Just overheard a couple of nurses near my office snickering over it. A very ginger lady and her almost as ginger husband actually named their kid Ryusei.

GG kid. You didn't stand a chance in this world.

It's uncommon, so yeah it's weird by definition. I personally don't think it's cringey at all though. If I don't get weirded out by some of my friends having German or American names without being either of those things I won't get weirded out by the name just because it happens to be Japanese, or from any other culture really.

Maybe the namesake was the Kabbalistic terminology. Yeah right and his little brother Qliphoth.

Hey robin williams named his kid zelda


Though we all know it was the games that inspired it, Zelda's always been a name people have gone by, it's just rather antiquated in today's world.

As for this instance, there SHOULDN'T be anything wrong with that; how many people would be reacting if the name were German, French, or Spanish? Though the reality is that will almost certainly be an issue at some point. If I wanted to name a kid after a fictional character or another culture, I'd ideally want to pick something relatively subtle, such as Aeris or Erika.
