I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been posting thoughts, advice, and resources since the naming conventions came out, in this thread and others. You've been an enormous help!
This is tricky, and I'm fairly clueless. I've been bumbling through the lists linked here and I've come up with a few potential names that I like, but I really wanted to double-check with the more knowledgeable people here before I proceed, just to make sure they're from the right era and grammatically sound.
Do Kanehana and/or Yasuhana function as names? How about if you wanted to have a name that involves the words for "princess" and "bird", would Himetori or Torihime work? Aside from those, if anyone has suggestions for other names that invoke concepts like warmth, gentleness, dance/music, gold, or white/paleness. Basically, anything that a traditional Raen of the warrior class might name a doted-on daughter.
Secondly, the surname - does anyone have any ideas for something that roughly translates to "spearman", or what have you? If I can't find anything better I'm thinking of just going with Kamayari, but I'm not fond of how literal it is to have the surname just straight-up be the name of a weapon.
I hope it's okay to ask questions here; if not, I can edit out my post. Thanks again for the links.
