Re: Can you comment on these feminine Japanese names?
Neori is very cute, never heard of it.Meisa is pretty, not common.Akise sounds kind of old-fashioned. Parents do t use the -se suffix that much anymore. They use -yo instead..but that seems to be going out if style as well. Other than that, Akise is a treasure. It also sounds masculine, like Akisei (in the same fashion as Kousei, Kyousei, Ryusei, etc.)Deisu sounds really made up, and the kanji for it is uncommon. Good for a fictional character.Terurei sounds like a masculine name. Reiteru is the better order, it doesn't mess with the tongue. But it's even more masculine in that order. (Akiteru Yoshiteru, etc.)Kamiyo is also old-fashioned and adorable.Sekai..I've heard this name. It's not popular but it's not weird. It's okay.Migiwa is super dated. And yet it's new to me. It would be good for a wise grandmother, or a classic maiden.Oyuki..I prefer Yuki but it ain't bad Makiko: cute.Retsuka: I prefer Ritsuka. I don't like the "ret" part, even if it's supposed to be reh-tsoo and not reht-soo.Ayaki is a tomboyish but beautiful name (it's unisex I believe).Rakuo sounds rough.Rushio is adorable.Misao is cool. Definitely modern in comparison to the others.Kakumo is rough but strong. Strangely attractive.Tenchi is another outdated treasure.Kurori is hard on my mouth.
