Thanks Liz! I wish I could include the Chinese script to make it more thorough. I studied Japanese and there is much overlap with the kanji but my knowledge is extremely limited. Maybe a native speaker will have some feedback! These names are beautiful.

This is a useful index. I was worried that it might be in Chinese script. This is a great idea for a series. There is so much scope to cover multiple nationalities.
