I saw an ID of this Vietnamese kid that is named Mai Quốc Khánh. Funny thing about his name is, his surname “Mai” can be understood as “tomorrow” and his given name “Quốc Khánh” means the National Independence Day. Vietnam Independence Day is on September 2nd and the kid is born on September 1st. So his name literally translates to “National Independence Day Tomorrow”. What’s even more hilarious is that this name sounds perfectly casual to Vietnamese unless we really think about it.

In vietnamese there's a LOT of names that sounds casual but will give you the "holy shit" moments when you try to break down each word's meaning. Take Uncle Ho's every names from every stage of his life for example. When he was born his name was Nguyễn 'Sinh Cung' means "born with reverence"; when he's mature his name was changed to "Nguyễn 'Tất Thành' means "everything will be ok"; when he travel abroad to find a way to save Vietnam, he changed his name to Nguyễn 'Ái Quốc' literally means "love my country" and when he went back home his name was Hồ 'Chí Minh' means "towards the light" (get it? "The light of communism") or "a bright ambition".

I had this one elementary school student whose name was Rin, but the kanji in her name was for "Suzu" (bell), so she explained to me that her family gave her the name because "rin rin" (like ring ring) is the SOUND the bells make. 😄 It's actually kind of cute, but it's confusing as hell. Edit: Wow, thank you everyone for the likes. Also, there are many knowledgeable people as well as native speakers in the replies who explain the kanji and it looks like it's actually a very common name. Thanks for sharing with us. 🤗 I just want to point out that this happened about 7-8 years ago, and I was still new to kanji and how it's read. Now when I read other comments, this name doesn't seem like a kira-kira name, but I believe many people would agree that figuring out the pronunciation would be difficult, especially for beginners. 😅

Agreed it feels insidious to name your child something hard to read, strange or just bad to make their life "more unique" unless youre willing to change your name with them don't do it.

However, the one thing that isn't prohibited, are Last name combinations (Chile uses 2 last names, the father's first last name first, and the mother's first last name last, the mother doesn't lose her last name when married). So when a couple conformed by a man with the "Rey" (meaning King) last name, and a woman with the italian last name "Follador" (which unfortunately translates to spanish as "the man who fucks/has sex"). The kid born from that marriage had the last names Rey Follador (THE KING OF SEX) Which is very funny but also kinda sad

He’s not old.” And they laugh and say “no, old man is pronounced o-gee-sama.” You lengthen the “ee” sound. Prince is just “Oji-sama” you say it fast. So now whenever I need to say old man in Japanese during class, I always exaggerate the “ee” sound and I’m like o-geeeeeeeeeeee-sama and the kids crack up.

Here in Finland we have pretty strict naming rules unfortunately/fortunately. It has it's good and bad sides. It prevents parents from naming their child after products, or mundane items that are easy to make fun of. Of course, I know from experience that even with a pretty normal first name kids will find a way to rip on you, but the chance is lessened. But on the other hand, the rules about the name having to follow not only the Finnish alphabet but also Finnish conventions means names that have extremely easy spelling and pronounciation aren't allowed if the name is "too foreign". Meanwhile the board approved these names: - Häkä (Carbon Monoxide) - Anoo (Doesn't even follow Finnish pronounciation rules and means "is begging") - Pöly (Dust) - Saturnus (Saturn) - Taide (Art) - Unikonsiemen (Poppy seed) - Yennefer (Hard to pronounce, doesn't follow convention) - Kide-Pilvi (Crystal cloud) - Flea (Just the English word Flea) - Kissa (Cat) - Äälö (One letter away from being dumbass) - Lootussydän (Lotus heart) And a bunch of names with hard pronounciation that sound extremely silly (not because they mean anything, just the sound) and don't follow convention, just sound "Finnish enough" so the rules are extremely arbitrary and not consistent at all. And if your name already fits old names you can make combos that mean stuff like "Dude Drunkerthon" basically, I've met them.

We also have variations of it such as Cherubim, & surnames such as Archangel... Princess & "Queenie" too. Though they're mostly viewed as outdated and/or lazy if by themselves.

@@brandonhughes4076 Unless they request a name change, Chinese and Korean residents names are always read in the sino-japanese pronounciation. Unless someone has a Chinese or Korean name that can double as a Japanese name (like Yangzi 洋子 could be Yoshiko, Tao 桃 could be Momo) and they get people to call them that, Japanese are able to distinguish Chinese and Koreans by the kanji of their names. Monosillabic family names like Wang, Park, Chen, Kim, etc. are rare in Japan (only one I can think off is Hara 原), so that give it off immediately.

I noticed that while playing Genshin Impact. There's this region in the game based on China, called Liyue. Everyone there have chinese names like Gan'yu or Hutao or Ningguang. I play with the JP dub because I like the seiyuu's work there, and suddenly little Paimon starts talking about some "Gyoukou" and I'm like: Who TF is Gyoukou? I'm talking to Ningguang here, did someone from Inazuma(the in-game region based on Edo-era Japan) appear here? Then comes the region based on the middle east, iran and india, and they said their as normal such as Tighnari or Nahida. Sure, they didn't pronounce those weird consonants because how many people can pronounce the gh, and I'd never expect anyone outside China or speaking a tonal language to ever get the tones of the chinese characters right, but Who TF is Gyoukou?

When I first came to Japan I was working in a 保育園(hoikuen) as a part time job, and one of the children had the kanji 空 (Sora). I was so happy because this was one of the very few Kanji I could read at the time. Also all the staff use to call him Sora as well so I thought I was right, then I met his parents and mentioned his name in conversation. They then informed me that his name is actually pronounced Sky! Yes the English translation for Sora = Sky! My first thought was are they Hippies?

Like the fact that in Death Note, Light Yagami's name is Yagami Tsuki (夜神 月: Night God Moon) and fans had called him "Tsuki" for quite a time until the creator proceeded to explain how it's supposed to be pronounced in that scene with Naomi Misora and how Tsuki is actually Raito (ライト) which is derived from English's "Light" to represent the kanji for Moon (月). It is very confusing but I accept it wholly because I love Yagami Light too much to complain. Even though by logic, his name should have been Yagami Hikari (夜神 光) Hikari, the kanji for light. Light has kira-kira name while being Kira.

Mexico has tons of "weird" names. A while back it was also common in some areas to find people named "Batman", "Goku", "Onedollar" (as in "One Dollar" but pronounced diferently), "Usmail" ("US Mail"), etc. I think that sort of names are now prohibited but people still find workarounds, such as naming their kids after foreign soccer players, sometimes giving them the player's full name (like "Cristiano Ronaldo", i.e). There was also a small trend a few years back when a popular national tv channel aired some Turkish romance series and people started naming their kids after either the main character or her love interest (all of them very Turkish names, of course). There's also a lot of foreign names around, so it's kinda common to find people named "Brian" (often misspelled as "Brayan" due to how the parents pronounce it), "Kimberly", and so on, and which leads to many misspellings/different spellings of the same name, so it's common to find cases like -Lissette -Liset -Lisset -Lizet -Lizzet -Liseth -Lysset -Lyssette -Lyzeth (all pronounced the same since they're supposed to be the same name, and which I'm guessing could make any legal/official paperwork a nightmare)

The topic of the names in different cultures is very beautiful. I'm from Ukraine and I have an associate with one of the most beautiful names I've ever encountered. His name is Svitezar. Now, I know that might sound like an evil necromancer to some, but let me explain why it's beautiful. Svitezar is composed by two words "svit" that means "world"/"light" and "zar" was an ending to the names that meant "royal" but that wasn't always the truth, anyone could name their children like that. The most beautiful thing about this name is that the short name when you get familiar with this person is "Svityaz'" with a soft "z" at the end, that is just wonderful because we have a local lake called exactly that and it's very beautiful there.
