A name…

Very simple. Is 驪惇録馬 a weird Japanese name?
Is there a trick to making normal sounding names?

  1. Yes, that’s weird. It looks like some ancient Chinese warlord or something.

    I know what you’re looking for though, a name that’s unique but not unrealistic. Like an anime character. Am I right?

  2. Put it this way, Google it and you get

    “It looks like there aren’t any great matches for your search”.

    So yeah. That’s a bit like saying “Is “Egbert Cecil D’Aubrey O’Malley an unusual English name?”

  3. As a native Japanese, not only does it not look like a name, it is hard to even imagine how one would pronounce it. It sounds like an old Chinese or Mongolian warlord.

    If you need a name that is a bit quirky, old, or close to fantasy, you will need the help of a native Japanese speaker.
