"I'm doubting that most people would go that far..." Really? People name their kids after Twilight characters, and honestly I think it's better for kids to be named after anime/manga characters than Twilight ones.

As tempting as it is to name my son Frieza and have F by Maxiumum the Hormone play on full blast during labour, I would have to decline this one.

most twilight names like Jacob & Edward are normal and names like naruto and most anime names are not in most of america. on the other hand i might name my daughter Tiffany and call her Tifa but thats a videogame name and that doesn't count
