MeiMei App for iPhone
     Have you ever wondered what your name means?  Have you ever wondered what your name would mean... in Japanese?  If so, this application is for you!  Keep in mind that this application is for entertainment purposes only!  So don't get mad if your name ends up being something you don't like, or doesn't make sense.
     This is a simple application, so it wont take any effort to learn or be confusing.  Basically you just type your name in and tell it what 'type' of meaning you'd like.  You tell it your gender and click "Create".
     You'll receive one of various backgrounds and the Kanji for your name along with the Romanji and the meaning for each character that, together, make up your name's meaning.  You can even get your results made into a T-shirt (for a price)!
     If you don't like the results you got you can always try again.  You can get a variety of results for your name.  there is bound to be one you are satisfied with.
     This is a fun application to use on your own name, your family and friend's names... pet's names... If you're making a story or a comic, this could also be a useful application to use as a way of naming your characters!
     There is a "How to Use" option on the front screen that explains the application and how it works.  There is also an option that explains the Kanji.
     I really like the Log feature on the front screen because you can scroll through all of the previous results you've gotten.  This way you don't forget your favourites!
     Below are some of the results I have gotten from this app.  You can click on the screen shots to view the larger version.  This will help in reading the text on them.

      This application is affordable at only 0.99 USD.  It also has a share option so you can share your results on your social network of choice.  I found it to be a fun application.  It could also be seen as educational.  It can help you learn different Kanji and the meaning of said Kanji.  If you are studying Japanese, this could be a useful application to have.
     This is not an application I would expect someone to be using on a regular basis.  So I usually wouldn't want to pay.  However, since this application is straight forward and does exactly what it's supposed to do, I think it could be a good purchase, if you are looking for this type of application.  Especially since it has so much variety in results.
