A compliment in Japanese I am looking for a good Japanese translation for a compliment you could give a person after being introduced and learning their name: "Ah, a pretty name for a pretty girl." How would one translate that to Japanese? Here's what I can come up with: Aa, kirei na onamae tame ni kirei na onnanohito?Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It's hard to give this in a complete sentence, as it is meant to be a complete sentence. The context is a boy meets a girl, she introduces herself and gives her name, and he wishes to give her a compliment back by saying she has a pretty name. It is a bit of flirting perhaps. This may not have an equivalent in Japanese.
