A lot of people go this route. And this is a bloody neat tool to help you do so!

We chose not to though with our son though, since the list of names that works in both is small and largely unappealing. The list of names for girls is quite a bit larger with some good options. Instead we decided that since the family name is English the given name should be Japanese.

I think it worked out quite well.
