Hairstyles and outfits included I hope. Start here: Baby clothes should be awesome.DaughterOfZion wrote: Back on topic, it isn't Japanese per say, but if I ever had two children and they were both boys I would totally name one Dio and the other Jonathan and see what happens. Or maybe Jotaro and Kakyoin if it had to be Japanese for some weird reason.

As for Japanese names I always thought Riku was an awesome name for a boy, turns out one of the cool ladies on here named her son that ^_^! Kudos to Yuki-Anne on that one, I love it!
So yeah I love the sound of Ken, Sakura or Hinata. they sound beautiful and I research their meaning. Ken means Fish

Anirac wrote:My name is Carina Harumi (and my husband's family name is French), a most interesting mix: Italian, Japanese, French, all in one name. I look Japanese, but not quite the stereotype. I have traits of Okinawan people: wavy hair, tan skin, round eyes. What do you people think of my name? Do you find the choice is justified, since I am 100% Japanese, but born and raised in Brazil? Do you think I should have been named a more "Brazilian" name, such as Jaci, or Iracema?
My future daughter will be named Rose. I love roses. My husband always gives me roses. And her Japanese name will be the season she was born in. The kanji for my name Harumi mean "spring"and "beauty". I was born in spring. My Italian name means "dearest". Dearest spring beauty. My name is a compliment in itself. So why should I not name my child the same way? Such poetry for a name beats titles of nobility.
We name children after people or things we admire. Why should your admiration be seen as disrespect or offence? I find it's racist to think a white person cannot have a Japanese name. Are Japanese so superior that their language cannot be used as names for golden-haired, blue-eyed children? Or were they so deeply wounded by WWII that this would be seen as cultural appropriation? I think not. Or else they would have made a bigger fuss about sushi, karate, and aikido. My Italian friends never frowned at their language being used to baptise a Japanese girl. In fact, they smiled when my name was a word they knew well. "Cara Carina" was the pun they adopted for my nickname.
You might fear being labelled Japanese wannabes, but what is wrong with incorporating a culture that you love and admire? You can name your elvish-looking or deeply tanned child Sakura and I will not frown upon it; chances are there is some kokeshi-looking girl in Japan named Mary, Joan, Sarah.
Name your child whatever you want. Offence is in the heart of the offended.
