Re: Opinions on less-known Japanese names
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)
