I was fishing out guilty pleasures from my name list earlier today when I came across this name, and I cannot decide where it should go.
"Mariko" has been on my guilty pleasure list for a long, long time. I adore the sound and flow of it, however it stands out with the rest of my favorite names, which tend to be classic, timeless names that I see in the national rankings year after year between 1 and 300, with a few outliers, and even less "exotic" names (Mariko is not the only one, but it is the only one that I have ever thought about using). I can't seem to find a name that I like with it, and it worries me that it might stick out too much from the rest of my favorite names, so for now, it has been on the guilty pleasure list.
That said, is it usable (namely, as a middle name)? If so... What are some names that would introduce it well?
Usable girl's name?

I think Mariko is lovely and would be very wearable. I think it's similar sound to the word miracle and the names Margo, Marco and even Marigold make this name feel familiar although I can honestly say I've never come across it before.
I think it would work well in the middle name spot if it doesn't quite feel right for a first name. Pairing it with a established classic would help solidify the name and would make a classic first name feel fresh and new.
