| Abstract: | Based on both quantitative and qualitative data, this study investigates recently emerging trends in Japanese contemporary personal naming within a sociolinguistic framework. Five anthroponymic strategies are identified in this research beginning with the rejection of the demeaning orthodox suffix –ko (‘child’). Secondly, the abandonment of moralistic appellation to define and mold personality traits is presented. Additionally, three newly emerging iconoclastic patterns in name bestowal are outlined including the invocation of a Western-style identity, androgynous appellation and the formation of radically unique anthroponyms that break with hitherto established orthographic and phonetic conventions. |
