HelpCan a Chinese person use a Japanese name?
For context, me and my wife are both Chinese. We are expecting a baby boy in June. Our current top pick for a name is Arata. We like the meaning and way it sounds. It also pays homage to one of her favourite authors.
I’ve seen some discussion online of non Japanese people using Japanese names, but couldn’t find anything conclusive. Would it be insensitive or cultural appropriation for us to use Arata?
If yes, what are some alternatives names we could use?
