    ""Shika" means deer (鹿), and "-maru" (丸) means "round" or "well-developed", but is commonly used as a suffix in boys' names. Along with Ino (meaning boar) and Chōji (meaning butterfly), Shikamaru's name is a pun on the "Ino-Shika-Chō" winning combination in Hanafuda."

    From Wikipedia
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikamaru

    Most of narutos (japanese anime) characters have names which mean something else, this may be true of other animes. Maybe you could combine different suffixes with different prefixes.
