Re: Japanese names for non-Japanese Children
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
Yup these were the same thoughts I was having.
Most people can usually say my great-great-so-and-so was half Welsh, so we can get away with a Welsh name. It would be much tougher thinking of an excuse with a Japanese name besides "I love the culture."
I do like the pronouncation of HAH-nah instead of Hann-UH, it flows better and sounds niced, I think. I also agree the R is kind of tricky to say correctly! And unfortunately, Ai is the one name out of the list I like the most, but know it's practically unusable outside of Asian countries.
Oh well! :)
