KimikoYep, I had to go and make it even.No, really Kimiko is one of my favorite Japanese names and I don't really care for Aiko.

Aiko!It's one of my favorites. It's simple and sort of youthful. I also like a few other "-ko" names, like Akiko and Keiko, but not Kimiko. I think it reminds me too much of Kim / Kimi / Kimmy / etc., but I also just prefer Aiko because of the prevalence of vowels.

For me, the moment you tack ko on a name, it sounds older and more mature-sounding or dated, depending on the name... prob'ly because my Jpns. name experience is based on the current pattern in Japan... Though Aiko is more likely to be used on a young child these days than Kimiko. Princess Aiko prob'ly helped influence that somewhat.

AikoAiko for me."Kim-" names are not my cup of tea in general, though. I don't know, this sound... it's just not for me.
