I'm not sure.

But as Jason has stated elsewhere, you definitely wouldn't use the 'o' in front of 'namae'. Just like you don't use '-san' for your own name. These affixes should never be used to refer to yourself or someone in "your group" (i.e. your family when talking to someone from a different family; your company when talking to someone from a different company) They're honorifics. Using them for yourself makes you sound pompous.

"Watashi no o-namae wa ____ desu." (NO!)
"Watashi no namae wa ____ desu." (OK!)

If you said, "Watashi no AIM no namae..." you'd probably be understood, but I really think Bueller-san's way would sound much more natural.

Trigun ga daijoubu desu.

Were you trying to say that you like Trigun "ok"? If so, you can't do it like this. "Daijoubu" usually means more like "physically well or ok" or it's also sometimes used to say that it's ok to do something. But it doesn't work like how you used it. Just replace "daijoubu" with "maamaa".

Dorian-san, irasshai. ^_^ Watashi no chichi wa RONDON kara kimashita. Saisho wa, chichi no kotoba wa chotto wakarinikukatta (was hard to understand) desu. Ima wa mou hontondo daijoubu da ga, tokidoki watashitachi ga shiranai kotoba o tsukaimasu. Sono toki ni, watashitachi wa konna kao shimasu -> o_O Watashi no imouto wa mada RONDON ni imasu. Chotto samishii desu. ;_;

"My father's from London. At first, it was kinda hard to understand what he was sayng. Now it's mostly ok, but sometimes he'll use a word we don't know. When that happens, we make this face -> o_O My little sister is still in London. I miss her. ;_;"

Wasurenai is the negative of wasureru which means "to forget."
