[Opinions] Re: Japanese names
in reply to a message by Matthew 05
I'm sure some of them are, although I'm certainly not one to ask.
Anyway, here are my favorites based off my initial perceived pronunciation, or if I already familiar with them.
Ai (Although slightly hard to say and don't care for it, visually)
Arina (Although the site lists it as a Russian name, so...) Still nice though, though not as much as Irina and Ilena
Aya
Ayame (Also I think the similar name, Ayane is real lovely as well. I actually have a character named this)
Ayana
Hana (Possibly even better than the Western pronunciation of Hannah/Hanna)
Himari
Hina
Kotone
Maria: But what's the Japanese version? Can't find it.
Marina: Same thing
Miku
Mio (Although the company comes to mind. Mio water enhancer)
Mirei
Nanami
Reina
Runa (Not listed as Japanese though, FYI)
Sakura
Sara (Japanese version though?)
Satomi
Shiori
Sumire
Tomoe
Yui
Yuina
Yurina
I also like that aren't included: Yuna (The name of a major character of mine), Sachi and Karen (The Japanese version/pronunciation is soooo much better than the typical English one, and not just because of the meme.)
Edit: Toshirō as well.
