used as a first name?
edit- eep, let me clarify myself, but thanks to the answers i've gotten so far! (- v -)!!
I'm wanting to use the name 'Sakuma' for a character in my story (I'm practicing my skills in drawing manga, and am planning to give him the family name 'Sakurai'). I like to be accurate with names, so I just wanted to confirm if it's legitimate to use 'Sakuma' as a person's given name rather than a family name.
