Japanese names are quite intersting and meaningfull
 

Most of there names mean something in their native langue. Koreans, Chinese and Native Americans have similar practices.
For example

Taro=first born
Jiro=second born
Akemi Beauty of dawn
Akihiko=Bright
Ryuu=Dragon
Yuuda=Hero + great

Girls.
Usagi=rabbit
Mizuki= tree of water (literally, water tree)

Hi there! I am wondering how is my name written in japanese language. Gabi Soare ( it means the sun :) )

Sorry for my little offtopic. (I used search button)

Names of foreigners are written in Katakana. Soare is ソアレ
Gabi maybe ギャビ or ガビ.depends on how to pronounce.
So,your name is written ギャビ･ソアレ or ガビ･ソアレ in Japanese.

The sun=太陽（taiyou)

The complexity of deciding on names in Japan seems so much greater than that in Western countries. Westerners generally just go with the sound of the name, while in Japan there seem to be so many other things to consider. Can someone tell me what are the important things to consider when choosing a name in Japan?

We named our little girl Kei. Works well both in English and Japanese.

My fiance's middle name is Toshiro.. if we have a boy his name will be Toshiro (Toshi for short) James Matsuda.
