Help[Opinions] Re: Hanami (花見)
in reply to a message by Felie
I hope to participate in Hanami when I go to Japan next year!
Hanami is an okay name but it is quite old-fashioned now...I do prefer it over just 'Hana' though, since I'm not too fond of very feminine, flower-y names like Sakura.

Hi Higuma Kanora !!!
Flowery names are exactly the kind of names that I love! Ahahahsh
I know that long, traditional names are old-fashionable as a lot of -ko names (Sachiko, Akiko, Yuriko..).
But...what are the most modern names instead of them? Just the kira-kira names that you suggested me?
Which meanings/style/look names need to be popular and appreciated in 2019?
Oh you are very lucky!! I'd like to travel everywhere but it's just a dream now. :)
I'm glad to your answer: everyone complains about here only Western names are posted. Actually every time that I post names from elsewhere (Native, African, Arabic..) I receive just ONE comment if I'm lucky and then my post is forgotten. Lol

I don't think the name has to be modern specifically, just that some names like Hanami are too tied to an older generation, but there are some older names I like as well.
Another flower name that isn't modern but has still maintained popularity over the years is Sumire (violet). It really is just a matter of chance that some names continue to be relevant.
Currently very short names are trendy, like Yui, Rin, Aoi, Rio, Noa etc. but there are also lots of newly created names or rare names rising in popularity like China, Ema, Miharu, Yuina, Kisara, Emina (according to current ranking on namae-yurai.net). Of course some old favorites still rank high like Megumi, Sakura, Tsumugi, Miyuki, etc.
I'm not sure what kira-kira names you are talking about?

I wouldn't exactly call Tsumugi OR Sakura old favourites. They have been used in the early 20th century from what I can find on FamilySearch, though it is nothing compared to their current popularity.
In Sakura's case, from douseidoumei.net data, only 123 people (presumably women) with the most common form さくら/サクラ were counted and from my research stemming from namaejiten.com data, it wasn't even popular at the start of the Heisei period, placing within the bottom quarter of the top 200 in the 1990 (at around 0.110%) and it only started becoming more popular in the mid and late 1990s.
In Tsumugi's case, it was uncommonly used (though it did rise throughout the 90s and 00s) up until the last several years.

Hi !!!
Kira-kira names as fictional names or translitterations of Western names.
You are very helpful :)
