♡I have to agree with Gerry.
I have seen the names 'Jin' (Japanese artist Jin Nakamura- 中村 仁) and 'Otaki' (Japanese race car driver Kenji Otaki- 大瀧賢治) in Japanese, but not the others.
But that doesn't mean they don't exist! (^_-)-☆
From your list, I like the name Otaki but I think it's a surname.
Just my opinion...
Hope this helps!♡
EDIT: The word benevolence in Japanese is also Jin 仁

It is impossible for Ziyi, Hasian-lin, and Xian to be Japanese names- you can't even spell them with the Japanese orthography!
I've heard Jin used as a boy's name before. Otaki sounds perfectly Japanese; I've no idea if it's a normal name or not.
Some popular endings for boys' names are -maru and -suke. I think -ko is an ending for girls' names. You hear naturey words for girls often enough, such as Sakura (cherry blossom- an extremely popular name), Minami (South,) Aya (uses a kanji for "colorful"), and Tsubasa (Wings, can go for a boy or girl.) -a endings can be just as normal for boys and girls- it doesn't sound "feminine" to the Japanese.
Are you using these as names for characters, or are you planning on naming a real person?

Some of those names aren't Japanese. Most of them are Chinese.
Some of them are nice names, though.

With the exception of Jin and Otaki, the rest are not Japanese names. Try again.

Did anybody watch the movie "MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA", this movie was filmed by Amerian director , but this is a Japanese story, in that movie ,Ziyi Zhang ( a Chinese movie star) acted that geisha .Maybe you get this name from there?
By the way ,I just can be sure that Otaki is the real Japanese name.

It seems that you don't really know much about Japanese names. Just name the baby Sam or Daniel!

Well, seeing as they are Chinese, I would say no.
Now JAPANESE names are more like: Aki, Mariko, Yuka, Mitsuko

Doesn't sound Japanese.
Especially Hasian-lin.
But I guess there's room for new names.
I like Jin.
That's a cool name for a boy.
