But it's only a slight eyeroll. Hell, Armi's current beau's name is vaguely Japanese.
No name is going to make me not RP with you, no matter how lore inappropriate, unless it's like SUPER offensive or something. It will make me PAUSE, sure, but if you're eager to RP and aren't being a troll, I'll get over it. I mean, Armi's name could be considered iffy itself in some circles (And Loki's - even if it's not her real name - DEFINITELY is.)
It's your actions, not your name.
I name almost all of my RP characters after Japanese temples, if possible. Â I do this because I'm crap at names and I happen to be Japanese-American. Â But I know about as much of my ancestral culture as the average American (almost nothing at all).
I've used Daitoku-ji in a number of games, spelled "D'aito Kuji" in this game. Â I think it was Daitoku'ji in SWTOR. Â I think it's better than some of my other choices in various games which were mostly all versions of j-pop idols or homages to obscure characters from popular media.
