Hot by name, hot by nature!

Ranma comes to mind.

ahem... there are at least 2 major anime series NAMED 'Sakura' after the main character...

You know, we could make a game out of that. Someone picks a Japanese name, and then everyone tries to count the number of anime characters or seiyuus with that name...

my $.02: personally I prefer Yui (not sure why, the name just sounds... spirited but elegant. I just can't get used to the kanji for it though.)

- 5parrow

> Kasumi - DOA, more but can't remember

> Sakura - UY, SFA/Z, more but can't remember ahem... there are at least 2 major anime series NAMED 'Sakura' after the main character...

my $.02 for names to add: Hikari (/Hikaru), Yui

and my notes:

Ryoko - forget Tenchi Muyo, go straight to Nadesico. Ryoko's cool.

Sakura - big can of worms here. I'd go with Shinguuji Sakura.

Megumi - Keiichi's sister, who should be on the 'Anime Marriage Prospects' webpage... *drool*

Chi - just HOW many Chi's are there anyway?

- 5parrow

Eh too docile for me.

Indeed and I am not a huge fan of either.

I believe it has been decreed that Atsuko is the cutest name of them

Minor variations allowed.

Let's start with Yuki [1]:

Yukito, Card Captor Sakura

Sohma Yuki, Fruits Basket

..er, that's all I can think of. Anyone else?

[1] Which ironically contrasts with the thread title, but I just like the name.

Yuki, G_On Riders. (The girl who can catch carp with her breasts.)

O_O;; Got to say that I've never heard *that* as a statement of affection...have to use that one next time I'm on the town!^_~

Dex, NOT using it on a ten-year-old...well, unless she's *really* hot!^
