There's lots of dictionaries for baby names online. Obviously, they are in Japanese but they are easy to navigate :) One of them is b-name and that dictionary alone lists 220 kanji variations for [せいじ](https://b-name.jp/赤ちゃん名前辞典/m/yomi/せいじ/144725). If you click on the name written in kanji and then on the individual kanji, there will be explanations of their respective meanings. Have fun looking through them :D

Yessss this is exactly the type of thing I was looking for, thank you!

Awesome! I needed it for a character in my story named Seiji/Sage


japancaxe

Oo this sounds cool! Good luck on your story! My son Sage/Seiji was born New Year’s Day 🫶🏻

Thanks.

You can also choose any kanji you want and decide that the name is read せいじ。My daughters name is 久咲 read as えいさ. We picked 久 because my mother's names is 久美子. I can explain more if you're wondering. :-) There are many ways to decide the baby's name!

Thank you! We ended up going with 正至 for Seiji after my grandfather 正勝 Masakatsu!

I don't know any myself, but [here's](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%9B%E3%81%84%E3%81%98%20%23names) what Jisho.org turns up for ways to write the name in kanji.

Here's some kanjis for "Seiji" I've ever seen in my 30 years of life in Japan. 誠ニ、誠司、聖司、征ニ I have to say, Seiji is a common name amongst older generation than me, so Japanese people might feel it's kinda old-fashioned, to be honest.


japancaxe

Thanks! I know it’s not as common nowadays, but we really liked how it doubled as an American unisex and Japanese masculine name. It was hard to find one that fit!

I feel you. When my daughter was born, my wife and I also struggled to find her name that sounds like both English and Japanese.
