Yoshi makes me laugh.

Pronounced YO-shee.

Irresistably cute!

This is a good name, but I won't use it on a child. I'm afraid they might tease him/her like, "Oh! It's the green Yoshi! Where's Mario and Luigi?" It's good, but I'd rather name a pet this than a kid.

I always think about the cute little reptile. I'm a big fan of Nintendo, but I think I would name either my dog, fish, or any type animal, not human.

Yoshi reminds me of the Mario Brothers!

I'm a big Nintendo fan. And I love this name. If I get a dog, I have to call it Yoshi.

I love Yoshi from the Mario games! I couldn't use it on a child because of the dinosaur, but it's a really adorable name.

Every time I hear this name, I think of Splinter's owner, Master Yoshi, from TMNT. I like this name and I personally would name my child Yoshi, though it'd be a middle name (eg: James Yoshi).

Please don't name your child Yoshi. They'd never escape the Mario jokes.

"Yoshi!" as an expression in Japanese is somewhat of a slang term meaning "Alright!" or "Let's do it!" or "Let's go!" etc.

Unless you're Japanese, it's best that you avoid this name. Everyone will think of the Mario character.
