    Who do you think has the coolest name of all 48/46 group?
    This could be the whole name, family name, or just the first name.

    In my opinion, it's Muto Tomu.
    Her name is むとうとむ, which is a palindrome (it reads the same forward or backward). That is awesome!
    Her first name kanji (十夢) also means ten dreams, which is also awesome.

    I also like Kanon's name.
    Her name in kanji just looks great: 木本花音
    The first two reads Kimoto, and both kanji look alike.
    The last two reads Kanon, which sounds just like Canon, and they mean flower and sound respectively. Badass.

    I'd also like to mention Yukko, since I read somewhere that her name is Kinoshita Andrea Yukiko. I like that 'Andrea' there.

    So, let's hear your opinions!

    Mukaichi Mion because her name is unique and has a good meaning.
    Mion means "beautiful sound".
    This is also my first time to hear that kind of name.

    I've mentioned this elsewhere before, but Futamura Haruka, only for reading her family name as "Futurama".

    Please elaborate guys

    Yeah she said that on her sousenkyo appeal video. Her mom was a piano teacher so she gave her that name.

    I just like the sounds of their names. 小林 is a cool last name kanji-wise, though. It means small forest.

    I don't know why but I just like Kashiwagi Yuki~ Not only because she's my Oshimen, her given name means "Snow" and I like snow in the winter~

    Obviously have to agree with your choice of Tomu. But I also like Sasshi's when you use her nickname in the middle - Rino "Sasshi" Sashihara. All those S sounds together, it just slides off the tongue in an oddly satisfying way.

    For me, I also Tomu's name, it's just to intriguing, when I first heard her name, I was repeating for like 10 times XD
    I also like Nozofisu's name 川崎希 Kawasaki Nozomi. It just sounds right. And Nozomi does mean wish, which is cute.

    Yabushita Shu, especially when fans chant "Shu" during stages, lol. I like how catchy her given name sounds, it's a more unique one that grabs your attention and is short and sweet.

    Kojina Yui (神志那結衣) because it's rare and she has to explain how to read it every time ^^ also her nickname is quite unique too, Jiina.

    Murayama Yuiri (村山彩希), same here, fans mistake the Yuiri with Ayaki. She even dedicated her last SSK appeal video to correct it [hehe]

    Sound-wise it gotta be Mukaichi Mion, cutest sounding name.

    Shibuya Nagisa, Ino Miyabi, and Jonishi Kei all sound like the names of anime protagonists to me so I always think they sound cool.

    not sure about coolest, but a name I really like is Tomonaga Mio's first name. Mio is a cute name in itself, but in Japanese it's written with the Mi of beauty, and the O comes from the character for cherry blossoms(Sakura). she said before how she wants to blossom into a beautiful cheery blossom just like her name Mio. I think it's amazing how a name as simple as Mio can have such a profound meaning.
    I also like Kusaba Manami's first name. it's written as 愛(Ai) and having that character read as Manami is pretty rare. there's probably a 0% chance anyone would get it right the first time reading it.^^
