ArchivesJapanese names...
Hello, I stumbled across this site and realized that there aren't many entries in the Japanese name meanings section. I'm an American who speaks Japanese, and I love Japanese names! I just wanted to put some personal favourites here that weren't on the list. Of course, all of the meanings depend on the kanji used, but I love names that are creative with their kanji and turn a normal name into something cool! Most of these are made-up names that band members use, so they're really fun! Enjoy!
Shinya m/f
Means "deep night"
Mayo m/f
Means "true night"
Wataru m
Means "cross (over)"
Yuusuke m
This one has a billion different meanings, but the one I like best is "gentle care"
Riku m
Means "kill"
Jun m
Means "pure"
Setsuki (probably) f
Means "snow rare"
Kaoru m/f
Means "sweet fragrance"
Hayato (probably) m
Means "falcon person"
Satsuki (probably) m/f
Means "sand moon"
Shinya m/f
Means "deep night"
Mayo m/f

Wataru m

Re-read the original post . . .
She said "most of these are made-up names that band members use". Most people with no knowledge of Japanese would have to take her word for it.

Yes, and it seems quite likely from the original post that the kanji being used by the band members may be very rare forms in Japan itself, so these names may have very different "meanings" from the ones given in the post.
