Hej Troy,

Follow the link below to a site that might help you. Be sure to read
the warning about translating names into another language: what
might be a fine name in English could mean something offensive or
nonsensical in another language. As my old advertising instructor
used to tell us, the Chevy Nova didn't sell well in Spanish speaking
countries because "no va" means (roughly) "no go" and who wants a car
called "no go"?

Anne

if the link doesn't work, you can find it on one of the other pages
on the site.
