Well, I've used "Jeffrey's Japanese<->English Dictionary Server"
(http://linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/tty/fg=r/dict) with much success. It can
give you either romanji or kanji translations, and does partial word
searches. It has those little notations (an and vs for example), as well as
a page that explains what they mean, and the ability to configure the
interface a bit. I think that people can submit definitions, so it seems to
have a lot of the secondary and subtle alternate meanings.
Since I have different cultures in my MOCs, I've also used the "NameDB" for
names from other parts of the world (http://incompetech.com/named). Takase
Studio's "Names in Japanese" (http://www.takase.com/Names/NameInJapanese.htm)
is another good resource, but I didn't use it much.
By the way, thanks for the awesome list of suggested names!
Saves me a bunch of research, since I'm in the process of naming my world and
characters (MOC Ninja).
I realize this is a little late, but it may help others. :)
