Japanese names
If I wanted to creat a name from a japanese word, say the word 'neko' for example, how could I do it without just saying 'neko'? Like would I have to say 'nekoni' or 'nekoko'..? What is correct?

Re: Japanese names
Hmm... I guess it depends on the context. If you were using it in a Japanese context you'd probably want to add a suffix, but if you were using it elsewhere you can leave it as is.
Re: Japanese names
I think the best way to do it is basically in reverse of what you are doing. That is, search through existing Japanese names untill you find one that has the same meaning as a name you want.

Re: Japanese names
but its helpful if you know what those mean too.
Chan is usually used for something small and cute or someone younger
Kun is usually used for boys
San is used as Mr/Mrs/Ms or as a sign of respect towards people older than you
Sama is, I believe, a higher form of respect, like master
Dono is for a lord

Re: Japanese names
Dono is equivalent to "madam" or "sir". Politer than san, but definitely not "lord". It's most commonly used in writing business letters.Lord Nyao wrote: Dono is for a lord

Re: Japanese names
well, kun isn't always for adults. you can use it for friends. For sama, not exactly God for cryin' out loud, domo is for God.anna_1loveanime wrote:kun(for adults, symbolizes respect)

Re: Japanese names
Yep thats it
Ex: From Naruto, Sakura Haruno's name means cherry blossom
But the correct way of saying it in japanese would be Sakura no Haru
