Let me also add that there are 2 surveys conducted by Benesse and Meiji Yasuda Life every year to determine which name was the most popular. In terms of sound, Benesse puts Haruka (girl) at 17th place while Meiji Yasuda Life puts Haruka (girl) at 16th. Since Japan doesn't have an official popularity list, the data that I put up on BTN should not be used as pure evidence of which names are currently popular.

As noted above, the civilian form of Sailoruranus from Takeuchi Naoko's Sailormoon is Tenou Haruka; (surnames presented first per custom). This character is known as Amara Tenoh in the English dub and was made the cousin of Michelle Kaioh (Kaiou Michiru aka Sailorneptune); they were actually lovers. The final season (Stars) was not dubbed partially because the North American studios couldn't figure out what to do to hide their obviously romantic involvement (they die reaching for each other!) and also, the Starlights who alternated between male and female. Gender freaks us out over here for some reason...
Haruka's gender identity never was really clarified... because of this, I see this name as more masculine but I like it in general!
