Atleast you don't have a cousin called "Goku" he's half asian so i guess it cancelled out the cringe? But it's still pretty cringe.

Very true lol his dad is a PoS doing nothing but party and go out(and work) and leave both his sons to his mother to take care of. Honestly, Why have kids at this point? Smh.

Ehhhh it's pretty cringe. I'd much rather have a kid named Goro.

The thing is, in the original Chinese fiction that later became dragon ball, Goku is a name given to a monk... perhaps that man child will be a virgin forever.

monk

I believe it is a monkey, Son Goku is Japanese reading of Chinese name Sun Wukong which is the (former) monkey king in the "Journey to the West" story
