Thank you for your response! I was just experimenting with some forename-surname combinations. Also, what do you think of the kanji I used for each of the forenames?

The kanji looks alright, I might change a few to less common usages (or maybe katakana), but that's just personal preference.I like both 飛鳥 and 朝日 for AsukaFor Rin I like 李 or 鈴 for females and 梨 or 燐 for malesMegumi I prefer 恵 even if it's obvious I like the meaningHikaru I would leave as is because of how iconic it is
