Since it's a Japanese car, I'd like a Japanese female name that means fast or swift or something like that. But my Japanese is limited to what I've picked up from anime :biggrin: any ideas?

Bulma...
God I've always hated her name... I think her name is actually Buruma in the original Japanese which is a brand of gym shorts... and Bulma is from the word bloomers... So I don't think I'll name my car after underwear:biggrin:

Kei-Ko
Hmmm I kinda like it... does it mean any thing? (maybe it means large aquatic mammal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_(orca))):wink:

Igor?
Yes, maaaaaster...
"You try to get Igor, but but Igor get you!"

kyuusoku.
That's a mouth full... Does it mean any thing?

Mine is Hosi. (Star). Find a word or thing that you like and find the Jpanese translation. Thats what I did.

Well my wife looked it up she says Jinsoku means "quick, prompt, or speedy" which is cool but I'm not sure it sounds female... She suggested Jinsoki, but that doesn't sound right at all... Any one who speaks Japanese or knows more then I do got any ideas?

It means Quick, Fast

I kinda like it but like I said it's a mouth full If I remember correctly you would pronounce both U's as separate syllables like kyu-u-so-ku (and if i added chan on the end....) maybe kyu-chan?

I just ran it through two different translators and came up with a different meaning on that one. Quiet Responce was the second meaning so I'll have to dig a bit more when I get a chance. You could always go with Hayai

I think it is something like "oh shit, A-10!!!"



ok ok...so a bit is not there in translation and it loses its finesse however it is still better than:

wait for it!








wait for it!

Kei-Ko is a girls name, Keiko. Kei cars are the under 1 liter small cars in Japan and ko means small or child.:wink:

if you want a japanese name that has to do with cars? what about Reina Akikawa

She is from a manga called Wangan Midnight. She drives a white R32. =D There is also an amazing arcade game based off it called Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune... so badass...

That's pretty cool.... I think I would go for it if she was under 1 liter...
I think I'm leaning towards Hayai or Sayuki...
