western friendly japanese boy names?

i'm choosing not to find out the sex of the baby so thinking about having a girl and boy name prepared. really struggling to find Japanese boy names that aren't too mainstream (i.e ken) but still easy for western people to pronounce (since i'm based in london). i'm hoping to get some ideas!

i was in the same boat ! my husband and i made a long list of names for boys and girls, some sounded very japanese, some sounded too western, we thought we’d narrow it down but the list only got longer >_> haha

We did the same thing making names lists! It’s so hard! Some of the ideas we had were Leo, Kai, Kenzo, Ren, Jo, Kota, Keita, Eiji, and Noah. Good luck finding the right name!
