your real japanese name generator!

ever wonder what your japanese name should be? just select male or female from the list, input your name and submit! names are in traditional japanese order (family name first, given name last) for more authenticity! ;D

NOTE: some of these had to be very roughly translated in order to make any sense in english, so please don't use this as a tool to learn japanese words.

UPDATED: 02/2008 - i was finally able to get rid of those nasty question marks! i also added many, MANY more names, so you might want to try submitting your name again to see if you get something different!

enjoy!
