Juu Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wrist cutter [/i] [B]Do you speak Korean, Juu? Anyway, you're correct. I have a few Korean friends who have been teaching me their language at a very slow rate. The writing systems do have some similarities in that characters do not impart a single sound but a full syllable - however in Japanese, it is just consanant + vowel. In Korean, I believe you can combine up to four sounds into one character... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink] [size=1]I speak Korean fluently. ^_^ My parents are more comfortable with Korean, so I use both korean and English at home. You can combine up to three sounds, actually. The fourth one is pretty silent, but a few make a more noticable sound than the others... Counting is alot like Japanese. 1) Ichi-il 2) ni- ee 3) san-sam 4) shi-za (er... yeah) 5) go/o- o I guess they're kinda similar... But yeah, anyway... Lauren, your name would sound like, Lo-Len, with the second 'L' sound pressured a little more. (In korean..)[/color] [/size]
Duo Maxwell Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 My name is Zippy Applechunks! Zippy- means fast and well you can get what Applechunks means... Okay so that's not my real name, but its a good name.. Alright, my real name is Monique Monique is the french version of the latin name Monica which means Advisor. And my other name Lea which means Fatigued ... so I'm a tired advisor? I know exctly where my mum got my name from and its a story I'm not proud of so it shll not be reapeted here... or to anyone at all. Sadly I'm the only Monique living in my street... possibly my suburb.. or my city!! heh.. now that's a lie and I know it, but I have as much trouble as Ashlee does with finding things with my name on it, in fact I've never found one at all. Rain, I have a couple of friends with the same spelling as you
future girl Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 my name is sarah, i can't understand how people spell it wrong, but they do. they ask, is it with an h and i say yes so they write sahara, i'm not a desert. anyways, my full name is sarah isabel martinez. my first name comes from my great grandmother who died in a big earthquake in nicaragua. no remains of her body were found except for a red shoe and the long braid she always wore. i always thought that was pretty cool. as for my middle name it comes from my grandmother on my father's side. she was a bit whorish, and nobody knew where she was born or who her family was. Not even her age, at her death we had to take a wild guess. i know sarah means princess, which is pretty sappy, but oh well, as for isabel i'm not so sure, i forgot. my mom calls me chabela which i hate and i dubbed myself isarabel, so they call me that in school,...sometimes. the greatest thing about my name i suppose are my first and last name initials, s & m. hahaha, that's great, sado masachism, get it??? :D

Barra Maral Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 First: COREY m English Pronounced: KOR-ee From a surname which was possibly either derived from the Old Norse given name Kori (of unknown meaning), or else meant "ravine" in Gaelic Middle: RYAN m,f Irish, English Pronounced: RIE-an From a surname which was originally derived from an Irish first name which meant "little king" (from Irish rà "king" combined with a diminutive suffix). In Cairo, Egypt, they actually spell Cairo as Caire, thusly i get my last name: CAIRO m English From the name of the city in Egypt, called Al Qahirah in Arabic, which was derived from al Qahir, the Arabic name of the planet Mars

Sky Moonflow Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Mellisa Rose McCareson I have no idea what my name means. But I think it has somethig to do with a flower considering my middle name is Rose.
Juu Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Hey, kewl! ^_^ You're the second person I've seen with Mellisa spelled that way! ^_^ Although, it's kinda scary how you and my friend are both named 'Mellisa Rose...' Although, her last name is different, of course. ^_^;[/color] [/size]
Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted January 2, 2003 Author Posted January 2, 2003 There are so many names in the English language that are spelled different ways. No wonder it's such a hard language to learn. Like the name Sara...Sara, Sarah....wait, that's only 2...I know there are more...... And maybe Japanese isn't that hard to learn....!
Queen Asuka Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 [color=royalblue][size=1]My real name is Kimberly Victoria. I love my name to death. They call me Tori for short. And that's cute, too. I'm going to name my daughter Arianna Rose, though. ^_^[/color][/size]
Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted January 2, 2003 Author Posted January 2, 2003 You do have a pretty name QA. I like it. ^_^ I know I sound so wierd, but I think I might give my kids weird Japanese nicknames. Like something from an Anime.....maybe not..........0_o
Queen Asuka Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 [color=royalblue][size=1]Thank you, thank you! ^_^ I used to want to name my kids Japanese names. I think that's a phase that alot of people go through who are big into anime. I used to want a Kasumi and a Sakura. Those names are so cutesy![/color][/size]
Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted January 2, 2003 Author Posted January 2, 2003 Well, maybe not a strange name like an object or thing (like I mean I wouldn't name my kid Gohan or something outragious like that)....

Actually, I've been begging my parents if I could have my name as either 'Tori' or 'Kimberly' since we moved to the U.S.. You're so lucky, Asuka. :whoops:[/color] [/size]

Ellerby Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 My name is Stephen (STEE-VEN) not (STE-FAN) My parents named me that because it means "Crowned One" in Greek! Isn't that nice of them! It's funny because my bro's name (bryan) means high or noble!If you wanted I could tell you what your name means in different languages. (if u dont no alredy)
Xra Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 This is weird.... My name, being William Abeel(yes i have a middle name but that's not the point) In German, means Determined Gardian(seriously), but I'm Italian and not a spec German :eek:Freaky....
Na'dou Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 My name is Jana' (Ja-nay) That's how it's pronounced....Most of my teachers always call me Jana (Jan-na. I don't mind when people call me Jana (Jay-na), but I can't stand it when my teachers call me the other name...I don't know why my mother named me that, and I think my name means sad or something...I'm not sure, but I do know my mom didn't know that...It really fits if you look at it....I like it when my mom calls me Jana' Len (Jay-na Lyn) I'm sure you can guess that that's my middle name...
Bremma Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Well, mine is Heather Ann Selbe. No e on the ann. I hate that. my last name is like a word for self in German... but my first name is a type of flower! My last name is slaughtered at times. Its like Sell-be, but i get Selb, thinki it has a slient e, and even Sel-e-ble (idiot sub..) it also gets misspelled like Selby and Selbie.
