ArchivesRe: Nobusuke (Japanese masculine name)
in reply to a message by Felie
Haha thanks, I'm glad I can help. I haven't posted much about Japanese names because while I have learned a bit about Japan's culture and language, I still have a lot to learn and I don't want to accidentally give someone misinformation. Plus not many people on this site seem to be very interested in Japanese names beyond the few old-school ones they already know like Akiko and Kaito.
Oh yeah FYI, if you ever want to find out all the different kanji that are commonly used for a name (or if you want to look up a Japanese word) I recommend the websites Kanshudo and Jisho. I use them all the time to look up something I don't know and you can even use them to study Japanese, they're super helpful.

I would add, the different Kanji, hiragana and other characters used to write Japanese names are more a form of signature than an indication of meaning. As in Korea, personal seals are still common on official documents rather than signatures, so having a distinctive way of spelling a common name is important.
