Not sure if you guys know but names that end in "maru" you should know right away that it is a male's name.

Names that end in "ko" are female's names.

Girl's names:
Sayuri
Chiyo
Chihiro
Kotori
Tokine
Kyoko

there's so many more, but I am tired right now, can't think too well.

I like the name Toshio.

Kind of on-topic.

What do you think of someone who isn't Japanese choosing a Japanese name, to have legally? Would that be disrespectful?

No, it is just a name. If I was Japanese and had a kid, I think I would name him Jonny just for fun.

My favorites,
girls-Akiko, Ayako, and Yoshie
boys-Kyohei, Kenta, and Taira

It's in Chinese or a few idioms in archaic Japanese.
Rin(凛) means dignified in the present Japanese. or uses other kanji for rin.

shinella 06-11-2007 01:51 PM

shyou if boy and arisa if girl...how about that

Suki 06-13-2007 05:11 PM

Sasuke, for some reason I find it sweet and that's why I named my dog like this., altough no Japanese would name their son like that cause, as I was told, it used to be a popular "samurai" name but it's forgotten nowadays. ^^

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.
