Help[Facts] Re: Mitsuka
in reply to a message by thegriffon
Mitsuka isn't a common girl's name, possibly because it is also a surname, and surnames as first names are disallowed in Japan. This means that a child cannot have a given name written with a spelling that is in use as a surname, such as 観束 or 三塚.
It's not impossible for a kanji name to be read as almost anything, but people will assume that 光子 is Mitsuko, because 子 is such a common feminine name suffix and is almost always pronounced KO. 光子 as Mitsuka isn't just nonintuitive--many kanji name spellings are nonintuitive--it looks wrong.
