baby names~

[askerian]

Anyone wanna help me find baby names for Teamwork's Team Seven kids? I already have the names I will use for them when they get there (the one Sakura is carrying now and the future ones I might never write about) but before Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura settle on them, they're going to go through LOTS of choices.

Okay so criterias! Japanese, boy, girl and unisex, not necessarily a "real" first name (lots of names in naruto aren't things anyone sane would name their kid, but apparently it's acceptable in Konoha), and not necessarily something you or I would like, but something the character would like -- even if it's so horrible it makes the other two go VETOED in a second. Sakura is going to look toward flower names (even for boys), Sasuke toward noble, heavily traditional or symbolic names, and Naruto, well, he's the one more likely to name his kid something that translates as "most orangey orange ever". That or ramen ingredients.

I think Sakura might like the name Nadeshiko for a girl. (it's a type of flower. ^^)

[askerian]

^^ Pretty!

Uzumaki Nadeshiko is kind of a mouthful. XD Uchiha Nadeshiko's a little better I guess... Watch as they call all the kids Haruno. XDDD

Just for the sake of poking fun, Naruto might consider naming their child (boy) "Ando", after the inventer of instant noodles. XD

Sakura's choice.... "Sumire" might sound like something she'd want. (means 'violet')

Yikes, Sasuke... y'know I have a hard time imagining him picking names for anything. O_O

[askerian]

ooh, Ando. (makes me think of Heroes though, but Naruto wouldn't. XD) And Sumire sounds pretty neat, too, but does it mean the flower or the color ?

(as for Sasuke, yeeeah. Maybe he'd go with his ancestors' names or something. XD No imagination.)

There. That's pretty much all the Japanese names you'll ever need, unless you want something really weird :)

Hope it helps.

Muahahaha, this is one of my favorite parts of baby fics. and the reason my future husband and I will probably not name our child until it can choose one for itself...

Sasuke's suggestions: Saikou (revival, F), Sainen (revival, M), Nezumitori (rodent-trap [think weasel-trap] M/F?), Ihouko/ken (memory of deceased, M/F), Honkai/Honmou/Sukushi (long-cherished desire [finally he revives his clan], M) and finally, Ekika (moist, fleshy fruit such as tomatoes. :DDD)

Sakura: Hanakago (ceremonial petal/flower basket, M), Hanami (cherry-blossom viewing/flower viewing, F), Kabin (flower vase, M/F), Rinkei (flower bulb, M), Eninaru (pretty as a picture, F/M), and Zenchi (healing, M)

Naruto: Nasura (he made it up: NAruto, saSUke, sakuRA), Seimen (the art of noodle-making, M), Kamon (whirlpool design [to keep with the family], M], Kamako/ken/maru (toad, M/F), Idzuna (type of fox spirit [Kyuubi's suggestion?], F), and Midorigo (baby [nice and simple], M/F).

I honestly had too much fun with this, and I hope I helped you out a little!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen and http://www.color-guide.com/e_index.htm For Naruto to try suggesting from; the reds seem to have more "orangey orange that ever did orange".

The flower violet, of course. :)

^^ Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I entirely trust that site, though -- seen some "french" names that... really weren't, and meanings that I knew for sure were wrong, so i'm a little wary. ^^;

... Also it's got a lot of really common names, and I'm pretty sure Naruto isn't going to name his kid anything common, like, EVER. XDDDD So I still need suggestions for him.

[askerian]

AHAHA Nezumitori!! XD I like the ones that mean "revival", i think he'd be likely to want something like that. Long-cherished desire is a bit girly for a meaning for him, though Sakura might suggest Sukushi with him in mind ^^ ... heee! Ekika! Awesome.

... kabin. Poor kid. XDDD Rinkei is pretty neat too ^^

... Oh man, Nasura, I need to use that XD -- SEIMEN. THIS IS YOUR DESTINY, MY SON.

I don't think they'd let Kyuubi share his own names, though, because I bet they'd be more like "I suggest 'pink squalling thing'. He'll choose hs damn name when he's old enough to eat his enemies alive and not before. >("

yes, yes, that's awesome, thank you ^____^ If you have more ideas, gimmegimme~

[askerian]

Okay that works ^___^ Thanks!

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA NAME A KID MAKOTO. IT CAN BE FOR A BOY OR A GIRL.

Tru fax.

"Nadeshiko" is also Kinomoto Sakura's mother's name from Cardcaptor Sakura. *loves this*

[monique-27.livejournal.com]

...Watch as they call all the kids Haruno. <- DON'T TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS, ASUKA! *SQUEES*

[chibirisuchan.livejournal.com]

(shhhh, cheating on my homework monogamy...)

I can totally hear this conversation happening:

Naruto: Boys' names. Uhhh. Wakame! [seaweed often used in ramen] It's a plant, right? Or Hijiki! [also seaweed for ramen] Or or I know - Konbu! [seaweed used in nearly EVERYTHING soup-based, including ramen, udon, you name it...]

Sasuke: (facepalm)

Sakura (twitch twitch): I... appreciate your willingness to compromise on the plant names, Naruto, but naming anyone after something limp, green, and floppy... especially someone we want to continue to speak to us once he becomes a teenager and has a male ego to boost...

Naruto: Oh. Yeah. Heh heh. Um. Wasabi? It's a plant too...

Sasuke AND Sakura: (facepalm)

Naruto: No good? Um. Momiji? Could be a boy or a girl, and it's not limp and floppy--

Sakura (blink blink, thinking of momiji the maple tree): That's in danger of actually sounding nice.

Naruto (thinking of momiji-oroshi the daikon-and-hot-pepper-grated ramen condiment): --And we'd still be warning all the hormonal teenagers not to get too frisky with the tasting in about fifteen years or so. Eighteen. Twenty...

Sasuke: Naruto, Momiji is the name of that effeminate little rabbit-boy. No son of mine is going to be named--

Sakura: --Sasuke, you read Fruits Basket?

8D That one time I was bored and made up fan!spawn of Teamwork-universe OT3 in my head, their names were Kazuki, Fuji, Kichiro, and Kiku. They were a bit cliche-ish because lame is my default setting, but... Okay, so Fuji and Kichiro were fraternal twins, and the respective genetic fathers were Emo Boy - Emo Boy - Jesus Fists - Jesus Fists, and I had way too much time on my hands last year.

I seem to remember "Kazuki" had a really cool meaning. Something like...uh...harbinger, or beginning of a new line, or some such.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[askerian]

... really? XD What were they like? (... I totally come up with fan-fanfics too. And 'fell through a wormhole' crossovers between Teamworkverse and fics I liked. you wanna talk about lame? XD)

Ooh, those sound like cool meanings. Where did you find the names, so I can re-check?

[askerian]

... *snort* good try. ;p

Well, maybe Sasuke would suggest it. >.> And then Naruto would be "LOL if that's one of yours and inherits your face no one's gonna know if it's a boy or a girl." And there would be killings. u.u

[askerian]

hee, thanks ^^ Do you have favorites in there?

[bootoye.livejournal.com]

My humble suggestions

Koumyou - hope
Hakushi - chance
Shichi - seven
Yuri- Lily
Daiichi - first
Shoushi-midnight
Toushin - sword blade
Kyouki - dangerous weapon
Higi - secret ceremony
Koishi - beloved
Aiji - beloved child
Kouin - scion
Keishi - heir

This was hard I don't envy you having to choose. I got mostly stuff for Sasuke or Naruto to suggest.

(Kichiro is something like "lucky son"; Kiku is chrysanthemum; Fuji is...uh...it might be wisteria. o.o;; This was a while ago, and I lost the homework I scribbled notes on.)

(For the fan!spawn, the boys had their fathers' hair and their mother's eyes, and vice versa for the girls. Because I'm OCD. And am good at creative procrastination.)

(The other eight times I got really really bored and started researching cool Japanese names for Team Seven podlings, I ended up with a list that reads Hitomi, Michiko, Keiko, Karin, Yuri, Kikyou, and Himawari. Because I'm sexist and tend to make up female characters. But most of those are common, so.)

(For some reason I just remembered that I was doodling the characters and decided the "Hitomi" would turn out lesbian. 8D *bricked*)

Akani, Entan, and Ouni. Very eye-smarting red-oranges.
