ohimechan- this is a bastardized form of ohimesama which means
princess. I dropped the formal -sama and added the affectionate

daughter princess in english (I mean that is what I am trying
to do)

Cute idea, except of course, that a father would not call his daughter
"hime" in any form even if she is a princess. He would either use her
name or just call her "daughter".
I have to disagree with this; I've seen many fathers call their
daughters various cute nicknames, from "princess" to "pumpkin" to
"frogface". I think it's a great idea to have Ranma use that kind of a
knickname; it helps us understand how much his daughter means to him.
