Your Quote: ":There is always time and always another koi!"
From your lips to God's ears... Last December, I finished what was supposed to be my last project... It was going to be Surf, surf, and more surf... Then I fell for the girls and once again its December and I'm finishing a second pond...
Re: Giving the southern belles Hawaiian Names... Don't think so, so far all of our koi except for Brady's Yama, all came from Japan and all are named after famous Japanese women of the Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa periods... Brady's Yamabuki is named KinChan because of 24k gold color...
Somehow Lokelani, Mapuana or Kalei just doesn't sound right... Oh yeah, stupid me, I just remembered I asked Brady for nisai males, sooooo, we'll probably name them after the aforementioned gals husbands or significant others... Our Female Kohaku is Matsu, so I guess Brady's male will be Toshiro, Our sanke is Ohtsu so the male showa will be Mushashi, etc....after all Brady's koi are AJA, Americans of Japanese Ancestry, (remember that term from you were here?), so they should have Japanese names...
Once again thanks for this thread... Aloha! Mike
