重利 SHIGETOSHI

Japanese to English Other Names (personal, company)
This male name reads SHIGETOSHI.
Are there no other ways to read this name?
Thank you.

Ways of reading of Japanese names may vary even if written with the same kanji. If you know for sure that a particular person's name written as 重利 is read as "Shigetoshi", then you should use the reading you are provided with; if you don't know, you'd better ask.

No other way to read / JUURI(Tax word)

If the word is male's name, probably no other way to say "SHIGETOSHI".
In tax field, 重利 is ok to say JUURI, but not for human name

Shigetoshi / Shigekazu

重利 commonly reads Shigetoshi but also 重利 reads Shigekazu.

MariyaN is right. It also reads Shigeri, Fusatoshi, Atsutoshi, etc. Consulting your client will be the best solution for this question.
