I want to give one of those "name a star" gifts for my Korean girlfriend. <3 I learned how to write her name in Korean and thought it'd be cool if I could name a star for her IN KOREAN (use her Korean name). Anyone know if that's possible? Where or which site offers that? The one's I asked couldn't do in korean. :(  Help! Birthday coming up!  lol

Save your money, or buy her something of real value.  "Star Registries" are a rip-off the government refuses to shut down, primarally because the companies hide behind the first ammendment.\n\nThe IAU, International Astronmical Union, and just about every respectable astronomical entity do not recognize any such registries.  The stars are named and labled according to an organized system.  "Buying" a star name merely gets it written in a book that will be published and put on a shelf to collect dust in the Liberary of Congress, because all books end up there.\n\nMoreover, the star you will get named will be a Magnitude 5 or 6 if not higher which is barely visable to the human eye in an unpopulated area with low light and good seeing conditions.  The main reason for this is that most of the stars that can easily be seen already have names set by tradition and confirmed by the IAU.  The companies that sell star names know better than stepping on the IAU's and all serious astronomer's toes directly.  Her star would be lost among the mutitude of other stars present in the sky around it.\n\nSorry to burst any bubbles out there, but the truth needs to be heard.  I hope you can find something else nice for your girlfriend.

There are LOTS of potential kanji for this! But my favourite site which has gifs of the kanji is down, so I hope you can see Japanese fonts on your computer!!\nKyo (きょ) possibilities;\n巨 meaning big; large; great\n歔  meaning cry\n倨 meaning pride\nKyou (きょう) possibilities, (this just makes the 'o' vowel sound a bit longer); \n興 meaning interest; entertainment; pleasure \n今日 meaning today; this day\n劫 meaning threat; long ages\n香 meaning lance (this one's an abbreviation.)\n匡 meaning correct; save; assist\n凶 meaning evil; bad luck; disaster; bad harvest \n経 meaning sutra; Buddhist scriptures \n僑 meaning temporary home \n脅 meaning threaten; coerce\n匈 meaning turmoil; Hungary\n兇 meaning wickedness \n供 meaning offer; present; submit; serve (a meal); supply\n強 meaning a little over; a little more than (this is used as a suffix.)\n協 meaning cooperation; \n狂 meaning (some type of) enthusiast; (2) somebody possessed of a (certain kind of) mental abnormality\n\nThe 'ko' that was used at the end of girls' names in the past (it's not used very often these days,) is this;\n子 meaning child.\nThat's why it's not used very often now - you've got all these adult women with 'child' at the end of their name! It's a bit silly really, but you could always use a different 'ko' if you want!\n弧 meaning arc\n巨 meaning big; large; great\n古 meaning old (this is normally a prefix.)\n\nWell, that's all I can find with the help of one of my favourite sites http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C\nbut there are probably lots of other, more obscure variations ... when it comes to names, people seem to pluck ideas out of thin air sometimes!\n; )\n\nCyn was right! I forgot the obvious one!!\n京 meaning city / metropolis!! That's the Kyou in Kyoto AND Tokyo! I don't know how I managed to forget it! It also means 10 quadrillion (in American) a 1 with 16 zeros after it!!

Dude!!! That hitomi girl has put up a post regarding you stealing her joke! Are you sure you asked her permission? And in what language?- Japanese? English? Chinese?\nDo something before she sobs and does something zany like copyrighting the joke!\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnUOXV00ioSuIPa0ZEtCs4_zy6IX?qid=1006040411915\n\nBy the way, joke was good.

If I remember right it costs about $50 USD.  Technically its a scam as the name of your star is only recorded in a book that is a part of the library of congress, but its still a neat gift idea.  It wouldn't matter if astronomers found out it were a planet, they would name it something they felt was appropriate...in fact they probably wouldn't ever know that you named it.

Hi; I do appreciation baskets quite often.  I start with a pretty basket I find at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/or any Craft store; know your budget.  Fill with lotion, candles, gift certificate to dinner or movie, nice card telling how much that person means to you.  Add anything special that they collect ... I know our pastor's wife loves pretty journals and pens; anything personal that shows you "thought" about them -- that's the trick.  I recently did this and included the other ladies by having them "donate" to her -- like a money tree -- we gave her the money and it really blessed her.  Also, I had the ladies write down a blessing or special note of appreciation to her and included that in a beautiful china cup for her to read later.  I didn't just use one poem, I used a bunch of blessings -- a basket full of blessings.  Have fun!  She will be blessed just because you thought of her!

do you eat ramun or kimchi? do you use cellular phones from LG? cars from Hyundai? it could get awkward if you start pointing out and emphasizing everything Korean, but it'd be nice if she could walk down the street and "just happen to notice" a humongous Samsung billboard.\n\nas for activites or games, i'd suggest that you provide a mix of games familiar to you and one or two Korean games (I'd suggest Yutnori). she can learn the games that she will probably be playing while living with your family and the Korean game will be "just for fun" while showing respect and curiosity for her culture. just make sure that most of those games are easy to follow and are more up to chance than skill or experience. cant have the guest losing at every game!\n\nalso show a slight interest in Korea (because Koreans tend to be fiercely proud of Korea when in foreign countries). some of the things that they are very proud about is their alphabet (oh how scientific and unique!), their food, their martial arts (tae kwon do, not karate), their supposed superior math skills, and the people.\nAlways remember to call the Sea of Japan, the "East Sea," if ever you should have to mention it.\n\nas for getting to know her better, i can't think of anything more helpful to say than to treat her like everybody else. I have been the "third culture kid" so long, and i know how irritating it is when people start to focus on my "foreigness" way too long. Never imitate her accent or excessively comment on Korea. Don't wink at her everytime you have ramun, and (this is what so many people tend to do) do NOT start every conversation with her with a question on Korea (although this is excusable on the first day).\n\ni've rambled on far too long, i think, but I do have one more suggestion. I know that many Americans do not really care about soccer or the World Cup. Someday, show her the excitement of football or baseball or foosball or whatever. But if you really don't mind which soccer team makes it on the World Cup, a great idea is for you root with her for the Korean team whenever there is a significant match. Not all Koreans care about soccer, but ALL OF THEM root for their soccer team (it is a big thing for them). Wear lots of RED, on the day of the match!

You can go to this website: http://chineseculture.about.com/library/name/blname.htm\n\nSelect the beginning letter for your co-worker's name and under the specified category of either male or female.  Once you choose the English name, and it will give you the Chinese lettering for that name.\n\nI hope this helps and have fun!

♡Well, I'm not Japanese either, but my hubby is and he pretty much agrees with yozora's hubby, in that at least it's worded correctly and it's not offensive to him. ～It's just plain silly, he actually laughed.(*^o^*) But he said some Japanese T shirts say pretty strange things, so, whatever! I had some of my 'girl' friends over for lunch the other day and I showed it to them... they all giggled! (I live in Japan by the way.) They thought it was amusing that some guy might actually wear that. They said they wouldn't want to be seen with a guy wearing that though. You could probably get a nice Japanese girlfriend easily without the shirt they said. A smile would probably do it. 'Chotto hazukashii!' they said. ～I agree with you, I find it amusing too and the design is in good taste, but I personally wouldn't wear it. (*^o^*)Then again what do I know?♡

It is usually easier to find the celeb's representation or agent. address the gift there.\n\nOr, if it is someone who lives in Los Angeles, I might be able to find you an address, depending on who it is.  Email me.

I like Prior for a 2nd name...though I don't like Jackie,it reminds too much of Jackie Chan,if you want my opinion...but there are a lot of nice names that start from "J".\nFor starters two great J names are Jessica and Jennifer,but there are too many Jessicas and Jennifers at Hollywood,so unless you don't have a problem,I would suggest you Jane,or,even better Jill(there aren't too many Jills and it's a nice name).\nI also am interested in the entertainment business,I am going to e-mail you and please answer me...\nWho knows,maybe one day we will both have made our dreams come true.\nSo,I suggest Jill Prior...
