what's in a name?

hi! aishoni @ aina des.. *1st time posting here...am nervous ^^;;*
i've done some searching for the meaning of the boys name at wiktionary 
i'm just wondering if it's accurate or not, or maybe there's other kanji used to represent their names

Aiba Masaki 相葉雅紀
-相 (ai) mutual, reciprocal, each other
-葉 (ba / ha) a leaf, a needle, a blade
-雅 (masa/miyabiyaka/tsune) elegant, graceful, refine
-紀 (ki) record, historical account

Matsumoto Jun 松本潤
-松 (matsu) a pine / a pine branch decorated for the celebration of New Year
-本 (moto) root, origin, source / basis
-潤 (jun) soft, moist / sleek / freshen

Ninomiya Kazunari 二宮和也
-二 (ni) two twice
-宮 (miya) palace, temple, dwelling
-和 (kazu) harmony, peace, peaceful, calm, and
-也 (nari) too, also classical final particle of strong affirmation or identity

Ohno Satoshi 大野智
-大 (oo / ookii / ooini) means big, powerful, etc. / big, great, vast, large, high
-野 (no) open country, field or wilderness
-智 (satoshi / chi) wisdom, knowledge, intelligence

Sakurai Sho 櫻井翔
-櫻 (sakura) cherry blossom
-井 (i) a well
-翔 (sho) soar, glide, hover/ detailed

i'm not studying nihongo atm, this is just out of curiosity :P
hopefully someone with better nihongo skills would confirm the correct meanings.

my favourite is Ohno Satoshi = vast field of knowledge, but phoneticly sounds pleasing is Ninomiya Kazunari 
what do you gals/guys(is there any?) think about how the meaning of their names represent their personality?

it's true
however, the 野 when means 'wilderness' usually goes with negative meanings, like 野蛮 (savage/uncivilized)
therefore 野 is more used as 'field'
we can understand it as his potential is hidden somewhere inside the big field, and he's on his way to discover all of it <-- yeah, ARASHI DISCOVERY is hosted by him XD

this is interesting, thank you for open this topic so that I have an excuse to type these up XD <-- looked into it since a long time already but never write it down ^^;

ah, souka! thanks ^^
ohno can be such a mystery sometimes XD

this just peaks my interest to learn the language properly
keep the comments coming minna!

yeah ohno is a mystery
base on my own experience, people born in November are weird people (like me)
and guys born in October are hot XD, and guys born in June = smart, dorky and mathematician
well, it doesn't apply to everyone though XD

yeah I'd love to learn Jap too, I registered for classes a few times but never had time to attend =_= all my Jap knowledge is from TV...

back to the topic
I remember when I was looking up for Jun's name, it says that 潤 when pronounced as 'Jun', is a girl's name XD, guys usually have that kanji pronounced as Atsushi, Shigeru, Hikaru, Hiroshi or Masaru
I thought it was quite amusing ^^

and I also think that Ninomiya Kazunari sounds the best ^^ <-- no I'm not being biased XD

"潤 when pronounced as 'Jun', is a girl's name XD"
that explains a lot! XDDDD

Ninomiya Kazunari sounds sooo yasashii.. <-- not being biased also :P
but i do think 也 is 'sum of money' XD
but if its 'too/also', then Kazunari = peacefull too (??.. taking it too literary :P)
i believe he is peaceful despite the fact that he's obviously moody person. he does strive for harmony & dislike chaos *am analyzing too much ^^''*

"潤 when pronounced as 'Jun', is a girl's name XD"

of course, just look at this XD

Kazu-chan's name is probably most difficult to explain...
if take away that 'money' thing XD, I see it this way,
"even though Nino appears as a naughty dorky boy, he has his peaceful side too"
"even though Nino was unsocialize, he can also harmonize/mix with others easily too"

I don't know which meanings Nino's parents want, but seems like all the possible meanings for those kanji suit him ^^; especially the money thing
