A little history
Japanese names consist of a surname and a given name, for example Kurono Kei, Nishi Juichiro, Kishimoto Kei. There is no such thing as a middle name in Japanese. When writing a name, the surname always comes first, i.e. Juichiro is the name, although a Russian person will almost certainly decide the opposite. When communicating simply by name, the Japanese rarely address each other by name, even if people are in very close, informal relationships - lovers, family members, very close friends, including in an informal setting. For the Japanese, a name is a very personal, intimate thing.
The suffix “-hime” was added to the end of the names of girls from noble families. It is often translated as "princess", but in fact it was used to refer to all noble ladies.
The suffix “-gozen” was used for the names of samurai wives. They were often called simply by their husband's surname and rank. Personal names of married women were practically used only by their close relatives.
For the names of monks and nuns from the noble classes, the suffix “-in” was used.
The most common Japanese surnames now are Suzuki, Tanaka, Yamamoto, Watanabe, Saito, Sato, Sasaki, Kudo, Takahashi, Kobayashi, Kato, Ito, Murakami, Oonishi, Yamaguchi, Nakamura, Kuroki, Higa.
Most Japanese girl names end in "-ko" ("child") or "-mi" ("beauty"). Girls, as a rule, are given names associated in meaning with everything beautiful, pleasant and feminine. Unlike male names, female names are usually written in hiragana rather than kanji.
Some modern girls do not like the ending “-ko” in their names and prefer to omit it. For example, a girl named "Yuriko" might call herself "Yuri".

All female Japanese names
Prefixes in Japanese:
Last name + “san” is a universal polite address;
Last name + “sama” – an address to government members, company directors, and clergy.
Last name + “sensei” – an address to martial arts masters, doctors, as well as professionals in any field;
Last name + “kun” – addressing teenagers and young men, as well as senior to junior or superior to inferior (boss to subordinate);
Name + “chan” (or “chan”) - addressed to children and among children under ten years of age; parents' appeal to their children of any age; in an informal setting - to loved ones and close friends.
In Japan, there is still a law, preserved from the Middle Ages, according to which husband and wife must have the same surname. This is almost always the husband's surname, but there are exceptions - for example, if the wife is from a noble, famous family. However, it is still not the case in Japan that spouses have a double surname or each their own.
