やらかしましてすみません!

Just sounded to me very pretentious when everyone around you are named after rice fields and whatnot. Also dragons never existed so being named after a thing of folklore is kinda weird too.

Dimitri is just Demeter, who as far as we can tell, doesn't reside on Olympus either. Same with Irina and Eirene; Irakli (more of a Georgian thing today) and Heracles.
I want to say that dragons aren't exactly seen as some sort of hot shit in Japanese folklore but I've read exactly nill of that so I'm only familiar with bits and pieces. I can think of a story about a celestial but not one of a dragon (no, Orochi is not a dragon), so it's a simple dumb absence of evidence (and search) being evidence of absence on my part.

Still can make the name sound pretentious, tho.

Yeah hán-việt never made much sense to me anyway. I just find the similarities cool enough to point out as it's helped me remember some kanji readings where they clearly resembled our equivalents at the first sight.
> the same joke of the name of the country being in Japanese
which is?

Oh greek names so sound pretentious by default to me. I have a greek name myself too.

my friend's married surname is 万田 (literally 10000s of rice fields)
they mustn't had been doing so hot under Edo period or some shit lol

>so
Do

The longwinded names of Socialist states happen to use words invented in Japan so they're technically in Japanese.
Sorry, it's a joke in the sense of a ridiculous observation, rather than something with a punchline to tell at a party.

Hey now, it's still 2nd place if you go by the neo-Confucian organisation of society in Edo. (嘘だけど)
