Only one name ending in -ko for girls, and no -jiro for boys. Names are indeed changing!
We know a small GIRL called Aoi. It is getting more and more difficult to know the gender of the child from the name.

There are some names on there I haven't heard before. Interesting how names go in and out of fashion!
