Do you have a Japanese name?

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

Saw this link on one of my friend’s blog … figured I would give it a try.

I typed in my surname first, then my last name.

And this is what I got:

秋本 Akimoto (autumn book) 三千代 Michiyo (three thousand generations)

Then I decided it is my other half’s turn. So I typed in his surname first (we share the same), then his last name.

And this is what I got:

秋本 Akimoto (autumn book) 健太 Kenta (healthy and plump)

LOL~

He won’t like this … :)
