Greg's Japanese name translation thingy

Okay, here's the thread Greg.

Can you do mine please?

What's "Iain"?

 

Now you know that's he's going to come back witrh something about a Ginger Ninja

You're being very trusting with this. I'm surprised he told me what mine is

 

I knew it would happen, here goes,

Iain / Ian both tranlate as Shinkei meaning gods grace.

 

Actually Rich, I was waiting on Ginger Ninjer or something similar

Cheers Greg, I had a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses at the door about ten minutes before seeing your post (fact), if they had been later, I could have told them about how my name translates from English into Kanji and back to English
They never asked to come in, they just dropped off a pamphlet, mentioned a bit about the book of Mark and left. Nice, polite and very well dressed.

 

Could of been worse it could of been GKR knocking

 

whats mine then? and not shirley!!!!

 

YOU MUST BE JOKING!!!

None of your type!! Shirley is Sougen though meaning meadow!!

 

My name is Douglas or Dubh Glass in Gaelic this name means dark water or black water. it is water in the sense of a river or lake (like Etrick water or Annan water) so it could be Kuro Mizu or Kura/i Mizu or maybe Kuro Kawa or Kura/i Kawa.

 

what is Kevin?

 

Hi All

if you want to know what your name means use this site.

http://www.takase.com/Names/Names.htm

it has your western name.
what your name means
your name in katakana and hiragana
what your name means translated into japanese
the kanji for your name in japanese

 

HI

an example if your using that site

Kevin (name)
kebin (pronounced in Japanese)
Handsome (meaning of the name)
otokomae (meaning translated into Japanese)
ケビン (katakana)
けびん (hiragana)
男前 (Otokamae in kanji)

If you cant view the Kanji and your using IE then do the following


click 'view' - 'encoding' - then select 'Japanese auto select'

then you should be able to see it

 

They spelled my name wrong. There will be payment! :yeleyes:

"Deena"
dina
judgment
hantei

 

in hebrew my name means, defensive
in old english it is, girl from the valley

What is a girl from the valley? What does that mean? I'm calm / peaceful?

 

It means you're Welsh, haha

 

Hi

Deena means Valley which is Tani

Dina

Dinah
http://www.babynames.com/Names/name_display.php?n=DINAH

 

Hi

if your name is Deena and your saying Dina is wrong then you need to understand the reaosn they have put Dina.

the Japanese do not use western names, therefore they use the phonetic alphabet (Katakana) to make up words which or non-japanese.

therefore Deena is pronounced DI (I is pronouced as an E) NA

Therefore in Japanese Dina is correct and its how they will say your name.

My name is Paul, and the Japanese dont use the letter 'L' so my name is pronounced as Poru

 

like, ohmygawd, Kali is a, like a Valley Girl, eeeeehhh!! (Do they still have Valley Girls these days?)

 

Right Greg, whats mine then?

Cheers for the links Paul, but there is something quite nice about Greg doing the running around, sort of like my own personal assistant!



ps.. and Greg whilst your at it a nice cheese sandwich and a pint of stella!

 

Something sweet and innocent about being a valley girl though, don't you think? I had visions of a Swiss milk-maid with a yoke over her neck or a buxom farmer's daughter.

 

Not that kind of Valley Girl....like, okay?
