Overall, Haruhiko appears to be the most masculine of the three.
True, this explain why the japanese choiced it. Yet, Haruki feel more natural to me (and other non-japanese speakers, I suppose).

By the way, I make a list of my favourites kanijs for Haruki:
開 (open, unseal) If Kyonko is the key, he is the door right?
啓己 (disclose, open + rough male "I") Same as before, but with the "ore" thing.
晴喜 (clear up + rejoice) Becaus of the "rejoice" part. Also, it is one of the few that are definetly male.
晴基 (clear up + fundation) Cause clearing up fundations is what he do.
暖生東樹 (warm + life + east + wood) Just because it is ridiculous big. I mean, how it is possible have more kanjis then hiraganas?

(feel free to ignore, I just like this kind of stuff)

While on the subject, Yuuki's and Mitsuru's don't seen to be much masculine either. Both only have one way to write that is definetly male.

This site also says that 'Kyon' is female! And that Kyonko does exist, as a female name, amusely, the kanjis, 今武子, means "now", "military" and "child".

Now I wonder if Kyon's name is Imatake (今武). It seens to be the only reading for this kanjis. But '今武子' is 'Kyonko' (not Imatako). Removing the 'ko'(子) we have 'kyon'. Tough neither of this names seens to be very known. Also, don't know it Imatake is royal sounding.
