""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

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.
