It’s a Japanese name pronounced Ta-kay-oh. There is an American football player (not of Japanese descent) with this name who pronounces it Ta-kee-oh, but apparently this is not as close to the actual Japanese. Thoughts anyone? [name]Taki[/name], Kayyo…
Honestly, I heard tacky as soon as I read it. It doesn’t really appeal to me at all. I like Kiyo, though. Not that that has much relivence to this name unless you’re pronouncing it incorrectly.
Really…? You’re right. It looks made up despite the explanation. You know it. These doubts are so valid. [name]Don[/name]'t avoid the obvious.
[name]Hi[/name] Fuzzycub, I knew [name]Takeo[/name] wasn’t made up. It’s not my fave Japanese boys name (eg. [name]Akira[/name] or Daichi) but it isn’t bad either. Here’s some info on the name for you from the BabyName [name]Wizard[/name] website.
It can be written using different kanji characters and can mean:
??, “warrior, man”
??, “warrior, brave”
??, “fierce, brave”
??, “health, man”
The name can also be written in hiragana or katakana characters
