I'm actually trying to put together a Japanese feminine name power-ranking hierarchy according to my own personal tastes, for whatever reason. Also because I need more feminine Japanese names that I like for my characters in roguelikes where I die a lot.

Ones I like

Yayoi
Yuna
Akiko (and Makiko)
Moeko (and not just because it has Moe in it)
Sayaka (and not just because of Madoka)

Sadly, seems like a lot of the -ko names kind of have an old-lady feeling in Japan. Like Barbara or something in the US I guess.

I have a very hard time struggling to disassociate the Japanese names I've learned from specific characters in media, so I feel as if I like or dislike them unjustly.

>>16167063
Haruko I like a lot. Similar are Haruka and Hanako.

>>16167132
I'm sorry, Y-anon, I just don't like these. I feel like all of these become better with a different initial sound, like "Yumi" to "Ayumi". I think I like the name "Yuri" but not it's connotation.

>>16168618

Korean names are so ugly, holy shit. Koreans look ugly as fuck too, and when they try to fix it with a shit ton of surgeries they end up looking as if they were made of plastic afterwards. Their language sounds like shit too.

I'm glad that Japan is the one Asian country that ended up making the content we love, I'm sure I wouldn't be a weeb if the shithole that is South Korea was in Japan's place.

明美 (Akemi): dawning beauty/bright and beautiful
早夜 (Saya): early night
愛姫 (Ehime): love princess
美香利 (Mikari): beautiful, fragrant and sharp
帆之香 (Honoka): fragrance of the sail
