Your comment makes it sound as if it is impossible to write some names in kanji. Not true. What kanji to use, or whether to use kanji at all, is the parents' stylistic choice.

Michi: way, street
Ko : child
I'm partial to the name 'akiko' which means 'chapter child' I think some names just sound pretty...

phew it goes on and on. Basically you make almost any name mean anything in Japan depending on what characters you choose. Because with names you can even choose characters and read them as you please.
So, someone actually (no joke) called his son ���j�o�[�X (universe) but the name is written �F�� (uchuu, the Japanese word for universe). Of course nobody could read this correctly, but they still do things like that.

heh I think I'll name my child Universe just for fun
I'm thinking the reason for being able to read a name so many ways is because there is a limited number of sounds in Japanese, yet a multitude of kanji which represent those sounds. Japanese is so confusing... but I love it.
I also thought it was interesting that my friend, Akiko, had the kanji for the 'chapter' in her name. She didn't understand why either.

I always liked the Aki combinations, like Aki, Akiko, Chiaki, etc, also Takako or Tomoko, and Mayumi, Megumi, etc.
I'm going to name my daughters Ryoko, Takako and Midori (or Megumi, or Akiko for the third, not sure yet)
