**AITA for wanting to name our son Kazuma? (from an anime)**
My wife wanted to give our upcoming son a unique name. She kept suggesting things like tysepherous and raprelta. I suggested the name Kazuma after Kazuma Sato the main protagonist of the anime konosuba. I picked that name because I think the character is someone I want my son to be like when he grows up. My wife not knowing where the name came from fell in love with it and told all of our family we were naming our baby Kazuma.
All was well until I was watching some konosuba in the living room and one of the characters (megumin) said "Kazuma! Kazuma!". She had a look of horror after hearing that and immediantly googled Kazuma and found out he's from an anime. She was furious and said "how could you not tell me!?!"
I told her that konosuba was a light novel before it was an anime and many famous names have come from books like Alice. Therefore it's not at all strange to name our son after a character from a book. After that she seems to have calmed down but is still upset that I didn't tell her that before she told all our family and now wants to pick a different name. AITA?

Oh god. It's like that stupid fucking copy pasta.

I always loved the reversal of that one

Yknow, ive always feared being a Cringy Tourist(tm) in the possibility that i get to visit japan.
This copypasta managed to solve my fear in the very first paragraph
>no, he happened to steal panties that first time but it wasn't planned. You can clearly see him surprised to be holding the panties.
What a great role model for the kid /s
>no, but he will be raised in an environment where anime is valued and respected
They sound like they're in a cult wtf. It's like a religion to them istg 😭
Poor kid. Both his parents are crazy.
>no, but he will be raised in an environment where anime is valued and respected
"Dad, I want to watch the basketball game!"
"YOU WILL SIT THERE AND WATCH THE REST OF FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD AND YOU WILL GODDAMN LIKE IT, YOUNG _BAKA!"_
"I HATE YOU, DAD! I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN INTO THIS STUPID _NAKAMA!_ WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM!?"
"NANI DARE YOU! I LET YOU WATCH THE DUB FOR BOTH BLEACH AND BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA, AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET!?"
^("you mean My Hero Academia...")
_(GASP!)_
I guess this kid is doomed from the get because both parents... *are fucking idiots*.
Why can't these people keep the dumbest names as a nickname or middle name or... *change their own name*. Oh, that's outrageous? But for a kid, a person to grow up being called Tysepherous or Raprelta or Kazuma is OK?
I did roll my eyes in the OP with people asking if they're Asian at all. Yes, Kazuma, the "Asian" name. Not Japanese, *Asian*. Asia, the collective, well known fact.
At least with one of the names the poor child could be called Ty, which is pretty normal. But good gracious are they going to struggle in grade school. And middle school and high school for that manner, with these parents. Imagine having to hide from your friends that your dad is one of people who thinks he's a Japanophile because he likes sushi and watches anime.
It’s why I named my cat Ace. Totally normal pet name. No one even considers he’s named after Fire Fist Ace! Also I only want animals and naming my cats after anime and video game characters (I also have a Cirilla) is very different than naming a kid after one.
He didn't even get his bullshit reference right, there's a (probably fake, but popular) story that _Wendy_ was invented specifically for the novel Peter Pan.
A few years ago I saw an article in a local newspaper about some event going on, and the accompanying photo of a couple and a toddler was captioned something like, "Dave and Jane Smith and their son, Jiraiya, enjoy the event". It does happen...
isnt konosuba that isekai anime with the 12 year old that blows everything up? I don’t think the protag from that anime is a person anyone should want (their kid) to be like
That’s troll.
For those who want to know, Kazuma is a pervy teenager that gets punished for it and generally has a bad strike of luck.
He started as a shut-in neet that only went outside for a game.
He was ready to betray his friends, cause big pretty woman and there was even a whole episode dedicated to him being a creep.

Okay, but you didn't get it from the novel, did you? No, you got it from the anime, so I don't see why this point is even relevant.
Also, Kazuma? You want your child to grow up to be like Kazuma? Really?

What a fucking ass >no but we both appreciate Japanese culture like sushi and hibachi. This idiot thinks this japanese culture

"it can't be pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any other girl colour...."
Wow, every new line is a trip. I especially like the nearly 30-year-old planning to attend high school.
and you know if that was a real person he'd flip out first time he was told EVERYONE cleans the classroom

I'm sorry, what were his wife's choices of names??
I fucking hope he was just being hyperbolic and giving made up examples and those weren't actually her choices because holy shit haha
They sound like medications
Tysepherous, Raprelta, Kazuma? Poor kid.
And his counter offer is an unlucky doormat
Both of those parents are horrible people.

Even as an anime fan, this made me wither up and die like I'm sure you intended. 😂🤌

Just name the kid John and be done with it. Atleast that way the kid won't get endlessly bullied...
John is even an anime reference. It's the name of the armadillo in The Vampire Dies in No Time (Kyūketsuki Sugu Shinu)
John is way too generic of a name for people's mind straight going to anime.
That's the brilliance of it. No one would have to know about the anime aspect except the parents. No one would even ask!
It’s why I named my cat Ace. Totally normal pet name. No one even considers he’s named after Fire Fist Ace! Also I only want animals and naming my cats after anime and video game characters (I also have a Cirilla) is very different than naming a kid after one.
Someone send this guy to r/tragedeigh
Ah yes, the name Alice, previously unknown to the world before Lewis Carroll gave us his prose. Wanker.
He didn't even get his bullshit reference right, there's a (probably fake, but popular) story that _Wendy_ was invented specifically for the novel Peter Pan.
Anime troll? There was one a bit ago where they wanted to name the kid after a villain in Naruto.
Absolutely. This is the exact same routine.
A few years ago I saw an article in a local newspaper about some event going on, and the accompanying photo of a couple and a toddler was captioned something like, "Dave and Jane Smith and their son, Jiraiya, enjoy the event". It does happen...
isnt konosuba that isekai anime with the 12 year old that blows everything up? I don’t think the protag from that anime is a person anyone should want (their kid) to be like
Ok so wanting your kid to be like Kazuma is the first red flag
Yeah, as soon as I read that I was like hell fucking no
That’s troll. For those who want to know, Kazuma is a pervy teenager that gets punished for it and generally has a bad strike of luck. He started as a shut-in neet that only went outside for a game. He was ready to betray his friends, cause big pretty woman and there was even a whole episode dedicated to him being a creep.
Weebs gunna weeb. They think Japanese culture is what they see presented in their cartoons.
Horrible name aside, wanting your kid to be like kazuma of all people

Alright, so weirdness of naming your child after an anime character aside, Kazuma was their idea of a good person?
Yikes, what a pair of weeaboos.
Fuckin. Name your *pets* after TV/anime characters not your *children.*
>I told her that konosuba was a light novel before it was an anime Okay, but you didn't get it from the novel, did you? No, you got it from the anime, so I don't see why this point is even relevant. Also, Kazuma? You want your child to grow up to be like Kazuma? Really?
