Oh...so it's really fitting! o.o I come to like it more and more. X'D
And it doesn't sound awkward. XD
Hmm...and for Inukashi.
Somehow I'd choose an African name, since Inukashi is tanned. And I think that their ancestors probably came from another city state in the south.
There are some names you can use for males and females.
I like the name Imani... it also sounds a bit Japanese and you can write it in Katakana easily.
It's for f & m and means "faith" in Swahili and it's of Arabic origin.
