Re: Does Akane mean Scarlet or Deep red?
I think the opposite is true. Most people think that Japanese parents are super creative and use all kinds of spelling variants when this is often not the case at all. Of course you will find many many spellings but except for the 1-4 (depending on the name) most common ones the others are very often only used by very few people and I don't think it makes a lot of sense to list them all on this website, for example, because it's just confusing and kind of irrelevant if there are only 5 people in Japan with that spelling.But for namenerds, like me, it is super interesting. But I wouldn't recommend it for this website because people are less likely to read the entry and end up confusedBut yes, it is interesting to see these variants, thanks for posting them!Also, it is interesting that some names are spelled certain ways in anime (with more unusual meanings). For example Aya is often spelled as "colours" or "design" but in an anime I saw it spelled as "bewitching". It is so interesting.Please rate my list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/6232
