Regular Member onefish3 Posted August 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey there, been awhile since I've been on. I have a new oranda that needs a name. It's yellow-bellied w/ a black stripe and moustache, but I kinda think it's a girl. Any ideas? Would especially like something short and Japanese. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jyoti411 Posted August 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 In japanese moustache = hige yellow = ki, kiiro black = kuro bee (since a cartoon bee is always black and yellow, I thought you can use this) = hachi stripe = shima, suji lemme know if you like something.. ...I loved Shima... ..ohh and pics please... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member onefish3 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Wow, thanks for so many good suggestions so fast. If I can figure out how to send pics from my phone to photobucket, I'll post them. Been using my PDA for all my internet access and it makes things trickier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member onefish3 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well, I toyed around with the name Komi (I think it translates into beautiful child), but I liked the sound of Kuroshima so much better that I went with that. Thanks for the help! I hope I can figure out how to post pics for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
