For the sake of international flair we gave one son an Italian name and the other a Japanese name. The oldest is named Mario and the youngest is named Yoshi. -

Don't give your child a Japanese name unless you know the language and can pick the name from a Japanese baby name book (and you can pronounce the name correctly). Most of the names listed here are not really names, they are words, and many of them do not have correct meanings listed. If you want an International-sounding name, that will be appropriate in both Japanese and English, consider: Girls: Naomi, Erika, Risa (Lisa), Rina (Lina), Arisa (Alyssa), Maria, Mari (Mary/Marie). Such names are increasingly popular in Japan these days. And it saves the problem of having a girl named Sakura always being called Sackerra in America. Boys: Ken is the only one I can think of that works in both languages. Dan works well in Japanese, but is not a Japanese name. Rick/Riku works as well. Choosing a Japanese name is complicated, and many parents will make up their own name. Choose the characters for it very carefully.

While those are some nice names, a lot of them are not actually names, they are words. Rei and Sen and Ken are good names, though. Try these names: Kisa (for girls) - Kee-sah Nabiki (for girls) - Nah-bee-kee Ayumi (for girls) - Aye-ooh-mee Arisa (for girls) - Ah-ree-sah Keiko (for girls) - Kay-koh Hiroshi (for boys) - Hee-roh-shee Amon (for boys) - Ay-mohn (my name) Akito (for boys) - Ah-kee-toh Masa (for boys) - Mah-saa Toshio (for boys) - Toh-shee-oh

For girls, the name Naomi is a good name that is found in BOTH Japanese and English. For boys, the name Ken is both a Japanese and English name.
