With regards to the pronunciation of Kinga, I'm sure you're aware that it's not pronouced like the word 'king' with an extra A added. Anyway, I pronounce Kinga keen-gah.With regards to Kizuna, I have a personal reason for choosing this name. The kanji used for Kizuna (絆) means "bonds, fetters" and the word, which uses the same kanji, refers to a bond, emotional tie or link between people. That is something I don't really have. I had ties broken up between my friends from time to time. In most cases, I put the blame on myself since I acted terribly and made a lot of really stupid decisions. Since then, whenever I think of anything, it always transpires to something bad happening to me and it makes me feel depressed and ashamed of myself for even existing with autism and Asperger's. Now I don't have anyone to talk to at home or outside (excluding school) except my mother and my friend, Isabella (if I had bought a phone and got her to exchange numbers before she left high school).
If I had a baby with any type of a Japanese woman, I would persuade her to give the name Kizuna to that baby, regardless of gender, so that he/she can do what I cannot do, which is to create long-lasting bonds with people without inflicting damage.My PNL: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/149249

Actually, I wasn't aware. As I mentioned, I have never heard the name Kinga before. However, I do find it appealing, especially the way you pronounce it. To be a bit off topic - I hope you realize that beyond the significance of a name... there is always time to create bonds with people free from damage. Autism or not, the world is full of loving and understanding people that treasure relationship even if one party acts "terribly". ;)
