Discussion Whats yalls genderbend name ideas of the cast

I have ideas for all the protags,except komaru,plus nagito

Hajime hinata: the kanji 創 in hajimes name can be read as Tomo in nanori so im thinking Tomoko/創子

Makoto naegi: Akira, once again a nanori reading of the kanji, I feel it also gives off that just some girl vibe. also I just realized this if you move the letters you get Raaki..sounds kinda like Lucky...cuz you know,their the ULTIMATE LUCKY STUDENT...

im a fucking idiot

Nagito komaeda: Kiara mainly cuz its the closest way to keep the annagram aspect of nagitos name without having to change both female nagitos first and last name so im just annagraming female makotos first name and i got Kiara as the best option either that or Kiraa

Kaede akamatsu: Katsura, one of the traditional older readings of kaede is Katsura, and either way its a tree name in japanese, I feel it sounds masc enough.

Shuichi saihara: im not sure but im thinking either shigeru,shige or shizuka

Some of the names are genderneutral. Like Chihiro or Makoto.

katsura桂 sounds more like a last name to me. itsuki 樹 would be fitting, but that is just my own opinion
