We all love her, no doubt about it! But what does her name actually mean? Im seriously considering calling my daughter it (when i have a daughter that is lol) though i would like to know what it means too

Cheers everyone!

crazy psycho freak girl?

either way is good

To call my daughter Kaolla wouldn't work... may have to be a middle name or something ^_^

I recall seeing a site or even thread on here with this question before

I notice you've asked elsewhere too, drakie

I have? :S i dont remember...
Why wouldnt Kaolla work? Id settle for middle name if the wife were fussy i guess...

Thar be a question floating about the internet that I've spied the last few days

Kaolla wouldn't work because of my surname... Kaolla Alavoine just would not go

i think that doesnt sound bad at all

better than it would with my second name lol
So, basicly there isnt a meaning behind it? Then perhaps as the ASR we should make up a meaning for it

I'm sure I saw a meaning for it at some point... back when the web was teeming with LH sites ><

I don't know if there is a meaning, particularly. The only place I've seen translations lately were on Jupiterstar, and then only for the Japanese characters' names.

And that name doesn't trip off the tongue, drake. There are some that sadly just don't work. It'd have to be a middle name

.... Or a pet's name?

**hinarei** · #10 (**permalink**) 3 Mar 2008, 1:56 pm

if I get a turtle, it'll be called Tama

A cat would be called Kuro...

If I ever have a daughter, Kaolla will be in there somehow

I think ive found out what it means!
Kaolla is a form of Kaora, in Japanese meaning "Aroma"
Consulting our Princess' underwear this seems accurate XD
Case closed!

**hinarei** · #12 (**permalink**) 9 Mar 2008, 5:53 pm

...and because she's not Japanese, it was spelled a more Western way, correct?

Kaora means aroma? But does a Suu, by any other name, smell as sweet?

**Mr.Anderson** · #13 (**permalink**) 10 Mar 2008, 11:05 am

Actually, 'Suu' (すう) means 'To inhale' or 'to breathe'.
But it kind of depends on with which characters you write it.
吸う (kanji suck/imbible/inhale/sip + u) means to smoke/to breathe in/to suck.
喫う (kanji consume/eat/drink/smoke/receive (a blow) + u) means to smoke.
You could also write it as this; 数 (kanji number/strength/fate/law/figures) which make the meaning figure or number.
And last 芻 which make it either grass cutting or hay (also the meaning of the kanji).

Going from what the first name was 'Aroma' I think the last name means 'To inhale' or 'To breathe in'. What seems to fit best would be 'To inhale aroma'.
