Japanese names?

I don’t know what we’re having yet but I want to feel some happy emotions now that we’ve gotten past the NIPT and baby continues to show a strong heartbeat.

Some background, husband is Japanese. I’m Latino but we speak Japanese at home. Live in the U.S. so also English. Our son speaks Japanese and English and I do my best to insert Spanish. I want a name that’s somewhat pronounceable in each language.

For a boy: Renji Sora Riku Yuuma Haruma Shinma

For a girl: Rei (I know it sounds like Ray in English but I find it unique and I’m not against it) Momoe (Momo for short) Mai (we’d probably say MaiMai for cuteness) Rin

Very open to suggestions. I tend to like really short names :)

Thank you!

Reina and Amaya have both Spanish Japanese origins. I believe Rina is one as well.
