There are often different ways and scripts to say the same word in Japanese. Usually one is great, the others secondary or very lightly used. (Thats why you will find many of these secondary terms still open to register)

Make sure you check Japanese overture for popularity and searches, and also google with "quote" marks around the term to look for total uses and relevant website pages.
