    I'm really not sure if being the tail of a pine tree is a good thing or not...! Of course, this was using my REAL name.

    Some of the translations are a little strange.

    The first and last parts of each name are apparently generated separately, since, for instance, naka (中) combined with shima (島) is pronounced and transcribed nakajima.

    It seems that the characters might be generated first, then the meanings. The character for "book" is indeed 本, but the same character also means "main" or "base", which is more often its meaning in names. For instance, honda (本田) is main field.

    Well, it's more rare, but "nakashima" is also used. Ofcourse one can't have any special expectations from a random generator of sorts. Like the translations..."nakajima" doesn't mean center of the island, but rather island in a lake or some other enclosed body of water.

    Hm... still the only one of my 'clan', but someone else is also a fast person

    @Tachikaze: 本 should also mean 'original', if the meaning is the same as in Chinese, and most words are.

    Yes, but he already mentioned it indirectly, as an extension of the "base" meaning, therefore including origin, and as an adjective original, inherent etc.
