I was replying to Tobberoth, but I guess I should have used the quote button.

Ah, yes. Of course Smile

First off, おめでとうございます！

And yeah, names ending with 子 don't seem to be "in" at the moment. Anecdotally speaking, か as the last syllable seems more popular in my area.

As for freedom and choosing irregular readings, as someone said, you have plenty of room for creativity. My favorite was a girl who used the single-kanji name 晴, read as はゆる. Very pretty, I thought. And it confused pretty much every Japanese adult who tried to read it Wink

.

Also, I recently saw Haruka written as 悠, which I thought was really cool for some reason. More often I see it as 遥.

真里亜 kills several birds with one stone. It's English, Japanese, Spanish, Hebrew, and bob knows what else.

おめでとうございます!

Hmm, my favourite Japanese girl's name is みずき (美月). There's みつき as well, possibly Suki would sound Ok as a shortened version in English (or even Sue, come to think of it. That option is maybe not very cool, though, although I like it, and maybe it'll come back in fashion). I like りか as well, and I guess there's ぎな, though that's not very trendy as an English name.

Think はな and まや are nice.

You should be safe enough, but for me my own slightly unusual name has been a curse. The constant misspelling, the mispronunciations, the teasing, the outright-getting-it-completely-wrong... >_< So, just warning you in case she grows up to hate it. ; )

I also think まや is a really pretty girl's name. It works in all those languages that kazelee mentioned for 真里亜, too.

Haha. I have a tattoo of Maria on my chest. My former Filipina wife asked me to do it as a marriage present. Perhaps 90% (a wild guess) of Filipino women have Maria in part of their name as their parents' way of pleasing God.

The winning name is Hanalei 花麗ちゃん (beautiful flower). Hanalei is the name of the town in Hawaii I lived most of my adult life. Hanalei bay was chosen as the most beautiful beach in America for 2009 by the Dr. Beach rankings.

They change color depending on the lighting from green to blue the same way mine do. Just a shade darker though.
