What do you think of the name Bishounen (bee-SHOW-nen) for a boy?
Its Japanese slang that literally translates into "beautiful boy". Would it be too weird to give a white, American boy a Japanese name?
Its strange but I really really love this and the nickname I would use would be Bish (beesh).

No, no, no, no, no, no, no...no. Slang should not be used as a name no matter the language. Plus, it pretty much screams ANIME NERD.

And bishounen usually refers to effiminate teenage boys...which I don't think should really be imposed on someone...

Right on, man. Don't saddle your kid with that.

It almost always refers to effeminate teenage boys. I like the sound of it, but the kid would get teased a bunch.
