I love the name Sachiko for a girl. It's adorable. Or Momo.

Oh, I love Japanese names. If I listed all the ones I like, we'd be here all day.

I actually did think about what I might name my children if I ever married a Japanese man, because my brain is random like that. I think it was sparked by the fact my Mother can't pronounce any Japanese to save her life. I stopped and went "If I lived in Japan and married a Japanese man, we'd have to name our kids something both sides of the family could pronounce."

I'm afraid not. That's an English name that comes from the precious stone that is often used in carvings.

The Japanese would pronounce that name "Jeido," I believe.

I like a lot of different names, and I tend to find new ones all the time.

I've always wondered though, if I gave a Japanese citizen the chance to give me a Japanese name, what name they would pick and what it would mean. If would feel more authentic coming from an actual Japanese citizen.
