Sorry to be a bother, but can anyone point me to a dictionary that can search by nanori entries? Any help would be appreciated.

nanori entries

Nanori entries are Kanji readings that are used in Names. I have another dict that used EDICT and has Nanori readins for kanjis, but it's hard to find kanji for your name just by randomly clicking kanji (belive me, i tried ).

Are you talking about writing your name in Japanese, or writing Japanese names?

Well, preferably my own. More specifically thought in EDICT it has nanori readings for kanjis, and I remember a dictionary that let you search by On and Kun readings, and expressions, I'm just wondering if there's a dictionary that let's you do that with Nanori readings.

I don't know if there is an online dictionary but you can search for nanori readings with an editor which can search for regular expressions. Just open the kanjidic file in such an editor and search for "T1.* hiragana " (without the quotes). Just replace "hiragana" with the reading you are searching for.

If you are using Linux (or have grep and sed installed in windows) you can search for nanori readings like this (I do it this way):

cat kanjidic | grep 'T1.* hiragana '| sed -e "s/\(^[^\ ]*\).*T1 \(.*$\)/\1 \2/"
