Hello, I am a trying to write a story and i am haveing a rather hard time trying to find a good name for any of my characters. I was woundering if any of you could suggest some names for girl and boy characters. I was thinking of names from Japanese orgin but any orgin will do and could you please tell me the name meaning of the name as well if not that is ok too. thanks and bye. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like some names from Japanese origin, hope you like them.

Sakura "cherry blossoms"
Kaede "maple leaf"
Sachiko "a child of happiness"
Akari "light"
Natsumi "beautiful summer"

If you want to know about Japanese names, please ask me! Good Luck.
