Help[Opinions] Re: Chara
in reply to a message by Higuma
No, it's not the foreign association. It's the "pop culture" association. Not because anime isn't American, but because they're so popular. It's sorta like, back in the 1990s, I would have been reluctant to use the name Ren. Ren could be a perfectly legit name, like Chara is... but it was "ruined" by pop culture, at that time.
I actually agree with you that it probably doesn't matter. Even someone named Ren in 1995 would not be suffering for it today! I'm just reacting according to how I feel about it right now, as a hypothetical appealing name I could add to a list, if I were hoping to name babies.

I think I get what you mean. I like both Ariana and Selena, but I know next to nothing about Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez. If I used them, people'd think I'm a fan, but I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I like the name Justin, but it's associated too much with Justin Beiber to use right now, so I won't even as a middle
