キラキラネーム
“Kirakira names” are flashy, unique Japanese baby names that often use unusual kanji readings or creative combinations. Parents choose them to make their child stand out, but some names are hard to read or sound strange to others. They can be cute or trendy, but also controversial, as people debate whether they’re too unconventional.
