If you replace your name in Japanese ranking.

Is your name on the ranking?
A friend of mine played a game in which you have to replace the names on the ranking with the names of the same period and the same rank.

The fifth most common girl's name in the USA is
For example, the name 'Sophia' is the fifth most common name in the USA. The name 'Sophia', for example, is the fifth most common name in the United States and is associated with nobility in Japan, perhaps due to the influence of anime.


Reference:

Japanese names for the same rank.
Transpose that to the Japanese name rankings and I get the name Tsumugi.
The name Tsumigi means thread or fabric. The name sounds very pretty.
Reference:

In Japan, it is the trend of the names after nature.
And most of them are difficult to read, since their kanjis are many way to read.
However it is cute.

It seems to be the same all over the world that there are trends in names!
At the bottom of each site there is a link to change the country or period.


Do it in the name of yourself, a friend or a celebrity.
I played this game with my friends and we had a lot of fun talking about our impressions of each name. It was fun to talk about the impressions we had of each name, and to discover new things, because different people have different images of names.
It's a pity that I couldn't give you specific names to show you how fun it is, but it's really fun and you should try it!

Aren't you attached to the kanji used in names of the same rank as yours?

For those of you who are not good at remembering kanji.

Imagining the personality of the person who wrote the handwriting

Have you ever looked at a character and imagined the personality of the person who wrote it? With the spread of computers and smart phones, we have fewer opportunities to see handwritten characters, but the topic of handwriting and personality does come up once in a while in Japan. When I see the characters with stretchy strokes that protrude from the frame, I hear that they seem to have an open mind. On the other hand, when I see small, evenly spaced letters, I think that the person must be very meticulous. Historical Background This may have something to do with the history of Japan. Let me tell you a story from the Heian period(794-1185). Only the nobility can still read and write.
