I Don't Run An Orphanage!

chapter 13

Ok. Let's talk about naming.

For anyone who can read Japanese or puts these names into google translate, then you'll know these names aren't exactly creative.

I just take something related to the characters, put it in google translate, and hope it makes a good name. If not, repeat the process with something else related to the character and hope that makes a good name.

Yes, it's rather lazy, and kind of cringe if you can understand Japanese, however, consider this.

As most of you have probably figured out, I'm not Japanese. And I don't speak or read Japanese. And in a lot of my stories, I have to come up with O.C.s who have names for a language I don't speak or read. Yeah across all my stories I have a LOT of O.C.'s weather they are minor characters, villains, etc. And in this story, in particular, I have to come up with a lot more. So I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take forever coming up with one person's name, and then do that again twenty more times.

I could just pull up a list of Japanese names, but then I'll just get generic Japanese anime character names. Take a drink for every fictional Japanese or Japanese inspired character you know whose name is Sakura.

And I could learn Japanese, but I really don't have the time to learn another language so I can give better names to my O.C.s. Maybe one day. But not right now.

And to be honest, sometimes it helps me out in other ways. For example, did you know that Namae was just supposed to be the standard, generic government agent that was never brought up again? But as I was trying to think of a name for her, it took so long and I got so tired that I just called her, Taidana Namae, which literally means lazy name. I decided to make that part of her personality, people liked her, and so I brought her back as a running gag character.

Anyway, sorry about the lazy naming, but I have to make a lot of names.

"Yes!" Izuku raised his arms into the air in celebration. Sitting back in his chair as it rolled back towards the window.

It had been a week or so since they moved in, and Izuku had finally decided to get his quirk counselors license.

Using an online test.

Wow! That was...really easy. Izuku thought his celebratory high diminishing. A bit too easy. If it's that easy to get a license for quirk consoling then that would explain why society has so many quirk issues.

Moving away from that thought, Izuku thought about the children. They were currently all around the house, enjoying themselves to their heart's content.

I should check on them, but I still have a lot of work to do here...I should use the cameras. Izuku rolled his chair back up to his desk and went on his computer.

Another feature of the house was that it had cameras all over the place. And Izuku's phone and computer were both capable of viewing these cameras at any time.

"Let's see what they're doing," Izuku said.

Greenhouse.

The Greenhouse was about as big as the average person's house, with plenty of space for all sorts of plants.

Eri and Kioku were currently inside said greenhouse, staring at a very small plant.
