Literal Kanji Names in MGS5

My students wanted English names for class and they decided to go with their literal kanji translations as their names so now I’m calling them things like “Rock Mountain” and “Small Forest” like they’re all random recruits in MGS5 on mother base

A social media post jokes that students chose English names by translating their kanji literally, resulting in names like “Rock Mountain” and “Small Forest.” The teacher compares calling them these unusual names to recruiting random soldiers in Metal Gear Solid V at Mother Base, making the situation absurd.
