: Nils,
: Probably the best answer to your query is this quotation from the preface of P G O'Neill's Japanese Names. A Comprehensive by Characters and Readings (Weatherhill 1972):
: As for Japanese names, you won't get very far with Langenscheid's or Nelson's character dictionaries. You should try to find O'Neill's book, and also Albert J Koop & Hogitarô Inada: Japanese Names and How to Read Them (Routledge & Kegan Paul, reprint 1972). They will at least get you started.
: Best regards,
: Hans Olof
Thank you, Hans Olof,
I have found both books at Amazon's.
Best wishes,
Nils
