Japanese names (since it seems to be on the board today)
Considering all the asian names on the board today can anyone recommend me a sight with some nice japanese words/names that are maybe a bit unusual even in japan - but pretty? And how to make up a japanese name with an interesting Kanji meaning? Do japanese parents make up names or do they pick names that are traditional, or a bit of both?

but they are Japanese, mostly kanji.
