Comments for the name Usagi

In the show "Sailor Moon" it was Sailor Moon's Japanese name.

Sailor Moon's surname, Tsukino, is a pun for 'of the moon'. So her name itself is a pun for the rabbit of the moon, a Japanese legend.

There's a Manga (Japanese comic) about a rabbit samurai called Usagi Yoyimbo.

Most Japanese people would not name a child "Usagi". In fact, some might even laugh (maybe quietly to themselves) if they heard that a couple had inflicted that on their daughter. [noted -ed]

A famous writer named herself Usagi (Nakamura Usagi) as her pen name, but it's not for a real name. It's funny if you see people called Usagi.

Actually, it isn't too uncommon to see a girl named Usagi in Japan. It's just that the Kanji used to spell it doesn't mean "rabbit". I've seen it spelt so that it means "heron's feather/wing", "full moon", and several other ways that I can't recall at the moment.

In the manga Tsuki no Shippo (Tail of the Moon) by Tinko Ueda, the main character is named Usagi.

This name is soooo cute. I'm naming a character this. ^-^

In the manga series DOLLS Seiju mishears his teammate's name (Usaki) as Usagi and he insists on calling him that.

Associated with the moon as in Japanese tradition a rabbit is seen in the shadows on the moon, not the man as in European tradition.

In the anime and manga series "Junjou Romantica" a character (Usami Akihiko) is nicknamed Usagi.

After watching the Japanese version of Sailor Moon, I know that this name is pronounced "oo-SAW-gee".

This is a Japanese name.

Said oo sag ee.

Usagi is also the nickname of the character Usami Akihiko in the anime/manga Junjou Romantica.
