So I've been thinking about this for a bit.

I'm a horribly boring person and don't want to give my children names they would get teased about in school. Ideally I would like to pick names that could work in both cultures their parents are from (Finnish and North African). That's easy enough for a girl as there are lots of common names in both cultures/languages. Examples:

Leila/Laila (that was my first pick even before I got together with a Finn, for very specific reasons)
Nora (it's a bit old, but I like it)
Mari/Maria
Hanna
Maia
Sanna
Lilia

But for boys all I could come up with is Sami, Rami and Elias, and both are pretty boring. So I'm thinking of just going past my limitations, but I haven't come up with anything for now. I guess I still have time to decide. Plus for all I know, either I'm not going to have a boy, or I'm not even going to have kids.

Fear not, I'm as boring as you.

My (hypothetical) kids will grow up Japanese with a gaijin surname. So a Japanese first name that makes sense in the wider world would seem a good idea. All I can think of so far is Yukiko, which can mean Snow Child and shortens nicely to Yuki. And for a boy Takashi/Taka.

Sturm, I'm not sure that Egzon is the greatest idea if your son is ever to leave Illyro-Thracia.

Japanese. Well, it derives from the same source as Hikari. Hikaru itself means ‘shining’ or ‘to shine’. As in ‘a light did shine on Hika Rue’ .
