Isn't Seiko a girl's name because it ends with "ko" which is when it's a girl's name?

You can also put some of these names together to make longer names. That's what a lot of Japanese parents do. Meaning is actually pretty important to them so the longer ones are usually a prefix and a suffix kind of thing ya know? I did that for my Death Note oc.

About this page:
I compiled these lists so that various authors who aren't natively Japanese or don't know the language may have an easier time with selecting a name for their Japanese characters. If it's able to serve any other purposes, that's great as well. Categories
