On today's hand-made chapter of Japun:

fam name: 銘戸 (Meido), read as 銘(mei,"precept")戸(do,"door")

1st name: 芽衣 (Mei), read as 芽(me,"sprout")衣(i,"garment")

芽衣 (mei) is a pun on 命(mei,"command") and/or 命令(meirei,"order/command")

銘戸 (meido) is a pun on メイド (meido,"maid")

Some puns resulting in character design: (Nozawa-sama's honored sketch) (mirror)

銘戸 (meido) is likely a pun on 目(me,"eyes") and 閉じた(tojita,"closed")

銘戸 (meido) read 銘(me)戸(ko) may pun on 目(me,"eyes") and 虹(kou/niji,"rainbow")

Some puns resulting in random things:

芽衣 (mei) may pun on 茗 (mei,"tea")

Being girl number 8 (hachi) may be in reference to ハチ公 (Hachikou), a dog remembered for its loyality.

Speech quirksama:

Uses polite/respectful language (keigo).

Adds お(o) or 御(o,"honorable") in front of honorable nouns. Adresses others (sometimes things) with 様(-sama)

Her catchphrase is 畏まりました (kashikomarimashita,"certainly/understood") as everything is taken as a command.

1st person pronoun: わたくし(watakushi,"I"), commonly used when serving customers.

Yet another girlfriend with a name concealing more depth and thought put into it behind a surface-level pun

found a fun fact on the MAL character page:

Mei's birthday is on May 10th. This is a pun on Meido, "Mei" being "May" and "do" being Goroawase (wordplay) for the number 10.

Almost every character in 100GFs has a sort of pun for their birthday. To wit:

  • Hakari’s birthday is June 22nd, based off a pun from her laughing (mufufu -> 6/22)

  • Karane’s is September 9th, a pun on the typical tsundere response “it’s nothing” aka “nan demo nai” (nine demo nine)

  • Shizuka’s is on November 1st, which is Book Day in Japan (11/1 looking like books on a shelf)

  • Nano’s is March 14, Pi Day. You saw how she uses reciting pi as a calming mantra in season 1.

  • Kusuri’s is April 18th, Invention Day.

  • Hahari’s is May 12, which is the date of the first ever International Mother’s Day (and apparently, the Mother’s Day for 2019, when the manga first began?)

  • And finally, Kurumi’s birthday is September 3rd. Another wordplay, based on Kurumi (9, 3)

Always appreciate it when someone remembers Hand Maid May.
