Hi guys! So... I just found out I'm having twins, and they're both girls! I'm so happy, its always what I've wanted but I have a slight problem.
I'm irish, and my husband is Japanese, and we live in tokyo.
So I need two names for first and middle that... that have some of my irish roots, but wouldn't sound too odd when the girls go to school.
Thanks!

Irish/japanese female names?

i studied Japanese at school and remember these names...
Kana (KA-NA)
Aya (A-YA)
Mai
Amaya (AH-MA-YA)-Night Rain
Asa (UH-SA)-Born in the morning
Hana (HA-NA)-Flower
Kai-Forgivness
Kaya (KA-YA) Resting place
Miya (MI-YA)-Temple
Tori (TO-RI)-Bird
Personally i love Hana beautiful meaning and works in english and japanese and Miya, meaning isnt as nice but it does translate to english well. its hard when i look at the names i pn them differently then i have to remember that japanese is all about syllables.
