Feminine Names for Manly Men

I really, really can't stand it when a male character has a girly name. Just saying that, because there's a lot of those out there, especially in Japanese anime and such. For example, Kingdom Hearts has Terra, Sora, Lea, Isa, Marluxia, etc.

Especially with Marluxia. The guy has pink hair, a floral scythe, and has control over flowers. This dude has FLOWER POWER. Still, at least he's got the title of "Graceful Assassin". Axel has "Flurry of Dancing Flames", which heavily implies that he's a flaming closet case and would give the yaoi fan girls a lot to think about.

Gross.

  1. Before they revealed Axel was once "Lea", I was like: "Okay, either he was "Lea" or "Ale", and "Lea" is the only real name..." And I broke out laughing. Then it turned out that was true...

    And then there's the question of "What was Marluxia's real name and is it 10 times girlier?"
