>>8661171
you are now aware that those are also legitimate names in Japan.

That's how all Japanese names are.

>>8661171
You are now aware tha--

Did I hear someone say weeaboo?

>>8661183

Pretty much. In English speaking countries, we name families after jobs (Potter, Sawyer, Tailor). In Japan, they name people after things.

So, in Japanese, WotC's 4e Nounverb name structure for monsters would be perfectly normal?

>>8661218
Yes

Names like "Monkey Skybridge" are normal.

>>8661171

Of course, the thing with Kanji is those names could be translated as that, or as something completely different. In any case, yes, that kind of name is normal in Japan.

But really, fuck Kanji.

They're also nearly all some sort of play on words relating to the character, often in multiple directions.

Moon language is a silly thing.

>>8661272
I don't see what UPPERSTREAMOFAWHITEVALLEY has to do with Keine.

>>8661277
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Keine

>The kanji characters for Keine translate loosely to "Wise sound" while Kamishirasawa literally means "Upper stream of a white valley." However, the Kamishirasawa kanji can be read as "ue-hakutaku" and so likely a pun by ZUN when he named the "Were-Hakutaku" character.

>Keine" is also a declensional form of the German word of negative article or negative determiner as "no" in "No one shall sleep tonight". Although the two words are pronounced differently, Keine's name used in this manner may also be a reference to her ability to negate history.

I liked Utsuho better when she was called Sky Ravensoul.

Well my name translates to Mightyman Pureblooded so I guess I'm no place to speak.

>>8661227
"Saru Sorahachi" sounds good enough to be confirmed for a next toehoe name.

Hmm, seeing these preposterous japanese names I'm thinking maybe the mary sue extreme table needs an update.

>>8661335
Phosphorous is a very preposterous given name.

>>8661335

But the thing is, these names aren't Sue-ish. They're perfectly ordinary Japanese names. A basic name for a girl in Japan, akin to calling your girl Anne, is "Cherry Blossom" (aka, Sakura). Hell, there are even dudes named that.

It's just how the Japanese roll.

>>8661192

>Wriggle Nightbug = Wriggle Nightbug = Wriggle Nightbug

FUCK YEAH WRIGGLE, YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO BE A ONE TIME BOSS. YOU NEED YOUR OWN FUCKING GAME!

Those names on the op are small time, I give you Tenshi Hinanai (比那名居　天子（ひななゐ　てんし）) or "The child of heaven, from the small family serving the Nai clan, who are in charge of earthquakes"

>>8661449
>She is very earthy for a celestial, and lacks charisma.

Fuck yes, dumping Charisma.

>>8661410
>perfectly ordinary Japanese name

Then how come when I google "Hoshiguma", the first thing that comes up is Touhou results?

>>8661550
How come when I google "Knightley," the first things that come up are Keira Knightley? "Hoshiguma" is a very unusual name but it's still a valid name by Japanese naming conventions.

>>8661550

Well, Hoshiguma is odd, but not because of its construction - but rather, because the Japanese tend to prefer to name each other after flowers or constellations or poetic stuff like that, while Hoshiguma is a construction with "bear", which is what makes it unusual (but appropiately oni-like).

>Play Touhou
>See boss
>Read boss name
>Realize boss is a bear

>>8661571
"Bear" is a normal name character. My old teacher's name was literally "Bear Valley Lily."

>>8661577

That is one cool name. I have heard very few names like that, though, myself. Might be an area difference, then.

>>8661171

>>8661171
Does japan just not have proper nouns or something? A name is a fucking name it shouldn't 'mean' anything. See: Smith. It's a second name it's also the name of a metalworker. It still doesn't change the fact that it's a noun, a name of something. They're the same word. Why do japs not have rigid naming conventions? You would of thought that when someone is trying identify a specific thing that they'd need a single word to use instead of something that can be interpretative.

>>8661637

Aw, don't get rectum sore, friend. I think he was just poking some fun. I mean, it *is* kind of silly when you think about how we look at Adjectivenoun name conventions in English

Yes, it's different in Japanese, but it's still humorous when you apply English logic to Japanese naming conventions. Heck, a *lot* of the weird Japanese things I can think of only really apply when you look at it with English logic. It doesn't mean it's right, but it *is* funny ::3

>>8661648

Yeah, no.

Yuugi's innate ability is manipulation of supernatural phenomena.

Dear god. I hope you never go abroad, you're liable to die of culture shock the moment you cross the border to Canada, or then the locals will get sick of your pointing out things that are "wrong" in their culture, history and society, and kick your sorry contents out of you.

Wrong Oni.
Suika is LARGE SIZE, SMALL SIZE, SUBATOMIC SIZE, and BLACK HOLE GENERATION.

>>8661637

You seem to think I judge it as bad, for some reason. Which is a wrong impression.

If anything, their fantasy naming conventions is one of the few things I love about Japan!

>>8661636

Yeah, my name also does have a meaning if you go all the way back to ancient Hebrew - but I'm mostly named after a dude from the Bible, with practically nobody remembering what his name actually meant. I just love how the Japanese have the drive to actually use names that mean stuff while knowing what it means and even getting a bit poetic about it.

>>8661665

>>8661698

The thing I like best about this thread is how people are ignoring the names we have and their original meanings, just because we don't think about them, doesn't mean they don't exist.

That isn't to say the Japanese don't have some stupid bullshit going on with their language, but there are much better things to criticise them over.

Marisa Kirisame = 霧雨　魔理沙 = Magiclogicsand Drizzle
Youmu Konpaku = 魂魄　妖夢 = Bewitchingdream Soulsoul

>>8661763
For being extremely overpoweredin canon, she was pretty easy to defeat in PCB. Most likely because her attacks were basically remixed versions of Ran's attacks. Some were even easier than Ran's.

>>8661793

Oh, Marisa.

You slut.

>>8661796
She was never beaten in canon though. Which is just a testament to how hilariously OP she is considering that makes her the only undefeated boss in the entire series.

>>8661796

Lazy. As utterly broken as she is, bitch is LAZY as hell.

/TG/ - TOUHOU FAGGOT SHIT

ALSO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING INDIANS

>>8661697

Exactly. A lot of us English speakers have just *forgotten* what our names mean and refer to, while the Japanese try to be a little more poetic with that stuff

I've been told my first name means "Victor of the people" in old Irish, while my last name refers to the color black in the same language. I wouldn't know myself because I've never looked into it, but that's what my parents told me, so.. yeah. Our names mean a lot more than we tend to give them credit for, but I think most eastern civilizations get into that poetic side of naming conventions more than western ones

Just looked up the meaning of my English name.

"Bright Fame Wise Protector of the Wise"

What the fuck.

>>8661796

To be fair, difficulty or stage of a boss doesn't directly translate into their strength. Suika and Yuugi are constantly referred to as being extremely strong top tier youkai, but they don't always get placed as such. Yuugi is a stage 3 boss in her introduction, both are stage 6 bosses in Double Spoiler with Nazrin (the mouse) coming in a later stage.

So it comes down to how people describe them in setting, it's probably easiest to say most the strongest characters are comparable to one another in different ways for strength because at that level everyone has some kind of retarded instant death power and it becomes impossible to judge, add in the fact that Touhou has several occasions where these characters can just do magic not described as part of their power for plot issues (stealing Spring for example) and it becomes one huge argument for narrative causality within the Touhou universe.

If the story stars you, you are fucking broken awesome.

Got a couple of friends with hippie parents named Rainstar and Riverstar.

Not "translates as rain star and river star." And Rainstar's a dude.

>>8661851
I think my name means "Lord of the Spear" in Gaelic, IIRC.

>>8661858
>add in the fact that Touhou has several occasions where these characters can just do magic not described as part of their power for plot issues (stealing Spring for example)

Indeed. Youmu's abilities wouldn't seem to be related to stealing spring, but there you have her.

Or perhaps that's more one of her powers as gardener, not warrior.

>>8661858

True. I love Reimu. Fucking Miko breaks FLYING.

>>8661796

That's easily debatable and comes down to exactly what you consider canon, for example several of the plots from IaMP and SWR are considered canon, generally Suika's plot in IaMP and ALL the SWR plots apparently.

That said, it's been stated that fighting Yukari is a unnerving thing because she doesn't seem to fight seriously, many have trouble judging her strength and sometimes she just lets up without much of a fight, perhaps as part of her schemes.

The point is Yukari is supposed to be a mysterious scheming bitch, she's not supposed to be a powerhouse. That's Suika's job, Yukari doesn't care for petty bravado and will get her own way through some twisted path only she can follow.

>>8661851

It's more that their languages haven't changed as much, so the old meanings of names are still apparent. Our names tend to have been passed down since the language was completely different, and you probably can't read Old English or archaic German. But a person who knows modern Japanese can usually read ancient Japanese with no problem.

So I might be named "Stone Scythe," but I needed to do some research to figure it out. A Jap with a similar name would just recognize the Kanji.

>>8661648
Oh M&M. So min/max. A friend of mine had a character that was immune to bullets, blades and explosions, but had no defense against a punch to the face.

>>8661959
See, I would consider that awesome. You're a superhero, you have a bizarre secret vulnerability.

M&M is incredibly easy to minmax. So easy that anyone with any sense realizes that's intentional; you're free to make an overpowered character if you want to break the game and not have fun. If, on the other hand, you wanna play a superhero RPG, you pick the powers that fit your character concept, not the ones that make you maximally effective in combat.

Like most RPGs, M&M is not designed to be played like D&D.

>>8661915

This is true, too. It seems like a lot of Eastern people know the history of their language more than Westerners

But yeah, it's fascinating to know a few things about your own name

>>8661875

Which then wouldn't explain why Sakuya, Reimu and Marisa are able to collect the essence of spring along the way which Yuyuko wanted to take back from them (and they were using to power their cherry borders which are like fucking bombs for how broken awesome they were).

I imagine you could explain it away as part of a ritual spell Yuyuko performed that allowed Yuyuko and others to gather the essence of spring, magic is common in Gensokyo and all the main characters can manipulate it in some way or another either through divine power or arcane, but it's just a minor detail in the larger plot device.

In Imperishable Night each team has someone who is able to freeze the night, for some of them it makes sense. Yukari manipulated the border between night and day, Sakuya used her powers on a larger scale and I suppose the other two teams would have to have used some kind of magical ritual as they don't have those kinds of powers.

Also, Eirin is able to replace THE MOON (or at least it's representation in Gensokyo) with magic. So yeah, it really is a fairy tale setting where things follow a odd childish logic, the kind where people think the Earth is flat. Gensokyo as a place is described as a world of phantasms and faith so this kind of thing is probably much easier there.

Either way, I don't see much point in arguing over who's the strongest in the Gensokyo universe, ZUN will trample over anyone's misconceptions any time he feels like writing a new story and everyone has a chance to shine.

>>8661959

That..is amusing.

>>8662036
>kind where people KNOW the Earth is flat
FTFY
But yes, god points.

Just a legitimate question: Why do touhouturds still believe that the characters are girls? It's very clear that they all have penises, and a penis is a sure sign of being male.

>>8662104

Futa=! male. Also, lolmagic.

>>8662104
There are exactly four purely male characters:
One is a giant flying turtle.
One is a character's father (he never actually appears).
One is a shopkeeper that only appears in the books.
One is an angry cloud.

The others at least have breasts, making them hermaphrodites.

Hey, I'm aware! Check that out!

But, oddly enough, I still don't seem to CARE.

>>8662150

That doesn't mean men don't exist, they even spoke of the 'Great Tengu' with a male pronoun so it's probable that even some male youkai exist. They just get no coverage.

>>8662138
Huge penis and huge balls = MALE, so touhou = MALE.

>>8662174

No, of course they do. There are many male humans in the Gensokyo world. They're just not *characters*, because they don't even get a role as extras or background characters. It's something you assume it's there, but which is never mentioned.

>>8662187
Male characters DO exist exclusively, for the simple reason that every single character has a huge penis.

>>8662198
That magically disappears in more than half the time?

>>8662174
>>8662187
SLANDER!
Obviously everyone in Gensokyo should accept Rinnosuke as their spiritual lineage.

>>8662186

But they don't have confirmed penises. In fact, the only character that might actually be futa is Nue, and that only when she feels like it (perks of shapeshifting). And Yukari, of course, but Yukari doesn't count for the purposes of any debate.

>>8662071
I got your back

>>8662186

Any touhou futa I see lacks balls, has a cock, has tits, and has a pussy.

>>8662213

>And Yukari, of course, but Yukari doesn't count for the purposes of any debate.

This should be a rule, perhaps.

OH GOD Touhou and 4E use the same naming conventions

>>8662578
You can thank Kebinu for that.

I used to think most Japanese names were horribly silly a long time ago.

Then I found behind the name and some basic information on origin of language for the last name. Found out I'm truly a bastardized spelling of God fearing Reef.

That's when I realized that most western names beyond retarded "I want my kid to be special I'll make up something" fall into three categories.

1) Something from another language that people thought was cool or wanted to name it after someone they knew, horribly maiming it in the process.

2) Something that meant something but due to general dropping, changing meanings, and general ignorance we have forgotten what the name means.

3) The most popular one and two compounded over hundreds of years.

In the end humans are fucking stupid in naming shit. I don't know if it'd be better to randomly stick combination of letters together just so they won't have the retarded baggage, but that won't take off as people love the retarded shit.

>>8662766
But the thing is, if you're from a primarily English speaking place like Britain and your name actually means "Maple Dogrunning" in some language that you can't speak yourself, that can slide.

But these names are what they mean in Japan's actual language. It's like introducing yourself in English as "Hi, I'm Maple Dogrunning."

>>8662766

Oh, come on. That's such a negative way to look at it

I have to admit that personally I'd prefer to name my kids based on how the word itself sounds, rather than what it means, but it's still pretty nice to think of loving parents, thinking on what they can name their child's, and how that name will reflect what they think of it

>>8662864
So it's better to show off your ignorance? That is really what it boils down to and general English rapes every other language for bits and pieces of everything. If we had one language and didn't steal words we would be introducing ourselves as "Maple Dogrunning" without batting an eye becuase it's our name. Only now we have an idea of what it means.

>>8662864
Would you rather name your daughter Shaniqua or Starbear?

>>8662930
This is pretty much what it boils down to. Deciding to be retarded and make up a name, be ignorant and pick something you just like (much like people who thought that Japanese character looked cool and got stupid shit tattooed on them), or look up what it means and let the verb noun/job title shit stick.

You can only be hax against an opponent who subscribes to the theory of borders, Yukari.
When you deal with something who only sees the world in black and white, you're fucked.

No gray space. No borders. No godhax.
Get fucked, Violet Eightclouds.

That can't be right.

>>8662766
What's with all the rage? That's just how human languages work, there's n need to get so worked up.
On another note, my name means Famous Ruler Brown. Hmmmm, not as interesting as it could have been. Although my last name is kinda retarded. It literally means a particular shade of the color brown in my native language. Feels bad, man:(

>>8663234
It's supposed to be Waterbridge.

If you go digging around, you will find an etymological meaning for near any name no matter how ordinary. People don't usually name things after random sounds. My boringly normal name means Ruler Wargod Miller.

Out of touhou names, I like Eirin's pompousness ("Eternal Jewel Infinite Mind") and the whole color-coded Yakumo family ("Countless Purple, Purple, Golden and Indigo Clouds"). Rememeber that "eight" usually means infinite in these, it's like a codeword.

>>8663440
I thought Chen's was Orange?

>>8663462
Maybe. Let me check.
Mmm... yes, Chen = orange, Ran = indigo, Yukari = purple.

Also: Red Beautiful Bell.

I remember a time when, at least in fiction, it was customary to translate the names of "orientals" by kanji meanings, and I kind of miss that. It was awesome. When the names are left as they are, they are just a bunch of meaningless sounds to us foreigners, but when they are translated they get a meaning that makes them interesting.

I wish my name was that cool.

Mine is Plum Big Huge.

Alice's last name should really be spelled as Murgatroyd. It's a reference to a certain Agatha Christie character, and an actual old English name.

It may be too late to change this though. Like Belldandy, the wrong spelling has become too famous.

>>8663499
Some oriental names are based on their pronunciation rather than their meaning, though.

If black and white exists then there is a point where something stops being black or white.

>>8663631

THIS QUESTION IS SO HARD!

Mystia Lorelei is one of Zun's better attempts at a western name. She also has a pretty memorable theme music name ("Deaf To All But The Song") and some memorable spell names ("Hooting in the Night", "Sphingid's Wingbeats").

An example of a failed one would be Patchouli Knowledge.

I like Letty Whiterock's name. It rolls off the tongue not smoothly, but solidly. Like ice.

This thread may actually be useful to some of /tg/ - namely the sort of people who name everything in their Original Fantasy World Do Not Steal as Krag-th''uul or Bräa'ngwyn or shit like that. Real names mean something.

(Though it's no good going Adjectivenoun Verber like WotC either)

Well, if everyone's going to translate their names:
"Lion like" "God's Grace" "Bitter"

Which in my mind turns into "Bitter, lion like grace of god."

>>8663878
A bitter lion of God's grace.

Sounds like a name of a devout, vengeful crusader.

>>8662279

>>8663920
Can we get a rule 34 on those two?

My name is quit common, Bearer of the Saviour, son of Augustine.

>>8663857
Yeah, after doing a bit of investigating on names I realized how moronic the unique for unique sake names are. Granted if you are doing mystical foreign cultures and shit you sort of have to do it. Which is why when I do decide not to bastardize german or some other language to my ends I make the quick stupid dictionary of the language with some basic rules and 12 words maybe. Shove them together and use the rules to add flair and you got yourself a bit of consistency on your made up monstrosities.

>>8663857
So, let's turn this into a thread to name characters?

>>8663878 gave me the idea to use a translated name as a character's name. "Bitter Lion of God's Grace" sounds pretty neat name or title for a crusader or paladin-type character.

>>8663568
Is your name Andres Herrero?

Could someone please tell me if this name means anything?

Much more straightforward. Andrew Smith (don't mind giving out my name because there are probably a thousand of us).

I'll just add my favorite tou-ho and then no more: Reisen Udongein Inaba.

Her first name is her real name and can be read a fuckballs-crazy five ways: "Bell Wizard", "Cold War", "Type Zero", "travel" (via German) and finally a misspelled reference to the German rabbit species Riesen. It's also been speculated that it's actually her rank instead of her name, given how the Moonbitches transferred it to some other random rabbit.

The rest is simpler. Udongein means "house of plantains" and is her nickname from Eirin's side, while Inaba is a reference to some old fairytale or another and is her nickname from Kaguya's side. Most moon rabbits don't seem to have birth names at all, and if the rank theory above is true, neither does R.U.I.

I have no idea how this mess should be parsed, so I'll just drop the issue and call her Reisen like everybody else.

Also...
>Personality: both carefree and crazed. Is a different person in battle.
>Since she is not originally a creature of Earth, she isn't much like humans at all.
>She can change her personality completely to match her circumstances.
>She is not really very kind

...she's the Joker.

Doesn't Inaba translate directly as Rabbit? (a la Tewi)

Man, almost! I was thinking in my native language. Totally forgot that Andres had an english form. How about we try to guess each other's names based on their literal translations? We'll assume they're english names except otherwise stated. Mine is

Language is spanish.
Not afraid to give out my real name since newfags can't ñ.

>>8664284
Zun uses it as a catch-all term for the rabbits in his games, but the word is a place name and comes from this:

Also I find it amusing how Reisen's canon personality description is the opposite of what she's like in other (also canon) sources.

>>8664343

Not really. She's always the serious and to-the-point person that gets shit done but also gets pranked by Tewi, both in her canon personality and in Inaba of the Moon & Inaba of the Earth.

Touhou is pretty trash guys. Why can't you pick up a bullet hell game worth even touching, like Ikaruga?

Fuck all y'all paedophiles, /v/

>>8664599

But Ikaruga is shit. I mean, if you had said an actual decent shooter game, like I dunno, Radiant Silvergun, or DoDonPachi, or even Thunder Force, you might have had a point, but Ikaruga is all the problems of the bullet hell genre with none of the fun parts.

So basically, A B and C mean something, but ABC as a word does not, and also works as a pun with something else.

Littlesisterred of Wisteriafield, huh? She always felt like more of a big sister.
