Need help with naming

So I need help naming my latest creation, Axe/SR.


No, I'm not crazy. I'm going to a brutal ninja-type concept, but my japanese isn't too good and I cant think of any names other than Axe Ninja Guy, which is quite lame.



Any help? =)

Slice in Japanese is either "kire" or "suraisu"
Brute - Either "chikushou, hitodenashi, kedamono, kichiku"
Hack - "hakku"
Ninja - "ninja" .....Go figure...
Stealth - "suterusu"
Swift - either "mokumoku, musei, seishuku, hissori, sairento"
Invisible - either "meimei" or "inbijiburu"


Kire Musei? Meimei Hakku?

Hope that helps

If you give me more to go on, I can definitely come up with something.

Do you want a traditional sounding male Japanese name (i.e. an old name, the kind few modern Japanese would name their kids) or are you looking for a name inspired by the characters powers/characteristics?

Or do you just want a direct translation of several words?

Kichiku Suraisu, "Brute Slice," really shines out to me, thanks a bunch =)

Kichiku Suraisu . . . if I'm not mistaken if you want that to say "Brute Slice" it has to go Suraisu Kichiku. . .then again I'm not Japanese.

This thread reminded me that I want to learn how to speak a second language well before I die.

Same here. I only know bits of a few, and my Spanish is waning quickly.

Would love to further my knowledge of Chinese too.

The way China is growing in power and influence.. we may ALL need to know Chinese sooner rather then later!
