Greetings and felicitations!
A friend of mine has been trying to convince me that I should find an ESL school in Japan to teach English in the summers (even though I haven't taken any Nihongo courses yet). I have very little experience with the language, but was told that it would be best if I were to pick a Japanese name to use while there (I'm still not too familiar with this practice).
A woman I dated at university used to call me "Ōkami" as a pet name. My actual given name is "Micah". I was wondering if 舞火 (Maika) is permissible as a Japanese name, and could 狼 (Wolf) be used as a family name?
As I've said, I'm really not familiar with Japanese naming conventions, and I wouldn't want to take on a name that is too 'odd' to native speakers. Also, if this combination would work, would it be written as
狼 舞火?
Many thanks!
