Aki is Autumn. Haru is Spring.

And I should mention that the kanji for Aki can use the kanji for "Autumn" but usually doesn't. "Haruko" is usually spelled as "spring child" but there are other ways to write it.

I quite like Kaori (fragrance), but above noted Misa or Naomi are also good. Although it's still not completely clear to me, why would anybody give his child a Japanese name O_o

Some Japanese names I like:

Chii
Aoi
Hana
Rena
Sakura
Hachiko
Nana
Usagi
Akiko

... yeah. I might add more.

Eiko
Yumi
Kitsune
Mion
Rika

Thats all I can think of right now.

It's kinda bit odd for me, why not Japanese name? Is there something wrong with it? If so, then why should some of us - without any trace of Japanese blood are registered here in the japanforum and want to learn Japanese language, culture and the likes? Why d'you speak japanese, if you're not one? Is there any difference in it?

I am not sure what country you are from, but I have never heard of people naming their children a Japanese name who didn't have at least some Japanese blood. A dog or cat, sure, all the time, but never a baby. I am not saying it is wrong or right, just it seems unusual to me.

For a japanese, it is unusual to a foreigner have a japanese name.
I once met a boy, who was from america and he was dark. But his name was Makoto, it was very strange. Becouse I was learned that a foreigner name is usually John or Mark. Therefore I was suprised!

Some people just take names that they have heard from anime or something and believe them as Japanese names.

Usagi and Kitsune?

Those are names of animals!!

Please don't use anime or manga as sources for topics like this.

Just for the record, Akiko is rather old name and young people probably don't prefer this kind of name anymore.

Yeah, that's true. I don't think I would enjoy being named 'rabbit' or 'fox' ^__^
