[Opinions] Re: Japanese names
in reply to a message by clara
I love some Japanese names, too. My favorite for girls is Akemi. I also like Aiko, Aimi, and Rika.
The problem is that the 'k' in many Japanese names does seem striking and, well, foreign. I'd go for something more 'European'-sounding. Aimi could be interpreted as a creative spelling of Amy... and Rika a clipped form of Fredrika/Henrika/Erika.
Evangeline makes a great mn.
Rika Evangeline?
Aimi/Amy Evangeline?
