What are some good Japanese names and what are their meanings?

I write stories and I need some names, both male and female, for a few characters... So does anyone know some good Japanese names and meanings?|||Girls' names:


Manami 愛美


愛　= love


美 = beauty





Akiko 明子　or 秋子


明子　= bright child


秋子 = autumn child





2) Boys' names


Takeshi 武　or 健　or 竹志


武　= fighter


健 = healthy (boy)


竹志 = strong like bamboo





You can mail me and tell me the idea which you have about the character of your story, and I can give you a good name. I can also ask my wife who is Japanese.|||emma doesn't speak Japanese, ignore her suggestions.





Usagi does not mean "moon", usagi means rabbit, and moon is tsuki. Neither of those are real names, unless you want an odd name.
