I presented my post weirdly. Yes, the current naming conventions dont use 'modern' Japanese names, but most of the information in my post was correct, first name is Japanese. Last name is completely optional or whatever you want to put there.
For example, if you played the quest to rescue Rahubahn in the 3.0 MSQ, you would see Yugiri's full name as 'Yugiri Mistwalker.' Her full name is not completely Japanese, which means creative freedom to whatever you want your last name to be.
A lot of NPCs use non-conventional naming for their surnames. Hamon Holyfist in particular comes to mind. It's difficult to base "appropriate" names off of NPCs since many of them don't follow the rules. Though it's easy to argue that there really aren't many rules for names to begin with--start a new life, choose a new name for yourself. That sorta thing.

As far as choosing a Raen name I just dislike mongolian naming is all. Â I didn't choose to go with Raen naming due to "anime". Â Like I stated I actually did my research before even thinking of a name and the one I chose in my OP is one from the 16-18 century era. Â I didn't choose it due to any anime, I am not like that.
Anywho thanks for the replies. Â Already created the guy. Â Used the random name generator in game to get a last name so went with the name I wanted for the first name and one the game gave for last name.
Now here's to hoping people aren't that closed minded enough on Balmung to think my name came from some anime -.- Â Really hate putting time and effort into my names just to be labeled some anime addict when I'm not >.>
Anyone that points to a Japanese name and calls it anime is pretty ignorant. It'd be one thing to be an Ichigo or a Naruto or a Goku, but eh. Toshihiro doesn't have that anime look to it. Plus, if someone is going to avoid RPing with you because the name follows the naming conventions set forth by The Voice of God simply because it looks "anime" they're basically a gigantic jerkass.
