Japanese names that are deal breakers


Sounds like one of these

I'm talking about real names.

Are there names that you'd avoid completely for some specific reason?

In my case, I couldn't seriously date someone whose name is Mami.
I just can't stand that name, and in French it has the meaning of something like "aunt".

Also I would never date someone whose name is Asuka because it was the name of an ex of mine who died while we were together. Dating someone with that name would feel too wrong.

Many Japanese names in Spanish language have a funny meaning such as: "Mami" (mommy), "Mikako" (my head), "Kako" (big head), "Mako" (frog), "Miko" (ape)....
although written in Spanish is different but the pronunciation of the words are the same!

So funny, as my cousin she got married to a Japanese man and went to Japan to start a new life as a married woman. So my cousin decided to teach her kids Spanish at home although they were living in Japan. So her kids used to call her "Mami" as mommy in Spanish, so all her neighbors thought that my cousin's name was Mami. LOL!
