thanks guys
i would like to thank everyone for the quick reply...thanks a lot for the help...i just wanted to call her something unique...coz that's how she is...

Thank you urs53!

No problem Charly... how did she take it?

The actual translation for "I love you." in Romanian is "Te iubesc." No spaces.

My grandfather, Norwegian, used to call me 'Tup-in' (at least that is the phonetic way to spell it in English. Anyone one what that means in Norwegian?

The Yiddish is not correct the way I was taught.
