I never researched the meaning or possible meaning, but I named a character "Jin" and then tried to add more 'Japanese sounding' articles, and I ended up naming him "Jinakei," but pronouncing the "J" like in Spanish.
I don't even want to know what monstrosity that could have been.
For example, for most of the main cast, the target language was Japanese, so I just came up with random names that sounded Japanese at first -- like Shiri, which means..."butt". -//_//-'
Haha, yeah. I wasn't going to change the main group initially; but I don't want the names to sound ignorant, and I did just come up with them off the top of my head. So, I figured that this rewrite is a good opportunity to make the change.

Looking back on it, it's kinda cringe, but most things like that are.

Ah, I get it. Yeah, I've had a similar issue with naming characters like that in the past.

What were the target languages?
And what do the names mean?

I'm surprised you're changing the names of some of your main characters. What's your reasoning behind that?
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

I thought so too. Airi isn't a common one, and its meaning is kinda cute. ^^
