Favourite masculine name: Akira
Favourite feminine name: Mika
Akira has always felt simultaneously very physically strong and studious to me. Curiously enough, I think Kira sounds rather brutish for a girl, but Akira combines physical and mental strength. It also reminds me of Rabbi Akiva.
Mika sounds very cheerful, energetic, and slightly metallic. It reminds me of bubbling springs, foxes, and high-tech cities. It's also the stage name of one of my favourite pop singers, so it feels fun and camp-y to me, like his music.
Favourite meaning of masculine name: Hinata, "towards the sun" or "sunflower"
Favourite meaning of feminine name: Haruka, "distant", "remote", "clear weather", "spring".
Favourite spelling of masculine name: Hayate, 颯
Favourite spelling of feminine name: Aoi, 葵
All Japanese names I like:
Aina
Akira
Hideyoshi
Junpei
Kiyoko
Megumi
Mika
Naomi
Natsumi
Reina
Rina
Shin
Shion
Sora
Yoko
