Kaoru = means something like to smell good

Kami = God; ya = valley --> valley of God?


This was taken from here.

Your first name of Kaoru has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people. This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances. You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating. You enjoy freedom from monotony and are stimulated by unexpected opportunities for meeting people, entertaining, or pursuing activities of a carefree nature. In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly. You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine. Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success. You could experience headaches, or problems with your teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses. Health weaknesses relative to the functioning of the liver could appear.

My say:  Well, this analysis seems to be right on target, creepily enough.  It was especially accurate in the part where it said that Kaoru can be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult circumstances, as showed by her reaction towards Yahiko, Megumi, Misao, and countless of other souls.  But the artistic creative abilities seems to be a load of bull.  After all, Kaoru is a warrior, first and foremost, not an artist, so I don't think so. Xp  As for her desire to be carefree, friendly and happy as her driving force in life, that seems  to be pretty accurate too, seeing how guileless Kaoru is. ^_^x
