I had the name Kaji picked out years before I met him. I think about a year before I got Kaji, I was going to adopt a puppy from the pound. I even had tags made out with his name in katakana. I didn't get the puppy. Then Kaji came and his name just fits so well! Kaji is an anime character who is a womanizer, and just this weekend canine Kaji kept trying to kiss a 12 year old black lab! He was trying so hard to win her over despite the obvious size difference.
I have a few names picked out already.
Boy: Hanai, Kurogane, (Kuro for short) and Harima.
Girl: Yakumo, Iori, Auska, (sounds a lot like Oscar) and..... I can't remember the last one.
Pretty much I'll name my pups after anime characters in hopes that their names are unique. So far so good. Kaji is he only dog named Kaji that I know of.
