Tiny BJDs official names translated for you~ (Korean->English)

Sep 14, 2006

    1. I'm really sorry but I can't translate the cartoon cos it's too hard to distinguish between where one word stops and the next one starts in koran. You also have lots of different meanings for the same syllable which often are an irrelevant particleand shouldn't be translated separately.

      From what I gather she is saying big sister is too beautiful, but I'm really not sure ^^;
       
    2. Well at least that's something! Thanks!

      What do you think Bambicrony means? I always thought it was an odd name for a doll company. Although crony in English means "A longtime close friend or companion" it's often used in sort of a negative way as "old cronies".

    3. I think it's just a cute made up word. It's not Korean ^^

      I guess whoever thought it up didn't know the nuances of the word crony when they used it! That's kinda cute I think
       
    4. This is just my own theory but I think the Elf Elly name Dio comes from Dior meaning "golden". :)
       
    5. Bambi means baby in Italian, I think. ^_^
       
    6. ahh i was searching high and low for this thread and finally found it, subscribed now! :) (which i should have done last time already)
      again, this is a nice list and this time around i am getting an elf elly Banji, and wanted to know what her doll name meant, so thanks again for this list :D
       
    7. That's ok! I try my best to make it accurate ^^
       
    8. When I ordered my Binu from SecretDoll, I asked them what her name meant. They said that in Korean, "Binu" means "soap"......therefore, the name stands for "purity, innocence, etc." I thought that was really cool, and it's definitely playing into any name that I decide to choose for my new girl! :)
       
    9. Thanks for posting this info.

      Sooooo, my little MinDelRe = Dandelion?? How cute!!

      and... little Bongie = Balsam? she sure soothes and makes me smile with her cute expression.
