I'm trying to create a nice unique male japanese name that sounds cool in both english and japanese.
I don't have strong opinions about what meaning the name should have as long as the meaning doesn't give a bad impression to me and people. Rather, I care about the sound of the name.
The name is going to be a pen name, but I am considering making it an official alias or even a real name later.
After days of research, I started composing japanese names from "sound" fragments. I want to start with the first name and then make the family name later. However, since my japanese knowledge is not deep or extensive, most fragments turned out to be fragments of family names. Below are the fragments I gathered.
Other than composing names from sound fragments or making a name from the meanings that I want it to have, what would be the good ways to make the kind of japanese name I want?
I could try to learn from how japanese people make their own names, too.
