Choosing a Name (Japanese?)

[Quasar Kid]

So I'm thinking of renaming my FR-S.

I've owned her for over three years now and even though I had kind of informally decided on a name back then, I'm starting to see a need for something official to reflect her personality since I can finally afford to make modifications.

I'm looking for thoughts and opinions. (Be they genuinely helpful, or entirely sarcastic. Either way works for me. )

I'm a big nerd for Japanese culture, and I'm liking the name Yuki Usagi (雪兎) (Snow Bunny). Not to be confused with Yuuki, which is a common name meaning "courage".

It works because traditionally, snow bunnies (the Japanese version of snow men) are white with black ears and red eyes. My FR-S is white with black, and red details (stitching, lug nuts, pulleys, intake, etc.) Also, I plan on installing a Rocket Bunny kit this summer. And finally, I live in the North West and love to "drift" in snowy parking lots in the winter.

Not a big deal, but I'm bored and newly focused on aesthetics thanks to some expendable income. Thinking about maybe getting a vinyl decal made.



Thoughts?

I have Miyuki みゆき (beautiful Snow)

That looks really good in hiragana. The kanji would look pretty good too! (stylized) 美雪
Good choice!

"INB4LOK" License plate.

Not to be technical, if you write 雪兎. it'll be Chinese more than Japanese. Japanese, we write it ウサギ instead of 兎. We can write it 兎, but officially, we use katakana instead. So if you gonna do snow rabbit, it'll be 雪ウサギ.

Also I wanted to make sure and understand that, 雪ウサギ / Snow Rabbit is rabbit that made out of snow like this



& not this


Just my 2 cents
