This is again one of the things I often keep thinking about... I know my last name -- which is Kentta (a is actually with two dots over it) -- has a certain meaning but my first name doesn't really. And I've found so many stories of it's origin and meaning that I wouldn't be at all surprized if none of them was right (maybe there is still one more).

I tried that danish translation thing as well and my first name turned out as o-u-chi. not so far away, except I don't pronounce "ti" as it would be pronounced in english, but rather like thi (not excactly that either, something inbetween). Maybe I'll go try again...

I wish I had as universal name as Anne, since everyone always has such a hard time learning to pronounce my name. Usually they end up calling me something else...
