It's impossible to avoid having the same first name or surname as an UTAU or two sometimes, but it's never good when your UTAU ends up with the same name as either a Vocaloid or a very popular UTAU (ie, Aiko). In particular, verbs or adjectives used as names may sound very odd in Japanese.ĭO: Make sure it's not the same name as someone else. Using Japanese words might work out for you still, but rather than trusting Google Translate, consider asking someone who knows a bit of the language how your name sounds before deciding upon it. Instead, consider using actual Japanese names, especially for your surname - a great resource for this is, which lets you search for Japanese names if you use the #names tag in your search. Naming using Japanese words (rather than names) is difficult for those who don't know any Japanese at all you're likely to miss the nuance of the words you're using and end up with a name that sounds strange. Your safest bet is not to use them at all.ĭON'T: Use Google Translate. To many users, they're a badge of honor from coming from an older era to many others, they're a stigma of following "Vocaloid Trends", which I will continue to refer back to throughout this guide. However, seven years later names ending in -ne have been played out.
It was basically the standard of UTAU naming convention for a long time, and it's still extremely popular. This was a trend started by the Crypton Vocaloids and followed by the VIPPERloids (troll Vocaloids, in their original form) which then took off in popularity thereafter. But picking a good Japanese name is a lot harder than it looks so, I'll talk about Japanese naming first.ĭON'T: Use the -ne kanji to end your surname. One of the first questions you probably have to answer is this: do I want a Japanese name or a non-Japanese name? Many people want Japanese names due to making Japanese-speaking UTAU primarily. The wrong name might even turn people away from your work before they even start listening! So, how do you pick a good name?
Your character's name is arguably the most important feature of their design: it's what you'll call them, what people will know them by, and you'll be writing it constantly.
