Description C'mon, guys, would you call your son "A Scarecrow"?..
No wonder he spent his life covering his face: just imagine, that all your childhood everyone, including your father, calls you a Scarecrow...

(Not to mention that in Russian the word "Kakashi" has clearly scatological meaning, which has become a source of countless jokes about poor guy )

The Sannin are

(UPD The gatekeeper is a random shinobi

lol This is cute. And Kakashi sounds like a cool name, but yeah.. the translation.. *shakes head*

Anyways, I agree with Orochimaru. All babies are equally ugly when born. And aww, it's almost as if Orochimaru is defending baby Kakashi

Why would someone name Hatake.Sr 'Sakumo'? Its a deviation of 'Sakumotsu' meaning 'crops'. In short, they both have stupid meaning names, but it follows a theme, so it sounds cool.

Revanninja [2012-07-28 06:39:14 +0000 UTC]

a possible reason for the naming is that in some old traditions the new mother would look outside her room and the first thing they see is what is made into the kids name. Mind you this was the traveling groups that did this. Others would use a sign or omen to name their kid so if for example Sakumo kept on seeing scarecrows or say got drunk and woke up in the arms of one that might explain it. I think its the 1st hokage but his name means pillar like a supporut pillar and the second I think means door or so not 100% on that. Sasuke for example is from the famous semi-fictional Koga ninja sarutobi sasuke from which both Uchiha sasuke and the 3rd hokage take their names from. It could also be Kakashi has another meaning like how Naruto means both Malestrom and fishcake.

there's a lot of weird double-meaning names in english, too, LOL.

What do you call a.....
man with no arms and legs? Matt.
man with no arms and legs in a museum? Art.
man with no arms and legs in the ocean? Bob.

Random lunch at Ichiraku's Ramen Stand...

The Forth: Oh, lookie! There is a fishcake in my ramen. Why don't we name our future child "Fishcake"?
Kushina: What a splendid idea, honey!.. x_X


Late night at Uchiha's compound...
A very satisfied Uchiha Mikoto: You always manage to weasel your way back into my good graces, Fugaku (pun intended)
Fugaku (enlightened): Oh! Weasel!!!

Alas, I might have read it, but forgot )) I like Naruto manga, but for quite some time I've been rowing more and more bored with it. So I stopped following it closely - just drop by once in a while in vain hope that somebody has finally offed Sasuke...

!!! If only Oro had stayed in Konoha and was as funny as this....XD His face is hilarious!!!!

I pity Kakashi though. But I don't think what the name in english means really matters, since some other characters are named after objects. (e.g. Iruka-Dolphin, Naruto-Fishcake, Sakura-Cherry Tree, Kisame-Demon shark, Itachi-Weasel) But you make a good point though.

Keep up the good work!!!
