When I asked my parents why I was named Marie, they told me because it was the only First name that existed in both countries (and they liked it and my grand mother’s name was Marie) . I liked it because it felt like, thanks to this name, I knew I could be part of both countries and cultures.
For my children I think I want to be more discreet, maybe not reflect your background on others, but give a name that reminds my children of their background everyday. And it’s also a cool fact to tell at parties!
For example, the name Akane means Garance in French, which is also a name! So thanks to the kanjis that give a thousand meaning to names, we can always found a name with that kind of double meaning.

I married a white person but decided to give my daughter a Japanese name based on my grandmother. She has a blond hair and blue eyes. It is important to me that I give her a rich connection to Japan even if she may never live there. Giving her a Japanese name is one of many ways to do that.
