It's so difficult.
"en" sound reminds us folowing characters.
~@circle
@flame
@park
@support
I recommend ~.
~(circle) is a symbol of perfect wisdom or enlightnment.
Many famous monks of zen have the name including ~ character.

cute japanese names

I'm 1/4 Japanese, but my dad was born there and I lived there as a small child too. All my children have a Japanese name, first or middle. So I'm always on the lookout for cute Japanese names too. :)
Sakura is really popular right now and everyone I run into loves my daughter's name. Her nickname is Suki, also cute.
We've also used Fumie and Hisa for my other daughters, and Takashi and Sentaro for my sons. (All old-fashioned, family names.)
When I ask my obachan about names for girls, she really like Mai, Anzu (apricot), Ume (plum) and Hikaru (shining beacon, I think).
Other cute girl names in my family are Suzume (sparrow), Kawaii (cute) and Naomi (ever more beautiful).
Kaede (maple leaf) is also good.
We worried about using Sakura as a first name, because of how Americans would butcher hte pronuciation, etc. No problems. People love its exotic quality and are willing to pronounce it however we tell them to.
Be brave and use whatever you think is beautiful. Do make sure you know the meaning--I'm always asked what my children's names translate to in Japanese.

A Writer's Advice

I dont have children but I'm a writer and so, Im always on the lookout for unique, descriptive and fun names for my characters. I spend a lot of time choosing the right name and its spelling because sometimes, spelling can change meaning. You can say that names and choosing names is my job (and obsession, if you want to get technical :-)
If I can offer a little advice try not to get hung up on how someone of a different culture will butcher the name because different accents call for differing pronunciations. Whether its said in English, Japanese, French, Elvish, or whatever, someone somewhere is going to mess up the name at some point during the childs life, especially if its unusual to that culture, so why stress out about it? If you dont have a willingness or patience for possible mispronunciations, it may be best to choose a simple, well-known name.
It seems to me that the primary concern is how you like the name, how it will fit and affect your child, the personality of the child (either something noticeable right away or a trait you hope the child will possess), home culture pronunciation and meaning, teasing potential, and even how the name will affect adulthood concerns (such as social and occupational connotations and earning potential for example, you might not want to give your child a strippers name, much less a name where people think to themselves, future porn star!) should also be some of the things considered. I have nothing against strippers or porn stars. Im just saying.
I also advise against strange names like the kind celebrities choose for their children. They can afford years of therapy for their kids. Can you? And be careful of names from movies and books unless you plan to give your kid martial arts lessons because names like Pony Boy and Soda Pop are going to require some self defense. The point is, you might think a name is cute, macho, or funny but your child has to be the one to suffer or profit from your decision. Names have magic and power, so think about it carefully.
A great way to gauge a good name is to try it out by asking little kids what they think. Children are very honest and sometimes a not-so-nice nicknames will simply pop out of their mouths which is indicator #1 that the name is to be crossed off the list :-)
Good Luck!
