i've always liked Hitami :)

edit: usually though my favourite Japanese names begin with K or M - they seem to sound better in my opinion!

I like the name Aya... it can be even used by us Arabs (middle east).

Among boys names i like Yamada, Keiski....... I cant remember any more.

I love Japanese names. I always tell people whenever I have a child I will use a Japanese name. Although I don't know whether I actually will or not. They are just so much more interesting. Of course that could be because I simply don't hear them everyday. Regardless, they are still beautiful.

For girls, Suki, Akane and Sayuri.



I thought Ichigo was a boy's name; what about Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach...?

And by the way, Itachi means weasel, it IS NOT a boy's name. There is no one in Japan named Itachi, as you'll understand. lol


Pd- I'd have never imagined Sora would be a girl's name and Riku a boy's.

I guess there are some exceptions....you know how Tony is a bo's name, but if you spell it like Toni, then it's a girls.....lol.....maybe thats the reason....

Me too. Japanese names have a certain kind of sond to them that is like music. The way you say it in different tones is like music. Haha. I must be rambling. I agree Japanese names are beautiful the meaning behind the names are very meaningful if you get what I mean. I love all Japanese name except for some strange reason I do not like the name Sakura. Must be influenced from Naruto cause I do not really like Sakura. Haha but I do like the flower.

Hi! I'm new!

I love japanese names, but I think, they have to fit to persons. If I live in Germany, and I will have a german wife, then in my opinion the baby couldn't get a japanese name, it should have a nordic name. I don't like it that here in Germany the people use so many exotic names, because the baby later perhaps doesn't like to have such an exotic name, and has to live with the name or has to change it.

But beside this some japanese favourite names are: Aoi, Aiko, Kyoko, Miyuki, Sakura and many more. :p
