I've always wondered how free are the Japanese to choose the kanji you write their normal names with. I've seen several times (in shows, yeah...) that they introduce themselves by saying their name and then explaining the kanji you write it with.
Can they be as creative as they want and choose any kanji with the reading of their name or are there some kanji that would make native Japanese think 'what is that kanji doing in a name?'.
I hope this question makes any sense, lol.
