I don't speak Japanese and have no connection to the culture either, so I wouldn't use them in real life. I'd stick to Russian, Spanish (my two majors in college) or unusual ones from my family tree, like Catrin Philena.

For a story, if it made sense for a name to be used because of the character, I would. I have a family of secondary characters named Mizuki, Ayaka, Daisuke and Midori. Do you know what any of them mean?

BTW- I think that Anne /an-ne/ would be called just Ann where I live, so that could be a turnoff to some people.
