we just got a new cat, and we'd like to adapt his Humane Society name to something a bit more personal. his current name is Tigger. what I'm looking for is a site that would give me the word Tigger (or more probably, Tiger) in many different languages. I took a peruse through Max's list, but couldn't quite decide where to go from there.
any ideas?

When I saw your thread starter title ('many from one'), I immediately thought of pineapple propagation: many plants being propagated from the base of one plant (ratoon or rattoon).
Then when I opened your thread and saw you wanted the name for a kitty, I immediately thought: Rattoon! Perfect! Many from One!
Sigh of disappointment. Then I read that you wanted another name for Tigger. Sigh, again.

To know a cat's name you have to get to know the cat and keep an open mind. Eventually the cat will let you know.

I think Adolf would be a bad name too.

thanks, J.
I've found translation sites, but I was hoping for something that would give me multiple translations simultaneously, similar to what answer.com does.

We used to have a Siamese cat named by, and temporarily owned by, my brother. He said, "The cat's name is 'Pool-bah', which is Siamese for $#!+-storm." I never believed him. 'Poolie' adopted us and lived with up for many years, but I still never believed my brother.
