Help[Opinions] If you had to give your child a Japanese name, which would you choose?
I think I'd go with:
Umeko (girl) ...love that name!
Ichiro (boy)
Umeko (girl) ...love that name!
Ichiro (boy)

I think Aiko... And I don't care if it means love child... I think it's lovely

it's more like child of love, there's nothing derogatory in it

"ai" mean love and "ko" means child, but it's possible that it means shild of love... However I don't think it's derogatory, I've just heard quite a few people saying they dislike it because of it means "love child"

So, you equate a child conceived out of love to be a bastard then? How compassionate and forward-thinking.

Oh no! Absolutely not! I would never say that and I absolutely don't consider a child conceived out of love to be a bastard. What I meant was, that I have heard people say they don't like the name becuase it means "love child", they didn't like the name because what it means. I don't think it's anything wrong with the name or the meaning. I just really like the name. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Japanese names aren't ones that have particularly struck a chord with me. I think some of them have a good sound but if I like one, it is likely because it accidentally coincides with another name I chose in a different context, if that makes sense.
My brother's girlfriend is Japanese and her name is Mami, for example. She has opted to go with a more English-familiar pronunciation and now says it to sound like Mamie. I love Mamie. And now Mami. :-)
I like Haruna in a similar way. Rightly or wrongly, it strikes me as seeming like a feminine variant of Harun, which I love. So it is Japanese and I do like it, but the latter isn't at all influenced by the former.
So long story short, I like Mami and Haruna but that is more or less my way of cheating at this question. ;-)
