Quote from fr33noob
why are these manga called what they are?
Mx0
Special A
Yu Yu Hakusho
Scryed
Appleseed
This is part guesswork-
Mx0 - magic/mahou, x, zero. Since the main character has no magical abilities in a magic school.

Yes they have weird names. No, I can't fathom why.
Because authors like to be original.

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.

The only ideas I got for Bleach are what's mentioned above....and I thought that bleaching your hair made it come out the color of Ichigo's hair, though I just made that up because I needed a reason lol.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Quote from Emeline
well for the main character in sukimasuki this refers to a person who has a fanatical interest in spaces, gapes, cracks etc
And because I don't remember who, but I think a friend or neighbor of CLAMP had a dog named "Chobi" and they thought it was cute, so they just added the "ts" and made it "Chobits"

According to Shonen Jump, the reason why they call Bleach that name is because the author wanted to it "Black" or "Kuro" for Shinigami but thought it would it would be boring. But white was complimentary to black and being bleached means turning white and to the author, "Bleach" brought up the impression of white.

"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
