The list uses the same reviewed records as the name details and checker. Each exact spelling has dictionary evidence and its own reading, glosses and source links.
Unisex here means a reviewed record has a unisex classification or both male and female classifications. It does not prove equal current usage, popularity in every age group or suitability for a particular person. A survey may show a strong gender skew even when dictionary categories include both.
Character glosses describe the reviewed spelling. They do not prove every bearer's intended whole-name meaning, and a shared pronunciation does not make two kanji forms equivalent.
Counts refer only to records in this directory whose exact published kanji meet each collection's inclusion rule.
