Awesome, but is there a translation available? I'd love to see them.

I love that they have the readings written beside them in hiragana... Wish they held the form better as far as the way they're set up... I'm kind of unsure what the deal is with the different columns... It's kinda weird... but I'll take the hiragana and put it into romaji for ya.
Y is NEVER a vowel
R is actually somewhere between r and l
F is made w/ both lips rather than lower lip and teeth
Jpns. H is done at the front of the mouth rather than back and with lips closer together
suke- skay
A- ah
i- ee
u- oo
e- ay or eh
o- o
ei- ay or ay-ee
ou- o held longer

Thank you this is so cool! And you should definitely share it, I always wondered which names were really popular in Japan but never found a good list. I think many people would love it, on this board as well.
I have holidays at the moment so tomorrow I'll have time to really go through it, Japanese names are so interesting. I love how you can spell a name different ways to get different meanings.
I also think Sora sounds girly. Doesn't it mean "sky"? I find Sky girly as well. My sister used to love anime, and I think there was a character named this.

Sorry, I meant if there was an English translation as in Shota (the first name) and Yuuki, I can't see any translation for the other names :( Maybe it's my computer? I can't read Japanese.

I went back onto it (after looking at the site again) and typed some of the names out in romaji (roman letters) and then gave you a Jpns. pronunciation guide and the hiragana pronunciations of things so you can look at them and read them yourself... btw... The list is of boys' names. I'd do them all, but 1000 could be VERY time consuming and I really should be in bed by now.
