Surname question... -
05-19-2010, 01:47 PM
Hello, everyone. ^^ I am wondering about a question of Japanese surnames...
Is it strange to use "setsuna" as a surname instead of a first name in Japan? Or is it wrong? I have never lived in Japan, so it is difficult to know what the standards are over there. I am sorry if my english is bad or is difficult to understand... I am usual speaking french... thank you very much! |

merci beaucoup, sashimister.
eh bien, je suis en train d'ecrire une histoire au sujet d'une fille japonais, et je voudrais utiliser le nom comme son nom de famille. mais je chercherai pour un autre nom... avez-vous des suggestions? :P |

Cherchez-vous un nom peu commun ? Le nom exigerait-il un bruit, une lettre ou une signification particulier ? Vraiment, plus de conseils, plus d'idées. Peut-être que vous pouvez nous dire au sujet de ce caractère. |

Basically that would be like using the name "Lisa" or "Sarah" or "Michelle" as a surname in an English or French-speaking country. Here, like in other countries, a given name doesn't just become a family name. The family name "Setsuna" doesn't exist, and it's unusual enough as a given name.
As above though, if you are writing something and don't want it to look 100% accurate, then you can do what you like. Many names in manga and anime are weird anyway. |
