How do you come up with their names and their designs for Dazatsu kids?

a lot of googling LOL i wanted their names to reflect a bit on their personalities and a bit on how i think atsushi (and dazai) would want the kanji to be.
michiko “a child of a thousand beauties” comes from dazai. he named her that because he knew she would grow up to being a beauty (also he’s also a big girl dad)
ayumu “walk/dream” this came from atsushi, he thought it was romantic sounding LOL

i wanted them to look a little similar to their fathers. ayumu is the only two who actually came out looking more like dazai than anything. while michiko only got atsushi’s hair 😭 i could imagine she looks like either of their parents.
but a mutual suggested the raccoon tails for michiko too LOL i really liked the idea.
