Help[Opinions] WDYTO Kei?
I'm not sure if it's true but I read in a Manga that Kei is a Japanese name written with the simplified Chinese character for firefly.
In the book it was used on a boy and I'm really staring to like it for a mn. My only concern is that it is too similar to the feminine Kay.
So WDYTO Kei? and can you come up with any combos?

I like it. I've seen it used as a male name, but mostly as a female name. I prefer it for a girl myself.
What manga did you see it in?

I quite like it. Unfortunately it's very unusable for me because it means "stone" or "cobblestone" in Dutch and it's also used in some areas as a slang form of "very", which also doesn't help the usability for me :)
Here's a source in support of your firefly theory: http://japanese.about.com/library/blkow32.htm

Thanks I thought it was true, but wasn't sure that the translation to English in the Manga was right. The Dutch meaning could end up causing problems for me as I have a lot of Dutch Ancestry and plan to learn the language but for now its good.
Thanks!
Thanks!
