I'm trying for a baby!! Yipee, so I'm already getting a massive head start on baby names! So far me and the partner have thought about goku and luna. Anymore kind of names like this that people know of?????? :)

Haha no Smile but I used to genuinely imagine having a little girl called princess when I was a teenager haha! I have now seen the errors in my ways

yes, my son likes Dragon Ball but probably prefers Naruto.

I'm just wondering if you're a teenager, Littledolly?

I used to play What Shall I Call My Future Child when I was 13.

Thankyou for the opinion
I do feel that there is always a chance of your child not liking their name. But I will take that onboard, thankyou!

Awful. What if they're not into that and are stuck with a name.

Luna is marginally less bad than goku.

Haha! He's a dragon ball-z fan;) I think it's slightly geeky but ah it has a ring to it, first I thought he was mad when he said the name, but I've taken a liking to it haha

My son is so I recognised the reference - I also know far too much about pokemon for a middle aged non Japanese woman :o

My partner is haha! And pronounced go-koo I guess haha, echo sounds good, and yes every name I think of I seem to find some kind of bad thing/nickname about it

I take it you are a Manga/Anime fan?

Gohan?
Rukia

Luna is becoming more popular. Not heard of Goku though, is it a boy or girl name?

Unusual names - what about:

Red
Echo
Cleo
Jupiter

I like Luna, but I would worry about her bing called Lunatic.

How would you pronounce Goku?
