Some names in Japan have similarities in the western world...
Erika
Eriko
Eri (like Ellie)
Risa
Rin (like Lynne)
But, some of the Japanese names I like are Shizuka (means 'Quiet')and Makiko. A famous singer's name is Hikaru, but her nickname is "Hikki". Another famous singer's name is "Ayumi". There's another t.v. talent who's from the States, and her name is "Kaya".
However, just a few names I didn't like were Reiko (Cold, as in heart is ice cold!), Keiko (a very common name), and Jun (like June), but the reason why I don't like Jun is because they can use it for a guy's name as well, it's just a matter of what Chinese Character they use for it's name. Junko is a variation of Jun.
A personal note, I never cared for girls names that were named after the calander months. Always got my heart broken from May, Hatsuki (Japanese for Autumn Solstice), April and June!
Hope that gave some insight, from the other side of the world!
