I always play female MC's. As a former Asian horror fan, I like to play Asian girls named from my favourite movies. These are quite popular Japanese and Korean female names.

Mostly Korean, because though I love Japanese culture, I was on many forums, and there were many "very original" hipster users with pretentious Japanese nicknames (which they probably didn't even understood), who spoiled my whole joy of using this beautiful language :(((

Once or twice I used Chinese name, but since I don't wield this language (it's way more difficult than Japanese or Korean), I'm very careful before giving Chinese name to the character - I have to check the most common homonymes and their meaning, to not humiliate myself by my own ignorance.

It's a shame that there is no possibility to put a dash in two-pronged given names. It forces me to write name So-hee as So Hee etc.

Exceptions are these books that make choosing Asian girl impossible or implausible, or just the other races’ female portraits are prettier... In these cases, I try to use Roman or Celtic names. If not possible, I use English names similar to default.
