“Your cholesterol isn’t too good at the moment.” Toby ignored her, and just when she thought she couldn’t handle the brothers staring at her in silence any longer and was ready to leave this weird situation in the past, Sebastian said, “So you’re Sally?” Sakura felt her cheeks turn hot. “My name is Sakura. Pronounced Sa-ku-ra. It’s a Japanese name meaning cherry blossom.” She thought she really needed to get that important information out for them to understand. She really did hate the name Sally. It rhymed with silly, after all.

said Uncle Brody. Because of that, said Uncle Brody, the pregnant Javanese woman gave birth under the shade of a banyan tree that grew in the middle of the bordeel yard. Therefore, the child was given the name Ichijiku which means fig tree in Japanese. The woman deliberately uses Japanese so that later she knows the origin of the seeds. “When he grew up, his friends just called him Ichi or Brother Ichi. From there it gradually changed to Brochi and then Brody,” said Uncle Brody. "To make it easier to hear and say."

That stormy night, with thunder rumbling nonstop, had given her the idea. This time, she had chosen Ryuji, which in Japanese means “second dragon.” The name carried two meanings: he was their second son, and also the “second dragon” following Rayden, the first heir of the Lorenzo family. “A truly beautiful choice,” Madam Lorenzo said warmly, approving her granddaughter-in-law’s decision. “Welcome to the Lorenzo family, Ryuji,” Regis whispered to his newborn son. The baby squirmed in Liliana’s arms as if letting everyone know he liked the name his parents had given him.

When the contraction ends, Nova leans into me, and I wrap my free arm around her. “Nova and Ishir have been looking up names, right Nova?” she asks, panting. Ishir wipes her the sweat from her forehead but turns to smile at Nova. “Tell your aunt what name you decided on.” “Daijiro.” “Daijiro?” I ask. “It’s Japanese, right? Doesn’t it mean something like ‘great second son’?” Everett asks. I love how intelligent his is. I watch him smile at my thoughts, but he remains focused on Zephyr.

To me, Tristan asked, “Are you freaked out, err...?” “Haru,” Sakura provided. “His name is Haru, meaning spring in Japanese and he’s half-Japanese.” Tristan burst out laughing. “You’re half-Japanese? I thought you were, but now I’m sure. And your name means spring. That’s a nice name, like our sister Sakura.” “Hello, everybody, we’re home.” Two males came in through the front door, and I suspected they were the brothers I hadn’t yet met.

“ペネロペ (Penerope).” He tapped his fingers against the table, seeming pleased. “Did you know her name in kanji can be written as 幸音礼 (Kō-on-rei)? It carries the meaning of ‘blessed sound and gratitude.’ A name with such a meaning… How very fitting.” Like I care if her name means anything good or bad, before I could respond, Ryuji lifted his sake cup giving me a sly smile. “To Christian’s wife,” he said, now grinning.

he said with a lazy grin. "It isn't a hugely popular name either, which means she will have a little difference. We both have unique names. I suggest we give our children the same,” she said. "We are not naming our son after another samurai,” he said. "Agreed,” she said with a smile. "But he also won't be a John or Tim either.” "Okay, I am fine with that,” he said. "You should start making a list, though.” "Let's enjoy Rowan, Mitsuhide,” she said.

she said. " Ma what does koyamaki means?" "Why do you ask baby?" "Just tell me ma. Does it has some significance" I blurted out. "Ok. Koyamaki holds very significant meaning in Japan" she said. " Koyamaki is for Prince of Japan. Everything he owns has it on them. It's like saying it belongs to the prince" she completed. As I heard the word prince my legs started trembling. It kept circulating through me over and over taking me to a different state of mind.

Kaen says, snapping me out of whatever trance his daughter has me under, and I look at him with a frown. “Romanised name?” I ask “Yes. Umiko seems plain to some, and I know certain Americans prefer English names, so we have given her one if you would prefer to use it.
