Miyoko and some other Japanese names

Girl Names

I’m in love with Miyoko for a girl. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it?

I’m wondering whether this is old fashioned in Japan, because it was popular around 1900/1910. Does anyone know?

These are the other Japanese names I like, which one is your favorite?

Miyoko
Tsukiko
[name_f]Aya[/name_f]
[name_m]Miyo[/name_m]
[name_f]Kaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Sachiko[/name_f]
[name_f]Sakura[/name_f]
[name_f]Emi[/name_f]
[name_f]Aimi[/name_f]
[name_f]Aiko[/name_f]
[name_f]Akiko[/name_f]
[name_m]Aki[/name_m]

Anyone know how fashionable these are in Japan right now? I know that [name_f]Aya[/name_f] was a very popular 80s/90s name and [name_f]Akiko[/name_f] was popular at the beginning of the 20th century and then again in the 70s/80s. [name_f]Sakura[/name_f] seems to have been popular in the 2000s and [name_f]Sachiko[/name_f] in the 50s.

Mainly wondering about [name_f]Kaya[/name_f], Tsukiko, [name_m]Aki[/name_m] etc. as they seem less common.

Any more suggestions?

Aya [name_m]Can[/name_m] still be used, but quite 90s-00s
Miyo Usable, vintage feeling (like Eleanor)
Kaya Usable! Actually getting trendy
Sakura Usable
Aimi Usable
Aiko Usable
Aki Usable

I just analysed Japanese name sites in Japanese for 2024 (usable = modern feeling)

Miyoko has a pleasing, bright sound!

I like Tsukiko is lovely too - beautiful meaning too!

[name_f]Emi[/name_f], [name_f]Aiko[/name_f], [name_f]Kaya[/name_f], and [name_f]Sakura[/name_f] are lovely pretty and distinctive too but also international feeling!

I’m afraid I don’t know about popularity / usage in Japan - but I have met teens called [name_f]Sakura[/name_f], [name_f]Aya[/name_f] and [name_f]Emi[/name_f]

A few others I’ve encountered:

Sayaka
[name_f]Hana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mika[/name_f]
[name_f]Mieko[/name_f]
