Hiura, Chihiro

My name comes from the movie Spirited Away. The movie is a Japanese featurelength animated film released in 2001. It is a wonderful movie that is famous both in Japan and abroad. I like my name. The name remains important for the rest of your life. Children’s names must be carefully considered by all members of the family. We have to choose a name that you will never regret.

After I get married, I want to have more than one boy and girl. I have some suggestions for thinking about children’s names. First, I want the name to have a nice meaning. There are many people who can put the meaning into a name of what kind of person they want their child to grow up to be in the future, the season at the time of birth, and their own desires. The second is the number of characters. For girls, I want it to be a 3 syllable name. For example, “Akari” and “Hinano”. For boys, I would like to have a two syllable name. For example, “Haru” and “Kai”. And I want to give them a kanji character that represents nature. The sound of “sea” and “spring” is very beautiful. Third is to combine my name with the name of my future husband. The combination can be not only the first name but also the last name. The kanji used in the name have meaning depending on the number of strokes. There are many kinds of characters even if they are read in the same way.

I don’t think it is too early to think of a child’s name. I would like to come up with a nice name.
