I've read loads of Geisha books (most take place 1920-1980 so the names can still be used - and they're not just all from Memoirs of a Geisha, I only have like...4 names from that book) so that's the only source I've got on Japanese names...

Sorry I don't know meanings! I didn't want to look them up on baby name sites because those are so unreliable... but some seem to be on BtN - I'd go with those!
