I'm looking for a unique male japanese name that would sound ok in both
english and japanese. Japanese names sound cool, so I am in search of a male
japanese name for myself. Most nice names were taken by many other people, so
I'm now considering ねこがみ and ねこやま which don't seem used a lot by people.
Another name derived from ねこ that I just figured out is 猫村(ねこむら).

Is it ok for a man to call himself by one of these names in japan? Would it
sound like a mere nickname? How do I better find a cool male japanese name
that isn't used much by people?

question
names
Is 猫神(ねこがみ) or 猫山(ねこやま) a crazy male japanese name to have?
I'm not sure what exactly you're going to do with this but there are websites
like [this](http://myoji-yurai.net/) where you can look up top rare last names
as well as [this site](http://topic-good.com/archives/2099.html) shows some
first names for men that are more rare. If you're really looking for a "one-
of-a-kind" name you can look into キラキラネーム which are names that are legal (in
terms of kanji usage) but put the reading of the characters at their limits.

Whether or not it's 'okay' to call yourself one of these names in Japan is
probably up to you.
