Xue. I can't pronounce it properly at all, but to hear it spoken by a Chinese speaker, it's so gorgeous. And the meaning is nice.

Japanese - Airi; I saw a little girl in one of my daughter's classes with this name and I'm pretty sure her family was Japanese and not Finnish.

My favorite Japanese name is Chihiro. I also really like Akemi, Sakura, Noa and Aki. Chiyo is nice too. I like Mei, Meiya and Liya (Chinese). Meiya and Liya are combined (Li and Ya, Mei and Ya) Ya was my name in Chinese class so it's honoring me ;)

My friend's mn is Wan-Qing ("wahn-ching"). She says it means "forever young." She used it as her dd's mn too. :-)

I've also liked Midori for a girl, using it in a stock combination: Vivien Midor. I wish Midori wasn't also a brand of liquor because it's so pretty as a girl's name. (*sigh*)
