Thanks for that. I figured the asian names would be tricky, because that is their English spelling equivelent. Oh, and I can assure you that Akhito is not a typo.

Concerning the Japanese names...What are the kanji for them? The combination of the kanji and the hiragana/katakana determines what the names mean (tidbit of information came from my japanese professor who is Japanese.)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
