Favourite masculine name: AkiraFavourite feminine name: Mika
Akira has always felt simultaneously very physically strong and studious to me. Curiously enough, I think
Kira sounds rather brutish for a girl, but
Akira combines physical and mental strength. It also reminds me of Rabbi
Akiva.
Mika sounds very cheerful, energetic, and slightly metallic. It reminds me of bubbling springs, foxes, and high-tech cities. It's also the stage name of one of my favourite pop singers, so it feels fun and camp-y to me, like his music.
