Please don't do this. It'd be a horrible horrible gift to your daughter from you. Unless either of the parents have some relation to Japan (preferably as a direct descendant but something like being a researcher that researches about the country etc. would be fine too I guess), your child is going to have a really tough time avoiding quizzical looks from people around her. And even if she grows up not to care about that, it'd be bloody tedious to explain it every time she gets asked. Nagisa really isn't what you'd expect a full-blooded American to be named and you can't really help but give a funny look at an American girl with that name. Unless you were an anime enthusiast which would mean that meeting an American girl with that name for this particular reason would make your day. But most people aren't anime enthusiasts and you don't want to force your whims onto your daughter unless you absolutely must.

Using it as a middle name or an in-the-house-only nickname sounds good fun though. If she tells you to drop it by the time she understands how she got it though, you had better.
