Names from the imperial Japanese family - WDYT?
The emperor: Akihito
The empress: Michiko
The crown prince: Naruhito
The crown princess: Masako
Their daughter: Aiko
The emperor's second son: Akishino
His wife: Kiko
Their daughters: Mako and Kako
The emperor's daughter: Sayako
Does it not seem like every female name MUST end in -ko?
"You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

Well even more striking to me wasnt that every female name ended in Ko but that every name ended in O
But then many Japanese names seem to end in O
Edited to add I wonder when they will announce the name of the new Prince

The Prince's name...
... will be announced in seven days, after an official naming ceremony.

I knew it would be a while before it was announced for some reason I thought it was even longer than a week
