I’m not Japanese, but in my opinion, this is the most beautiful Japanese name for a girl (I also like Shion and Masako). I try to ignore that it’s associated with Memoirs of a Geisha…I’m not going to let that ruin the name for me. I’m going to name my small ringneck dove Sayuri :)

My name is Sayuri. My mom gave me that name, because she watched this movie called "Memoirs of a Geisha". At first I didn't like it, but when I saw the meaning I liked it, but really the movie about the Geisha ruined the name Sayuri.

I love it, but I would not use it because I have no Asian heritage. I prefer it to Yuri because it seems more complete.

My name is Sayuri too. My mom named me Sayuri because her name is Lily and I'm the youngest in my family and I'm also Japanese.

This is a really beautiful name, but unfortunately Memoirs of a Geisha ruined it. What a shame.

I think Sayuri is a very, very beautiful name, but for me, it was ruined by the book "Memoirs of a Geisha". No offense to Mr Golden, but I feel his book misrepresented the Geisha. Contrary to what it says in "Memoirs of a Geisha", Geisha are NOT prostitutes, they are artisans - dancers and musicians who preserve the Japanese traditional arts.

What can I say? I love Japanese names and this is a very pretty one. It has a nice, strong meaning; and a flair to it. Not too strong, but not weak, either. Just pretty.
