You can mail me and tell me the idea which you have about the character of your story, and I can give you a good name. I can also ask my wife who is Japanese.
emma doesn't speak Japanese, ignore her suggestions.



Usagi does not mean "moon", usagi means rabbit, and moon is tsuki. Neither of those are real names, unless you want an odd name.
