Help[Opinions] Re: If you had to give your child a Japanese name, which would you choose?
in reply to a message by BBH
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. ;-)
