Among these, Hiryuu (Flying Dragon) and Arashi (Storm) can sound like names for
warriors or wrestlers. They sound pretty good. Most of the others are simply

would be impressed that you worked hard to come up with japanese names. By the
way, when we hear the word Hakujin, the first meaning we think of is "Caucasian
person". :)

two are unrelated words. :)
Have fun!
