I really like one of my best friend's names: Yasuhiro (Yahs-oo-hee-ro). He goes by Yas. His sister's name is Chika, but that name is nms. I'm also in love with the girl's name Sayuri.

The only Japanese name that I'm attached to is Midori (= green), for a girl. I like the meaning as well as the sound.
