So I created an Anki Deck for the top 500 Japanese Names.

Actually, the deck has 600+ names since some names
have multiple readings.

Here's the link:

I will upload this as a shared Anki deck later today.
Maybe I'll add some more names.

That's actually a really smart thing! Great work smile
But man.. That would be just way too boring to study, at least for me. I might eat my words and cram that thing after a while, so please upload it as a shared Anki deck!

Thanks.

I like to read the names of J-Drama actors on http://wiki.d-addicts.com

500 isn't such a huge number (especially when compared to the 2042 kanji in RTK1).
So you could literally train yourself to read most of the names you're
likely to encounter.

I think a good idea might be add people with the same name to each card (celebrities, friends, etc). So I might end up making the shared deck editable by all users.

You're welcome.... :-)
Just uploaded the shared deck to Anki.

Just type "Japanese Names" and you should see it.

Yes,  that's the one.

Although, I don't know why it says that it was uploaded 2 days ago.
I just uploaded it a few minutes ago.

Enjoy.

Rad! Haha this makes it 5 decks for me.... and I had just told myself 4 was the max. I'll work through this one slowly, maybe 3-5 names a day.

ありがとうございます！

Whoa, I have WAAyyy more decks than that.

A lot of them are related to college classes, though...
