Meaning of names.
Maka:
Man, I was salty in that original post. I guess waking up early does that to you? Nah, I think it's fine to deconstruct names. I have fun doing it too. :P
But anyways, most of the deeper meanings are listed in trivia for the characters (ie Miki + stars), or if it's just in a song (like believe my change, where they keep talking about wings AKA TSUBASA SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE), under the trivia there.
re: aikatsu then there's characters like Hinaki where her name doesn't really mean a ton but... The meaning is still listed... Even though her name is spelled in hiragana...

Okay this is slightly unforgivable. w

萩原雪歩:
萩 - "hagi" means "bush clover"
原 - "hara/wara" is a field/plain/meadow
together as 萩原 (also read as "hagihara") is listed as "reedy field" in dictionaries, i don't really have an idea what that means though since i'm not native english. I guess it's a meadow or something covered in clover.
雪 - "yuki" means "snow" as most of you probably know
歩 - "ho" means "walk" or "step"
In general you can just enter the name in kanji on jisho.org and it will list you the kanji meaning of the kanji on the right side
As a little bonus 2 interesting names:
響 - "hibiki" means "echo"
双海 - "futami" consists of "futa" for "pair" and "mi" for "sea". As another interesting tidbit about the name: 双子 - "futago", with the second kanji meaning "child", means "twins"

Oh, thanks. For Yukiho, I only knew the YUKI part. xD
As for Hibiki, that's the same with Hibiki (Suite Precure).

Yeah, I thought the same thing. BlazBlue go with that too.
As for Leon, I was kinda like "It's a trap, like Ryo. There's no way a woman could be named Leon". And I got a poker face after mistaking it. I didn't know about kanjis for Leon. I though it was an european name.

Oh, I see.
Anyway, I didn't watched Aikatsu, but other series that play with that stuff is Touhou. And there's Precure too.

Rofl, facepalmed cuz I remembered back then I always thought if I ever had Japanese daughter, I'd name her Akemi just cause I liked how it sounds and looks in words. XDD
Hold up... *ctrl-f searches Akemi on CG page*
Awww. :/
MetalPredat0r:
May not fit onto here, but would it be safe to say that Roco Handa's given name is based on the Rococo period of history?
I think this would make sense since the Rococo was an era in France's history where art was focused on representation of the leisurely activities of the upper class.
It would seem fitting for Roco to get her name from such a fancy point in art history, no?
