ArchivesJapanese Baby Name Rankings
Hey guys !
Ive been trying to look at the name rankings of baby names in Japan outside the top 100 but it's been very difficult. The main reason is because I don't speak Japanese. Does anybody know any translated English websites that have Japanese name rankings. Or better yet, Is anybody willing to post the rankings here?

I would like to know this as well! I've been using namae-yurai.net to gage trends, but it only lists names popular to the site users, and only up to 100. It seems to closely match the general population trends, but still. If you find one I'd be happy to try and transcribe it!

Thank you for the kind offer Higuma! While it's not related to transcription, I do have a question for you though. Is Ame an established and common name in Japan?
Really enjoyed the song btw.

I think it's seen some usage but it's not very common. I don't think it would raise eyebrows but it's a little rare. That's my impression at least.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Might I also recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goU1Ei8I8uk :)

The only website that I know of that lists baby name rankings (https://www.meijiyasuda.co.jp/sp/enjoy/ranking/) only includes the top 100, and it's not an official compilation of all names used in Japan per year, just a sampling. Does anyone know of a more comprehensive site?
