Takahiro

Akemi = ah-keh-mi
Nakamura = nah-kah-moo-ra
Akishino = ah-kee-shee-no
Takahiro = tah-kah-hee-ro
You mean like that?
And yes, Akemi is in most cases a girl's name, but it depends largely on which kanji you use to spell out the name; if you use the kanji which Debezo has described, then it would indeed be masculine.
