Pregnant and looking for baby names. Suggestions?

I'm pregnant with my second child right now. It's 4 months in but my husband and I are having a hard time coming up a name for this little one.

My husband wants the baby's name to reflect its ethnicity in some way. We're a mixed race couple, I'm German and the father is Japanese. Preferably we'd like to come up with an unique name that hints both the German and Japanese heritage. I guess it sounds silly but we want to make it work.

We want to surprise ourselves with the gender, so both names for girls and boys would be appreciated.

Would love to read some suggestions :) <3

What about The stegman, Kid's sure to get laid with that "the" XD

Kasaidrinnen meaning fire inside, but I could be wrong. The zero posts is freaking me out.

Kasai, I think, means an uncontrollable fire. Drinnen is probably the wrong sense of inside.

Get a baby book and open it to a random page then point to a random name.

Batman or Stormageddon.

In all seriousness, I think it's really great that you're put a lot of thought into your child's name. :) I personally really like chaos prime's suggestion of Ayame. :)

Ryu Gustav - sounds strong and can be short-formed to Rye or Gus if your child is unhappy with it later on in life. :)
