What are some pretty female Japanese names?

Question

Do you think 'Sana' or 'Kaori' is pretty?

Answer 1

I like Kaori too. Other names I have in my collection of favorite Japanese names are Ayumi, Izumi, Hotaru, Ayame, Natsumi, Kasumi, Mai, Hikari, Tsukiko, Setsuko, Miyako, Shiori (yeah, the name I use), and Mizuki. Those are ones I've been able to find meanings for. There are a few others I like (Saori, Naruha, Kiyomi) that I like the sound of but haven't been able to find any meaning for.  

Answer 2

yeah I think those are pretty I like Kaori

I also like Yuuki, Miku, & Yumi

Answer 3

I don't particularly favor "Sana" all that much, but "Kaori" is alright in my opinion.

I used to hate my name, "Naomi", because it was so uncommon in the US and almost no one could spell it right, but I appreciate it now.

A lot of people seem to like the name "Amaya" meaning "night rain".  

I usually prefer names that have a "ko" at the end, but I think "Mikoto" and "Suzume" are extremely beautiful names as well.  I don't really believe in a girl's name ending with "a" in Japanese [no offense].  

Hotaru, meaning "firefly" seems to be pretty popular along with seasonal names [such as "Akiko", "Fuyuko", "Natsumi", "Natsuko", "Haruka", "Haruko", "Harumi"]

There are also a lot of English/American names translittered to Japanese, like "Anna" became "Ana" [or something to the extent] or "Mary" to "Mari" or "Meri", "Amy" is "Emi" [which also has a meaning by itself, so it goes either way as a pure Japanese name or a mixed name].

I think names ending with "ri" sound nice too.  

Answer 4

i like kaori.

keiko is pretty, and so it kumiko or akiko.

i have a thing for japanese names with 'k' in them.

Answer 6

Sana, Kaori are both not too bad.

Mimi, Mayumi, Ami, Yumi, Kumi, Naomi, Kimi are also very popular these are all from beauty.

Nana, Kana, Rena are like Sana from vegitable in a sense pretty too but Ana is not good because it is meant to be "hole"  in Japanese, oh NO!

Kaori means scent.

Asuka, Mika, Ayaka, Rika, Sayaka, Maika, Reika, Erika are also fine.

Nene, Miho, Jyun, Ai, Megumi, Kiko, Saya, Aya, Shizuka, Sachi and many more I still can quote endlessly.
