THE KIDS ( I NEED SOME NAMES!!!) (Also descriptions for ones lacking

Okay. I'll try for a couple.

Kuno & Nabiki- They have a girl, but I don't know what to do with her
either! Help!

Make her the youngest of the group, like a freshman. She's got her father's
lover of poetry, except she's a beetnik (with a cool beret!). :D Plays kendo,
but favors probably iado more and carries a real blade when possible.
Takes after her mother as an extortionist and an informat but also does so
as a James Bond like free-lance intelligence spy... Oh yeah... name... name...
Oh! How about Sakura! (cherry blossom)

Sakura?! As in Sakura Kunou?! Hoboy, this is gonna be hard... I'm already
using that name in Lightbirds, and she IS Kunou and Mariko Konjou's
daughter. She has pink hair and looks a lot like her mother. Not to be a
nitpicker, but I just thought I'd say this so no one would think I
plagiarized the name while writing Lightbirds.

However, if you want a really good source for names, you might consider
taking a trip to Jeffrey's Japanese<-->English Dictionary Server. Its
address is:

http://www.wg.omron.co.jp/cgi-bin/j-e/fg=b/inline/dict

It's a very good resource for Japanese names, words, life-science terms
and it even has a link to show what each kanji in a name means. I've used
this several times
