    I don't think my kids could pull off Japanese names (unless I adopted from Japan, haha), but Miko Gabriel and Kaori Autumn are seriously cool! What's not to like?!

    I think they're cool, but I wouldn't use them on kids that weren't part-Japanese.

    Not saying *you* shouldn't, or that there's anything wrong with it. . I just find it a bit jarring when a person's name and their ethnic heritage are so out-of-sync. I'm tall, light-haired, blue-eyed and pale. I'm glad I'm not called Esperanza, know what I mean?

    How Kaori pronounced? Ki-o-ri or Ka-o-ri?

    It is,well it was. Lately -mi (meaning beauty),as well as -ka and -na,have passed it while -ko (meaning child) is getting a bit more dated though it's still widely used. I suppose that in theory you could use Miko on a boy if you used some obscure kanjii for -ko but I would be EXTREMELY surprised to find a boy named Miko.

    On the other hand Kaori Autumn is lovely.
