely a decision made during an acid trip

My name is Barbara..... As soon as Rachel started talking about old fashioned names I thought of mine but I didn't think she was gonna directly come for my life like that ;_;
Well now you are entitled to go to Japan and meet with her
If it can make you feel better, here in France it isn't considered as an old fashioned name! I find it pretty cool actually :)
It's my mom's name and she's 54 on the 15th. It might not be common in North America anymore, but I like it!
I think it's a noice name
I wouldn't know what to say about mine but I feel like it is vintage 😂😂
How 「光宙」becomes "Pikachu"
The second symbol can be read as "chu" so that part works.
The first symbol is the kira kira part. It means light, and the onomatopoeia for light shining is "pikapika" thus resulting in pika-chu.
Now imagine if “Pikachu” had a sibling named “Bulbasaur”, “Charmander”, “Squirtle”, or even “Mewtwo”.
stranger to his friends: i’m going to catch pikachu.
kid named pikachu: **dream speedrun music intensifies**
I remember in Canada, I think one or two years ago, someone tried to name their child " Spatula " but it didn’t happen. I am so happy for that kid...
Bunny Random Crew imagine the name being spatula samson
Jenni Yep a KPOP Fan Oh my.. No!
Bunny Random Crew oof man thank god that kid didn’t get the spatula name.
i just had a dejavu with that comment
I Purple U Really?! Woow😅
My sister's boyfriend is named Dartanian and I keep telling my sister that if they ever get married and have kids she has to name her son Beowulf just so I can introduce my nephew as "Beowulf son of Dartanian" That just sounds so badass x'D
Kate Zimmerman nice
Ewww I saw a gross clip from that movie I wouldnt even. Lol
Lmao that's awesome
Taehyungs Derpface
You do realize Beowulf is a medieval Anglo-Saxon poem and is the oldest example of English literature?
ajoajoajoaj nope never learned about literature yet im still in grade school.all i know is that my mom watched a gross movie called Beowulf
9:10 Jun’s face sums up everything
When he said the Meiji era.. I literally had a really weird nostalgia moment of watching Samurai X...
The impossible kanji names are the Japanese equivalent of here in America where people will name their kid Wwxhwidndeijncrefnjiercerji but say it's pronounced like Jessica
Or Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, pronounced "Albin"
Ciel Ducklings Yanny, pronounced Laurel.
Ciel Ducklings lol ik what y mean
Jonquil Gemstone ummm no spelled laurel pronounced yanny
gianna remigio If you have twins, use both!
“What would you call your child if you have one?” What are you hinting at jun? Hahahahahaha
blackthorn helen that they’re never getting one.
RenaissanceT Why?
Horoko and Haruku don't sound like normal Japanese names...
Only ten seconds in, and am already feeling all laughy and giddy with anticipation.
When choosing a name think about how the full name sounds when said out loud (like a graduation). Put a title like Dr., prof., in front of it and make sure it sounds respectable.
My sister says that if she ever has a kid, she wants to name it Diarrhea. she says it sounds pretty but just has an unpleasant meaning..
I hope she never has kids.
She needs to be sterilized, no child should ever be named that
I had a Thai friend whose name is Dareeya and she got picked on in school and called diarrhoea
Get her to call it Daria(/o) if so, at a push. The kids at school will do the rest.
Edit; oh crap! Wrote it with out seeing the above comment. See it works!
STOP IT GET SOME HELP!
Eren Jaeger OH HLY FUNNY
Stupidity have no nationality.
Here, in Russia, in 2002, there was a couple which tryed to give their child a name "БОЧ рВФ 260602". It's a abbreviation for "Biological Human Object from the family Voronin-Froloff, born in 2002.06.02". The name was not registered, and that caused a lot of troubles for that child.
Rianon SorrowShine i kind of like that one oops
What a sad thing to want to call your child.
Rianon SorrowShine lol 😂
Hey biological human object from the family voronin-froloff, born in 2002.06.02 clean your room
Rianon SorrowShine LOL!!!!!!!
5:07 - yeah, you can be evolved to Raichu.
My favourite one is for girl - yuki - which means snow.
And weirdly enough, in Poland ( I'm from Poland ) there is a name called monitor, which means computer screen.
And when you were a baby, your nickname was “Pichu”
The strangest names we considered were Zephyr and Zepplin for our son. I really loved the name Ireland Reign, Noah Grace, and Mazzy Sunshine. A friend named her baby Mazzy Sunshine and I fell in love with it.
my friend’s nephew is named Naruto,, theyre not japanese,, they live in Washington state,,
TrinityRosealy I’ve never considered suicide more.
княуѕαlιѕ honestly
TrinityRosealy oh for fucks sake
Oh no do they even watch anime at all?
Tropical Bananas yes. thats why they named their first born child: Naruto
When you're Chinese and all of these make sense in Chinese but with different pronunciations
Kanade can relate
Can you write the pronunciation of each name he wrote?? Anf the meaning as well
I can feel you, my brother’s name in 5:33 but its pronounce “yong”.
@@sayakazuhiko1534 they don't have meaning necessarily because most of them are syllabic translation for example the name random brick said literally means "male too guy" which makes no sense and it's pronounced "gong tai lang" in Chinese
@@222supersilver oow i see
Thanks
Rachel is pretty good at ranting 😂love her
Rachel: "You can't name your child a single letter."
Me: Thinking of the Oprah clip where the girl had 1,000+ letters in her name.
I love how Jun kept looking so interested in the Western names when Rachel said them, and then the sudden realization and distress appearing on his face when Rachel explained what the words meant.
my mother once knew someone who's name was Toya, which is pretty sounding, except that her last name was Lett.
Mohhmoo 😂😂😂😂
Toya Lett = Toilet
YUM, YUM, EAT ‘EM UP!
Rachel and Jun are my 2 moods lol
I love rachels skin color 😣💕~
Phelony's little sister is Miss Demeanor.
Wayne Essar good one. 😂
Well played. :D
Wayne Essar LMAO HOLY SHIT 😂
+Wayne Essar
And Phelony's brother is called "Homi side"
or Criminale with a french tinge.
Calling your child Phelony is a felony :P
Raw Reiki rhyme
Raw Reiki you have 666 likes are you the devil?
Lol
The Cyan Soul might as well be Kagami Light. *aha... Death note.*
Raw Reiki 🤣🤣🤣
At this moment, you have 911 likes. I'm having a bit of an emergency, trying to decide whether to ruin it and congratulate your pun, or to leave it be - I think I'll just leave it be and like it internally.
3:48
I actually have a Japanese male friend who actually has the same character and pronunciation as this.. I didn't know that it was called ’Main Character’. XD
