Being on the Asian continent, Jade Menagerie wishes to keep a
certain consistency on the basis of naming your characters.
This includes, but is not limited to using Oriental naming
resources. You are free to make up fictional names, provided
that they fit the theme presented by those of Asia. However,
those who wish to have more substance behind naming a character
may wish to look at one of many naming tools; this is only a
short list of common resources such as dictionaries and name
lists, and by no means is one restricted to them. From here,
you may find, inspire, or compile a proper name, or even use
these links to assist you in further explorations of naming.
Do NOT name your character after a character from an anime,
video game, book or movie.
