[ANSTHRLD] HELP!! I think I'm turning Japanese!

[Yoshinobu]

The resource I used for mine was Baron Edward of Effingham's webpage:
http://www.sengokudaimyo.com/miscellany/miscellany.html

His section on japanese names is quite informative and includes contruction 
and background.

Using just his page, i was able to get a name that worked well, and is 
currently in progress after being submitted at AAA.

Of course, I then checked against Solvieg's book.

If I can help in anyway, please let me know

In Service to Ansteorra,
