Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Names (personal, company) | | Japanese term or phrase: 優 | This is a first name. I am guessing it is a man.
I'm aware that names can be read as anything, but in this particular case I will not be able to get any answers about name readings from the client, so I am wanting some common readings that people know of for this name, since it's only one character and hard to search for on Google.
"Yuu" is the only one I found. Are there any common readings for this name?
Thank you very much. |

Explanation:
You could refer to name reading glossaries on the Internet, or a jiten like 日本姓名よみふり辞典 (which is where i obtained the above readings).

Asker: Do you have links to some good online name search engines? I only have one and it only came up with "Yuu".
