Yesterday my mom and I were talking about my Opa's U.S military service back in WW2. He was stationed in Japan, which I had known previously, but I didn't know that a Japanese girl had fallen in love with him. Long story short, the girl's name was Mitsiko (pronounced Mih-TSEE-koh). I'm pretty sure this isn't a Japanese name because the Japanese don't have a 'Tsee' sound, but my mom swears it is. Apparently in collage my mom also had a half Japanese friend who's mother's name was Mitsiko who told her that it was a very common name.
Is this an actual name, or just a mispronunciation of
Mitsuko?
