Do Names Carry More Weight in Japan?

[OverdrivePrime]

You talked to Japan! Dude, I love that guys/girls! You tell Japan............ keep it up. :thumbs:

I did, and Japan says, "Just try and stop me!" :buttrock:

I always like it how they do a name & catch phrase my self like " who the hell do you think I am"
Or
"let me say this to start!"
or a granny pose ala hibiki and kabuto ect

& death note is a good example of a name having another meaning

Remember in Spirited Away when Yubaba gains power over Chihiro by stealing her name and replacing it with a simple 'Sen'?

Names are power in many cultures.

Egyptians can't access the afterlife if you erase their name from their tomb for exemple.

Plus Japanese just got WAY cooler names than us. Names in Judeo-Christian cultures all have WAY boring origin. Allways some random saint and stuff (where'd that saint got HIS name?!) or some random Latin name ><

The only "cool" Judeo-Christian names are the names of angels. All others...meh.

Bah. The name Max kicks the hell out of any of those wacky angel names. I mean seriously, Jophiel, Raguel, Uriel, Chamuel? No thank you. Dudes with names ending in 'el' are inviting an asskicking. I'm looking at you, Michaels of the world! Change your name to 'Mike', or else! :eyebrow:

Now then, having an angel's name as your middle name... that's pretty badass.

Exempt from my "Angel names are wimpy" decree: Metatron & Sandalphon, possibly because they were supposedly originally mortal dudes.

Can you guess his middle name folks? :loltongue:

It's just a dramatic pause to add emphasis. I doubt Japanese people walk around talking like that all the time.

And off the top of my head I only remember seeing such in tokusatsu and anime, both "kids" mediums ... so ...

I guess...Shamsiel...lol

"It's an American name, honey. Our names don't mean ****."

Ah, Pulp Fiction. You can learn a lot from that movie.
