    A race that uses real-world names? So much easier. Went browsing through this list for ideas. Haru has a few different meanings including "light", and I liked the sound of it.

    Surname "Windsong" (for an easy-going 'travelling for fun' character) again possibly-mangled though online translation, and with no lore excuses this time. Hopefully the Japanese players aren't looking at it and thinking "yeah, you must a clueless English speaker who doesn't know how apply Japanese grammar to that"....
    I saw where you found the info for these names and no worries what you have is fine, but there is something I wanna bring to your attention in case it was unknown. While the kanji you would use for the name "Haru" 陽 does mean "light" and this kanji combined with thick/fat (太) makes the word for sun (taiyou/太陽), the light part is actually yang, as in yin and yang. The name actually means light as in positive/uplifting.

    As for the last name, as you said it's literally wind and song combined. Not bad but it does hit the same as it might in English. You could always change it to Fuuta, since it means the same thing, in a way. Honestly Windsong sounds a bit better to me, sorry... forgive me. T.T

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.
