Edeyn So, my mother recently found a list of names that were being contemplated when she was pregnant with my twin sister and I. They were absolutely convinced that they were having a girl, so they really only picked out one name (which my twin sister got, being the first-born). However, the list she found was the list my father's side of the family suggested -- they were suggesting male and female names, being cautious and such. I thought folks might get a kick out of seeing the top ten list from my Japanese/Other-Asian family. Keep in mind, this was before the anime and manga with these names for characters were even conceived of.
  • Ranma
  • Akane
  • Tenshi
  • Sakura
  • Ito
  • Makoto
  • Hibiki
  • Futaba
  • Shion
  • Megumi

For those of you that don't 'get it' -- every name on the list is the name of a character from anime or manga that is either TG or constantly mistaken for the other gender or some other type of gender 'hilarity' in the story.

Wasn't it Jim Henson who said, "Without faith, I am nothing," after all? No, wait, that was God... Sorry, common mistake to make...
