Hello, this isn’t a translation question, if anyone’s worried about that!
Lately I’ve been doing some research on Japanese names, changing your name to a Japanese one, kanji, their meanings and how they’re usually picked.
What I’m curious about, but couldn’t find anything on it, is: can meaning of kanji be repeated/reused?
For example, someone has a kanji for a forest both in their name and last name. (林 in their name and let’s say “Mori” is their surname using 森, both mean forest from what I know).
Is it common? Is it even allowed when naming (are there even rules for naming in Japan)? Would it be considered weird, or would people not spare it a second thought?
[if anything is not understandable in my post, I apologise, English ain’t my first language]
