That's an interesting observation. I never thought the sound "mu" could make
the words sound less powerful or strong. In the word "muteki", "mu" represents
"void" or "nothingness", and it's a strong word/morpheme. But if this word
sounds unattractive to your ears, there are thousands of other Japanese words
to choose from!
So, you feel words with sounds such as "ka", "ga", and "zu" seem more suitable
for warrior names. How do you like the word "zugaikotsu" which means "scull".
It contains almost all the sounds you may prefer! But that would be a
ridiculous name. Well, I guess by now you have more names than warriors?
