Japanese names for non-Japanese Children
How do you feel about American families with no Asian heritage naming their children Japanese names? To be honest, I’m a little sketchy about it myself. However, I really like a couple Japanese names!
Especially because several of them have multi-backgrounds and meanings.Here are the ones that I like,Hana - means "flower" - also means "bliss" in Arabic - and is a form of Hannah.
Ai - means "love" is many Asian languages.
Ken - means "strong" - but can also be a nickname for Kenneth.
Sora - means "sky"So WDYT?
