Those who are unfamiliar with my particular "Legend of Korra Fanon" probably won't get this joke.
BUT, I trust that those who are fans of my "Takorra" pairing will find this hilarious.

I will admit, when I went about the creation of my OC
I wasn't THAT creative when it came to naming him.
I wanted him to have an authentic Water Tribe name (which often involves two of the same letters, and "uh" sounds)
but, opted to take an existing name from a different franchise, and rework it a bit.
"Takka" was modified from "Taka", the true name of the character "Scar" from Disney's The Lion King
(I chose it as it was the best Water Tribe sounding name that I could think of at the time.)

Well, I went ahead and researched the name out of sheer curiosity.
and, let me tell ya; I was SHOCKED at what I found.

I half expected "Taka" to be an african name, given my source material
(so, I was surprised to find it was REALLY a Japanese name.)
but, what REALLY caught me off guard was that "Taka" is more commonly a GIRL'S Name.

Okay, I am guessing this is quite surprising for Lion King and Scar fans (I am looking at YOU, )
but, I had no idea that I gave my MALE character a japanese girl name
It's almost the same as naming a boy "Alice", "Lucy", or "Sally!"
then again, "Taka" is also listed as a boy's name as well as a girl's.
SO, it may also count as being a similar name to "Sam", "Terry/Terri" and "Danny/Dani"

but, still..a GIRL'S Name. Takka and Scar's father's must have been VERY vindictive to name them THAT.

(and, the up side, NOW I won't have to worry about changing Takka's name
If and When I decide to do a "Rule 63" type of thing with Korra and Takka.)
