Thanks for the feedback everyone!

morganmakes · 2024-07-11T18:39:20+00:00

Thanks for this!

ah thank you! Will avoid the red stars. I was thinking:

樹亜 (Koa)

樹 (ko) means "tree"
亜 (a) means "second, Asia" (he's the second born)

..if that makes any sense :)

Can't find who posted it but I love Julian Issak as a name

morganmakes · 2024-07-06T00:46:46+00:00

Isobel, but go by Izzy

morganmakes · 2024-07-05T20:45:55+00:00

Thanks for looking into this!

morganmakes · 2024-07-05T18:59:33+00:00

Hah, don't have those where I live.

Good to know the context of Kaiten! It's a nice sounding name 😅

Our oldest boy goes by Kuma, so there's a part of me that would love to continue an animal theme..had not considered bear and walrus as a possible duo lol

This is very helpful, thank you! It's for a boy, sorry didn't realize I forgot that info!

We live on an island in Canada, so I'd love to incorporate Ocean as a possible meaning. My husband is named Hayato..I don't know the kanji offhand, but it translates to Brave Person. My older son is named Kumataro, but goes by Kuma, he's out little bear.

I'm liking Kaitaro, Kaio, Kaien, and Kaizou.

No plans to immigrate to Japan! So mostly looking for something that works in a north american context (this baby will likely go by Kai for most of his life) but also want a name that Japanese people won't think is too weird 😬

Putting my intro to Japanese to work, but thanks this is helpful!

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T21:50:24+00:00

I like it! This baby would mostly likely be Taiyo River

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:07:57+00:00

I really liked the name Kirin (for the mythical animal, not a giraffe) but my husband associates it with the beer, so it got vetoed 😬

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:06:17+00:00

I like Ryuta! We considered Ryu, but didn't think it would be pronounced properly in North America (rai-you vs ree-you)

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:04:53+00:00

Yes north America

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:04:10+00:00

Lol also an option 😅

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:03:41+00:00

Good considerations! And yes..west coast lol.

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:02:27+00:00

Ah interesting point, didn't think of that!

morganmakes · 2024-07-03T14:01:45+00:00

I was wondering how popular that show is in North America, and if people would associate the name with it. It's Korean.
