My first thought is *yawn*... 90s trendy preppy name, but it's not horrible, so you could shortlist it and if the baby's born and it's still the only name you can agree on, it may be the one to go w/.

Here are some more possiblities to play w/ either to pair it w/ or replace it:

I've finally moved the Jpns. names all to the bottom w/ the overlap ones that work in both languages at the place where the 2 categories meet (and have given them kanji). Due to the many kanji possibilities for some names, the ones in the BtN database are limited and some don't incl. the possibilities I have listed. The kanji meanings will also differ from western meanings for names that work for both.
If you wish to paruse the Jpns. names, the vowel pns. might be dif. than you'd automatically use in En., so here are some hints:
Vowel prn. guide:
a= a like want
i= ee like in Maxine
u= like in flute
e= eh or ay like in meh or in eight.
o= o like in opal
ai= I like in eye
ei= ay or ay-ee
ou= long o sound
ae= I like in eye
Y is ALWAYS a consonant and westerners constantly butcher the prn. of Tokyo and Kyoto as if they should be Tokiyo and Kiyoto.

---

For other special ones, I'll give hints.
