For example, a name like Haru means spring, and adding a ‘ko’ will make it Haruko, which means the child of spring.
Two-syllable names that were popular before the 1980s are in trend again. There are also short names such as Mei, Rei, Aoi, and Rio that are popular but have no meaning.
Parents could assign any meaning they like by adding suffixes to the names. These are considered modern names free from any association with people of the past.
