Q: Naming a Half-japanese Baby Girl
asked by: hkokoros on February 4th, 2007

Hi! I´m expecting my first baby girl, but I am unsure about the name! Me and my husband are half-canadian and half-japanese. I have a japanese middle name. I suffered a lot when I was young because people made fun of my japanese name and my sister too(my name is helene kokoro and my sister is maria kayano) so I am unsure if I should give a japanese middle name for her, but I want her to be proud of her culture. My husband likes a english name and a japanese middle name, or a middle name that works for both countries. I´m thinking about iori (five fabrics), sakuya (blooming generation), suzua (love bell), mami (true beauty), sua (love child (different spelling of aiko). For first names I like: kaylynn, erica, may, emily, cheryl, christina. The child surname will be satou-kavanagh.

Thanks!

I think now a days too people are used to "different" names so I don't think your daughter will get teased the way your sis did.

I like ant's suggestion, I also like kayleen iori. Sounds so pretty.

My daughter has a .Japanese middle name. Although my husband and I are both white, we both love .Japanese culture. I also have a full-blooded .Japanese aunt, so we wanted our child's name to reflect our love and respect for .Japan. My husband chose .Kaida, which is a female name meaning "little dragon". Our daughter is a firecracker, so it ended up suiting her well! Wink

i agree with the other posts that it's unlikely your child will be teased much now. People, young and older alike, are getting used to things being unique. Originality is the new "normal". Good luck!

What about Amaya? I believe in Japanese it means "night rain"...I always thought it was such a pretty name, and a cool meaning! Smile
