Re: Opinions on less-known Japanese names
in reply to a message by m4yb3_daijirou
BOYS:
Ryōta (陵太) - really like the sound and look of this one, but the meaning is a bit grim, althogh it's perhaps meant to be an "important" or grand name
Kippei (桔平) - don't like the look/sound, but do like the meaning
Miyabi (雅) - nice meaning, but reminds me too much of Mr. Miyagi
Shuntarō (駿太郎)-nice sound/loook, pretty neat meaning
Tetsuya (徹也) - okay, but reminds me too much of Tetsuyo in the manga Akira for my comfort
Fumiya (文哉) - like the meaning, but it sounds a bit feminine to me
Kōsuke (康祐) - love this one, sound look and meaning
Yūya (佑弥) - nice meaning, but again seems more feminine
Naotarō (直太郎) - nice
Sōtarō (颯太郎) - nice, like the meaning a lot
Eiji (瑛士) - cool
GIRLS:
Niko (にこ) - I associate this most with the boy's nickname, but it makes a lovely Japanese girls' name for sure
Yūka (結花)- this one's okay, nice meaning
Nana (七菜) - not my favorite
Airi (あいり)- the meaning wouldn't show up on the website, but i like the sound/look
Kureha (紅葉) - like everything, but does remind me of a boys' name a little
Shion (紫音) - like the meaning, but not as much a fan of the sound
Reika (麗華) - beautiful meaning and really like it
Ai (亜依) - not as much my favorite, like is more as a nickname for other names like Aiko, etc.
Saki (沙季)- nice meaning, but not my favorite
Mizuki (瑞稀)
Mika (実花)

The reason the characters for Airi doesn't show up in the kanji section is the fact that they are hiragana characters (in other words, they're phonetic characters).
