Hi
Hi,
Interesting to see how everbody got their shikona.
Mine is Nashinowawa -- which is directly related to my surname
Parbrook.
Par is a derviation of pear -- Nashi
Brook is a stream or small river -- Kawa
Hence Nashinokawa -- or river of pears.
When I was in Japan I had my name as Nashikawa in Kanji on my
business card -- always a good talking point when I met people.
Cheers
Peter
