Afternoon,

I'm taking a break from a raid, atm, and thought I'd ask you folks for some help. I'm anxiously awaiting the next xpac of WoW to come about; MoP. I do, in fact, plan on playing a Panda-monk Hey! Leave me alone!

I'm just having a hard time coming up with a name! I usually pick a name that has relevance to the "culture" of the race/class I'm going with, but I know nothing of this knew "culture", so to speak, so I'm looking for advice.

She will be a healer (Mistweaver), of course.

I'm looking for something markedly Japanese.

Since pandas are indigenous to China, perhaps a Chinese name, like xiong Mao (bear cat) would be appropriate. If you still prefer Japanese, their equivalent to the name would be Kuma Neko (bear cat) which sounds much more exotic then the Japanese word for panda, which is Panda.

I usually go through mythology to find my names now.

Since pandas are native to china, here's a few:

Zhuanxu
Shaohao
Han Xiang
Cao Guojiu

Aww! I'm disappointed I didn't get more suggestions, but thankfully one of you posted the one that looks *nice* and I like the way it feels on my tongue! I'm going to reserve it right now. Thanks you two *hugs*

What about the female version of a Shinobi?

Kunoichi

If not that then there is always Tachibana.
