Wow, -ko names were really popular back then huh? They're not my favorite but I like Miyoko and Sumiko. I prefer Shizuka or Shizuku to Shizuko.

Masako and Toshiko sound too masculine for me.

Not just back then! I had a number of friends who were exchange students from Japan in the early 2000s and their names also ended in -ko.

Yeah -ko names had a veryyy long grip on the country, it seems like. Only recently have they fallen out of style.

Yeah, I was looking at older threads and it seems -ko names are very dated in Japan. I had no idea.
