If O nemu-chan is for girls in Japanese, would O nemu-kun be for boys?

Question:


So I was using Google Translate (Lmfao) and I searched Sleepy Head in Japanese. Result? I got O nemu-chan! Since I'm a boy, should I change it to "O nemu-kun"? Will it still have the same meaning or will it change? Please help! Thanks!

Answer:


Onemu-chan, as well as onemu-san can be used for both baby boy and baby girl. I rarely hear onemu-kun, if ever. If you are jokingly referring to yourself, I would use onemu as an adjective, without honorific.
