What are your favorites? I just went through translating the top 10 lists for every year from 1912 to 2016 :P I found some really nice ones :) Is here anyone who can speak Japanese :D ?

I prefer simple Japanese names such as:

---

Hana
Saki
Haru
Aiko
Ai
Mai
Chiyo
Emi
Aya
Mika

---

but I also love:

---

Naomi
Sachiko (this was common for an incredibly long time in Japan!)
Sakura
Haruna
Chihiro
Chinatsu
Kumiko
Emiko

---

Oh and I was so surprised not too find Akiko more often on the list, pretty much half of the Japanese girls I know are named Akiko :P So I expected it to be really high up in the 80s but it wasn't there at all instead it made the top 10 in the 40s.
