ArchivesRe: dawn
in reply to a message by gunblade007
Do you mean Dawn, the English word, or the Japanese word for dawn?
Hide, which is a common element in Japanese names, can mean sunrise or dawn. Asa (morning) is also used in names.

No, Swan wouldn't work in Japanese. It isn't possible to have an S followed directly by a W.

The closest I can think is a name with the narrow "o" sound, but you wouldn't find the combination of letters of "shawn" in any Japanese word, the language just doesn't work that way. Actually, Shawn, Dawn and Swan would be sort of difficult to pronounce exactly for a Japanese.

ok murasaki
ok murasaki do you know any popular female japanese names that has a narrow ''O'' sound. i was also thinking maybe japanese names that has ''AW'' or ''WA'' or ''AN'' that begins with a ''S''

There are websites with the 100 most popular names in Japan by year, but they are in Japanese. I've looked at them and none of the girl's names sound like "Shawn." I can assure you that there has never been a popular Japanese girl's name that sounds like Shawn, Swan, or Dawn.
About the closest one can get is Shion, which is pronounced "shee-own."
Please excuse my being rude, but since you've posted repeatedly about a Japanese girl you met whose name sounded like Shawn, are you absolutely sure that this individual you met was Japanese and not some other nationality? If she was definitely Japanese, do you have reason to believe her name is popular in Japan or could it be a rare name? Could it be an English name that she was using in place of her Japanese name?

well claudiaS,
i know i'm driving everyone crazy here. but the reason i keep asking for popular japanese girl names is i'm looking for this japanese girl i met who use to work at this japanese restaurant in my mall. i only talk to her twice but i could tell she like me too. the last time i saw her was sometime in the early months of this year. but she told me her name. but i didn't write it down. i try talking to a guy who work there but he doesn't remember her he said mostly vietnamese and chinese work there but i'm not sure if she's sstill in west virginia or not. she was from japan.by the way murasaki when you said narrow ''0'' did you mean ooooo (uoooo)
or as in oooooohh ?

well claudiaS,
i went to the mall monday afternoon and talk to the guy at the restaurant and he said they did have someone who was japanese working with them and he thinks she going to a local college. he told me her name but he didn't really know how to spell it. but it sound like he thought it might be spell tuy. but the name sound like tree or three or maybe tray or tweet like what a bird makes.

Here's a short list of popular Japanese first names for boys and girls, including the five most popular names for children born in 2000. How about Sakura? (pron. Sa - koo- ra - means 'cherry blossom') At least it starts with the right letter :)
