Would you ever use one of these names for a character in a book? Would you go to great lengths in naming a baby one of these names?

TIP: if you don't know what each of the kanji mean, go to jisho.org and copy the kanji in a name to the 'Japanese' text box in the 'Kanji' section. There, you would find out what each of them mean.
