I always wondered, are there any rules for using the suffixes (san/sama/chan/kun/hime) after names? How does it work?

Answer #2
Thanks
So, is -hime the female version of -sama? I can’t find it anywhere
Answer #3
-dono: This comes from the word "tono", which mean "lord." It is an even higher level than "sama," and confers utmost respect.
-hime: This one comes from the word "hime" which means "princess" ("tono" and "hime" came be used with out the person's name)

Answer #4
Thanks, must have missed it
