Help[Opinions] Re: Your favorite Japanese names?
in reply to a message by Lily
I was in Japan a couple summers ago, and I remember my host family telling me that Ai is really popular.
I always liked Aiko, Akiko, etc. but I've heard that -ko names aren't in style anymore.
I also like:
(*= I've met someone named this)
Sakura
Haruko
*Yuka (Yuuka) (teenager)
*Satoko (20s)
*Makiko (30s?)
*Kaoru (...teacher age :P)
Hana
Kaede
Suzume
*Keiko (20s. I don't think she's Japanese though. Maybe partially)
*Noriko (40's or 50's)
Midori
Sayuri
Yuki
Akio
*Taishi (about 5 now- teacher's kid)
Haruto
Taro (Tarou) (this is a really old name, common for characters in old stories etc.)
Kaito
Kenji
Kenta
Ryuu
Takeshi
Taichi (but I'd use "chi" as in "spirit" instead of "ichi" as in "one" like it says on this site. The kanji for big can be "ta" or "tai", so that + chi can still be pronounced Taichi.)
