does maigo work as a name for a musical artist


I have been pursuing a career in music under the name “Maigo” and I even have
the kanji writing of the word tattooed on myself. Would this make sense in
japan




"Maigo" (迷子 in kanji) is a common Japanese word which normally refers to
[this](https://jisho.org/word/%E8%BF%B7%E5%AD%90), a lost child which you
would see in a department store. Sometimes it can refer to someone who got
lost in general.

Is this what you have in mind (and on your skin)? Whether you like it or not,
a Japanese speaker who heard "maigo" would probably wonder "Does this name
have anything to do with lost children?"

  * If your name has nothing to do with 迷子, you don't have to worry much. A coincidence like this happens often.
  * Or was your name really taken from 迷子? 迷子 is a rather prosaic Japanese word, and it sounds a bit odd as a stage name. Still, being a bit odd is not necessarily bad, so ultimately it's up to you.
