Need help for a girl's name!

hi, I'm from Japan, going to move to UK early next year.
I'm now expecting a girl in December, and I want to give her
a name that can be accepted also in English speaking countries.
I don't give a name that has a bad meaning in English, so I need a help!!

my husband and I thought of these several names. what do you think?
does any one of those sound odd/have bad meaning? any opinions would be appreciated.

thanks!

Saori(pronounced like Maori starting with S)...meaning: beautiful fabric
Eri...(Erika without "ka")meaning: bright lapis lazuli
Runa...(Ru is for room)meaning: blue calm ocean
Mana...(ma is for map)meaning: beloved
Rei...(same as Ray)meaning: wisdom

Saori

Out of the two I like Saori, its very pretty!

Amaya?

Saori reminds me too much of Suri and Mana reminds me too much of Amanda. I'm not really a big fan of either. If you want something that sounds pretty in English but also has Japanese roots I would recommend Amaya.

Amaya means night rain.

I think it sounds so pretty and would be gorgeous for a Japanese-English girl.

I also really like the name Rei from your list. It's very pretty.
Amaya Rei would sound good together.

Hanako is also one of my favorite Japanese names meaning flower child. I knew a beautiful girl with this name growing up. I also really like Sakura, meaning cherry blossom.

Names

There all beautiful names.
I like Rei & Eri, there both really nice. I think it's really inmoptant to keep names from your ethnic group.

Good Luck,
Johana

all the name are beautiful, but the best in my opinion is eri!!!

Thanks!

thank you everynoe, I'm glad at that you said they are beautiful, and that none of them seems to have any bad meaning.

I chose 2 out of these 5 above, so I'd like you to vote. which sounds more beautiful/easy to pronounce??

Saori
Mana

Thanks again!

Names

I like all of the above names, they have lovely meanings.

Saori

Saori is beautiful!!! Ray is a boy's name in English but that doesn't mean you can't use it.
