	Behind the Name: Japanese Names
		Japanese given names are composed of one or more kanji (though a few are written in hiragana), meaning there are thousands of possible names.
		In the past, boys were sometimes given names indicating the order in which they were born, for example Ichiro "first son" and Jiro "second son".
		In girls' names, a common final Kanji was 子 ko meaning "child" (for example Akiko and Yoshiko), though this trend has faded in the last few decades.

	List of Japanese given names (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		There are two main varieties of Japanese names: those written using kanji (Chinese characters), and those using kana (either hiragana or katakana), the two phonetic syllabaries (note that in rare cases names will combine both kanji and kana).
		Addressing someone by name requires the use of the suffix -san (さん), meaning roughly "Mrs., Mr., Ms., Master, Miss, Mistress." This suffix is used with both surnames and given names, and failure to use it is called 呼び捨て (yobisute, literally "throwing away the name") and is considered exceedingly rude.
		A name written in kanji may have more than one common or correct pronunciation, only one of which is of course correct for a given individual.

	The Top 100 Baby Names - Baby Names of the World
		Middle names are not recognized in Japan; at least not in the western sense, in which there is a clear differentiation from the given name.
		Japanese names are usually written in kanji (Chinese characters), although some names use hiragana or even katakana, or a mixture of kanji and kana.
		Japanese people avoid often referring to their seniors or superiors by name at all, using just a title: within a family this might be a kinship relation such as okāsan ("mother"), in a school it could be 先生 sensei ("teacher"), while a company president would be addressed as 社長 shachō.

	Japanese Garb
		Names ending in ~suke or~nosuke (actually, either element was written with a variety of kanji), ~emon, or ~zaemon, though historical-sounding and aristocratic as they are, are in large part post-Period, as they came from a habit of naming people after titles (~suke was deputy governor, and ~emon was a guard title).
		Given names of two kanji, when read in the Chinese fashion (with Japanese version of the Chinese pronunciation), are more formal-sounding, and lend an academic, cultured (and, yes, often clerical) feel to the name.
		Their names were usually written in kana rather than kanji; the latter were generally reserved for men, though there is nothing wrong with using them for a woman’s name.

	Japanese kanji
		Japanese children are expected to know all of the jōyō kanji by the end of high school but to read specialist publications and ordinary literature, they need to know another two or three thousand kanji.
		Today about half the vocabulary of Japanese comes from Chinese and Japanese kanji are use to represent both Sino-Japanese words and native Japanese words with the same meaning.
		The former is known as the kun yomi (Japanese reading) of the character while the latter is known as the on yomi (Chinese reading) of the character.

	Japanese name : search word
		Japanese names are usually written in kanji, although some names use hiragana or even katakana.
		Names are almost never spoken or written without some sort of honorific, either a title like sensei or a general honorific like -san (さん), -kun (くん、君), or -chan (ちゃん).
		The Japanese emperor and Crown Prince have no surname for historical reasons, only a given name such as Hirohito (裕仁), which is rarely used in Japan: Japanese prefer to say "the Emperor" or "the Crown Prince", out of respect and as a measure of politeness.

	Japanese Girls' Names - Japanese Names - Issendai's Lair
		Most of the Japanese female names on this list are from an earlier generation—all the -ko, -e, and -yo names that were ragingly popular at the turn of the century, but that sound slightly dated now.
		Names from The Tale of Genji have been dead for ages; the hot names of the 17th and 18th centuries are now used only for actors' and geishas' stage names; even names from the late 19th century sound hopelessly dated.
		Name lists spell this "Ryo" and give its meaning as "dragon," but a dragon, a male symbol, is an unlikely name element for a female.

	Japanese Names: Article from Wikipedia
		In the past (before World War II), names written with katakana were common for women, but this trend seems to have lost favour.
		The plan to increase the number of name kanji has been controversial, largely because Chinese characters for "cancer", "hemorrhoids", "corpse", and "excrement", as well as those used in jukugo (words which are compounds of two or more kanji) meaning "curse", "prostitute", and "rape", are among the proposed additions to the list.
		They are sometimes given new Western names (as in Pokémon for example), or they may keep their original Japanese names in either Japanese or Western name order.

		In July 1943, official names were given to JNAF aircraft in place of type numbers.

		Even the Japanese Army had problems using their lengthy aircraft designations in combat, and assigned popular names to many of the major combat types in service.

	A Little About Japanese Hosta Names (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Japanese name giboshi (or sometimes spelled giboushi) came from an ornamental pillar capping on a bridge handrail because the leaf shape resembles it.
		There are lots of hostas with tongue twisting names and the names that don't make sense to most of us -- 'Sagae' or 'Kifukurin Ko Mame' for example.
		Well, anyway, many hostas in Japan were named this way, by "descriptive" words simply added to the parent hosta names.

	Japanese Names
		A very brief explanation: Most Japanese given names are written in kanji, a script with Chinese origin where each single character stands for a whole word or concept.
		If you see only the name written in kanji you do not yet know how it is pronounced because each kanji character has several possible pronounciations.
		The other way round is difficult as well: If you hear a name you cannot be sure how to write it in kanji.

	CNN.com - Stars promote NRA blacklist - Oct. 29, 2003
		Actor Dustin Hoffman was so dismayed to find his name missing from the NRA's shadowy 19-page list of U.S. companies, celebrities, and news organizations seen as lending support to anti-gun policies that he wrote to the powerful pro-gun lobby group begging to be included.
		Hoffman's name has now been added to the list which reads like a Who's Who of American business, culture and religion and which ranges from the American Jewish Congress to A&M Records, ABC News and talk show queen Oprah Winfrey.
		The list was found deep in the official NRA Web site by a group of grass-roots anti-gun campaigners and publicized by them two weeks ago to garner support for two pieces of gun control legislation going through Congress.
