What are some Japanese feminine given names that are especially appealing to you?
For example, what would you name your daughter if you had to give her a Japanese name?
>>16166559
>Help me name my MMO character
I like Makoto because it reminds me of tomboys
>>16166559
Any name that starts with Y is extremely cute to me
Mainly because there just aren't many languages with so many Y starting names
>>16166620
There's honestly not too many starting with Y that I like. What are some examples?
>>16166565
I'm actually trying to put together a Japanese feminine name power-ranking hierarchy according to my own personal tastes, for whatever reason. Also because I need more feminine Japanese names that I like for my characters in roguelikes where I die a lot.
>>16166620
This
And names that start with Yu- are especially cute
Haruko
Hinako
Mexico
>>16166627
Yui
Yumi
Yayoi
Yuuka
Frandle
My top 5:
Midori
Sakura
Natsumi
Yuki
Hanabi
Ones I like
Yayoi
Yuna
Akiko (and Makiko)
Moeko (and not just because it has Moe in it)
Sayaka (and not just because of Madoka)
Sadly, seems like a lot of the -ko names kind of have an old-lady feeling in Japan. Like Barbara or something in the US I guess.
>>16166559
Shinobu, to resonate with her character.
I really like names ending with -ko.
The best name is one that belongs to someone you love.
>>16169042
You are such a romantic, anon.
>>16166559
Ruri
Kurenai
Midori
Yukari
All pretty names based on various colorsthat are all going to be boy's names. I've seen them be used that way.
>>16167132
God Yumi is such an overused name. It's like the go-to name whenever people try to come up with something weeb sounding.
Fuck Sakura too while we're at it.
I have a very hard time struggling to disassociate the Japanese names I've learned from specific characters in media, so I feel as if I like or dislike them unjustly.
>>16167063
Haruko I like a lot. Similar are Haruka and Hanako.
>>16167132
I'm sorry, Y-anon, I just don't like these. I feel like all of these become better with a different initial sound, like "Yumi" to "Ayumi". I think I like the name "Yuri" but not it's connotation.
>>16168618
I can't tell if I prefer Natsuko to Natsumi.
>>16168618
>>16169374
Midori is basically my favorite, I keep thinking back to it.
I'd just go with Mai.
>>16169374
>Ruri

Kana, Aoi, Yukina, Aya, Komugi are my favorite five that I can think of
>>16166559
I like Mai, Yuri, Himeyuri, Asuka, Sakuya, and Suiseki.
No one likes Hikari?
Nadeshiko
Koharu
Risa
Kyoko
Ayame
>>16170130
>Nadeshiko
撫で撫で、しっこしっこ
>>16169865
>Shizuka, Saya
These are great, and high on my list.
Cumiko
>>16166559
"Tenshi" sounds beautiful to me.
>>16166559
Reiko
Renge
Nene
Suika
Suzuka
Nana
These are the best names
>>16170669
>tienshi

Hiiragi is really cute and also works as a surname. It's not gender specific, though. It's just very pleasant to say.
Opi
Isa
Gei
hahahahaha i'm laughing
>>16166559
>For example, what would you name your daughter if you had to give her a Japanese name?
I'm partial to MafuyuBecause my name is Matthew
>>16174407

>>16174432
Don't be so gay Matthew.
>>16174432
Yeah Matthew don't be so gay.
>>16169399
Rude. Yumi is a nice name that's why people use it a lot.
>>16169800
>I think I like the name "Yuri" but not it's connotation.
What's wrong with lily flowers?
>>16174432

>>16174458

>>16166627
Yoko.
Not Y, but Hikari is a nice name, too.
Minako.
Naoko, Midori, Reiko
>>16166559
I honestly like the Japanese first name Ikki, don't know why. Can't see me naming a child that though
>>16167063
one of these is not like the other
美咲
Seo-yeon
Min-seo
Ji-woo
>>16174432
Only faggots and sailors are called Matthew.
>>16168797
Because -ko suffixes in japanes means female.
>>16185035
True, but you don't see them so much nowadays whereas in the 60s every girl had a name ending in -ko.
Yukari
Reika
Haruhi
Haruki
Kazuki
Momoka
Paizuri
Hana
Kana
Suika
Saya
Aya
Kaguya
>>16166559
Mei
>>16184808
That with the reading "Misaki", I'm assuming.
I prefer it written as 岬 for some reason, but probably just because of Welcome to the NHK.
>>16185083
Those are just 2hu/anime names.
>>16184911
Korean names are so ugly, holy shit. Koreans look ugly as fuck too, and when they try to fix it with a shit ton of surgeries they end up looking as if they were made of plastic afterwards. Their language sounds like shit too.
I'm glad that Japan is the one Asian country that ended up making the content we love, I'm sure I wouldn't be a weeb if the shithole that is South Korea was in Japan's place.
>>16186877
>koreans are bad
You have really bad taste. Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans, and Chinese are all fine.
Makoto(誠) = sincerity
Makoto(真) = truth
Haruko(春子) = Spring
Haruko(晴子) = Sunny
Hina = chick
Haruka(春香)
Haru(春)= spring
Ka(香)kaori= Incense
Haruka(遙 , 遥) = far
Yui(結) = tie , connect
Yui(唯) = Sole
Yui(由比) = Name of the place(Yuigahama kanagawa-kamakura) (Beach)
Kozue
>>16191350
>春子
>春香
I love these spellings.
This post reminded me of some spellings that I personally like a lot for their meaning and aesthetics.
明美 (Akemi): dawning beauty/bright and beautiful
早夜 (Saya): early night
愛姫 (Ehime): love princess
美香利 (Mikari): beautiful, fragrant and sharp
帆之香 (Honoka): fragrance of the sail
花野子 (Kanoko): flower field child
>>16166559
Something that has my favorite kanji in it probably.
Like 桜 or 雪 but then again they are probably common as fuck.
>>16169885
>No one has said Reimu yet.
>jp has changed..
No one has posted the Reimu birth certificate yet.
jp has chang'ed.
>>16191389
Top-tier taste. My first Japanese teacher was named this so I have a personal attachment to it, but it's always been a favorite.
>>16169959
Hikari's a great name IMO. So are a bunch of other names starting with H-
Homura
Hatsuna
Honoka
Himeko
Hitomi
>>16166627
I like Yukari.
>>16166672
Whoever drew that messed up with the perspective/foreshortening whatever the fuck it is because those are yaoi-hands.
>>16192709
Because it's fake you fucking retard.
>>16193547
Calm the fuck down, anon. He couldn't have known that unless he had looked it up himself or had already seen that picture.
>>16193698
Because its always been fake, and has been proven for years. That's the privilege of being the first person to spout dumb shit is that all the other dumb shitheads will latch onto it because it was first and ignore anything afterwards. Reposting the same garbage year after year despite being told otherwise.
>>16193710
We're all anon, you can't exactly tell whether or not this is true. The person/people posting it could simply have seen it on another board or elsewhere and not been around /jp/ long enough to know it was fake.
I want to name my girl Tomoko
>>16185083
>Paizuri
>>16193547
>>16193710
Why are you so defensive over this?
>>16169800
What's wrong with "Yuri"?
>>16174407

Teriyaki
