Category:Names for kajira and kajirus

=Names for Kajirae and Kajirus ...= Most eastern languages do not insert the vowels, therefore in transliterations "ee" and i" are negotiable. Likewise endings of "a" and "ah". If you do not find your name as a woman's name, try looking under men's name with an ending variation. Inclusion of names does not necessarily indicate acceptability as dancer names, but every attempt was made to find appropriate ones. Those which seemed to be purely religious were omitted.
