    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.

    Cool site though.

    For a warrior culture, the Japanese have some really hippy trippy names.

    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.
