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).

I have to say I think it is extreme, which sucks because it's kind of a double standard. I would have to advise against using slang as a name, no matter what the language. There's too much room for error...some people in Japan may thing it's beautiful boy, where others may have a less flattering opinion on what exactly it means.
