ITT: Stupid names in anime and manga.
I'll start:
Baselard
ERU ERUFU

If you wanted a Heavy Object thread you could have just said so.
Are Tomino names allowed or would that just flood this thread with an endless stream of stupid/weird names?
Because this guy is called Shot Weapon.
>>157152010
All stupid names are allowed, so go for it.
>>157151876
Don't blame Bunnybutt for your own ignorance,
>>157152068
Not nearly as badass as the bollock dagger.
>>157152005
Definitely a winner when it comes to pure quantity of stupid names.
Frolaytia just sounds like fellatio
Ohoho is probably the stupidest.
>>157152068
It being named after a real thing doesn't make it any less stupid.
Might as well call her Rapier or something equally retarded.
>>157152010
Just Gundam in general. Even the post-Tomino shows.
*Especially* the post-Tomino shows.
>>157152144
What's so stupid about naming a battle robot after a weapon?
>>157152101
>Prizewell Cityslicker
What did his parents mean by this? No wonder he grew up to be a douchebag.
>>157152050
Here we have KittyKittenand Cosmo Yuki.
>>157152184
Crap, forgot the image.
>>157152152
That is true. Sci-fi anime in general caught the weird name virus from Tomino, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi about actual Tomino names though.

That in itself isn't stupid, it's the fact that the word itself is awkward. Of all the weapons they could have chosen to name her after, they chose one with the word 'lard' in it.
Lard isn't exactly something you'd want to associate with a cute girl. That's why I used Rapier as an example. It's a totally legitimate weapon, but would you really want a girl whose name sounds like 'rape'?
Any character called Ichinose.
I know it's pronounced differently and is a totally legitimate Japanese name, but I can't help but read it as 'Itchy Nose'
>>157152144
>Rapier or something equally retarded
Like Stiletto?
Still not as bad as Hresvelgr, a name maybe 20 million people, out of everyone in the entire world, would even begin to know how to pronounce.
Pina colada from gate
Yu-Gi-Oh
When i was 20 i never understood what was behind the meaning of the show until i watched season zero now it all makes sense
>>157152291
Not really.
That is only awkward for an English audience. Baselard and rapier are not English words.
To point out the lard in it is like Australian tourists making photographs of themselves next to German Ausfahrt sign posts. Sure, it's funny to them. But that doesn't make the word Aufahrt itself weird to people whose linguistic capacity doesn't end at the English language.
Lalatina
>>157152291
>would you really want a girl whose name sounds like 'rape'?
Yes.
>>157152381
Hræsvælg isn't hard to pronounce.
>>157152291
Rape is a very nice flower.
>>157151876
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
>>157152494
Someone's just mad because their waifu has the word 'lard' in their name lmao
Pico.
Wan Dabadadatta from K.O. Beast. I can understand why Right Stuf localized it to "Wan Derbard."
>>157151900
Their decision to use the German term was what made that so fucky, but I guess Eru Ereben isn't much better.
>>157152181
>My kid is special therefore he must have a special name.
>>157152291
Only if she's aggressive and into femdom.
Also I think attaching generally unattractive names to cute, sexy girls has a charm to it. In Disgaea I named two of my mages Gretel and Bertha. Immediately what comes to mind is an old grandma and a really fat bitch, then you see them and they are just the most lithe, graceful little semen demons. I think it's kinda hot.
>>157152674
Coco is a much cuter name.
Meme
Knives Millions
Trigun in general has plenty of stupid names. Although Brilliant Dynamites Neon is great.
>>157152010
Tomino goes with dumb names because they're easier for him to recognize and connect to. I recall him disliking Dunbine's protagonist because his name was too mundane or something.
>>157151945
No.
Her name is cute and perfect!
TADA BANRI
>>157152291
She isn't named after the dagger. She's named after the giant robot who's named after the dagger. Because she's a mechamusume of said robot.
