Gah! The name bugs me so much. Not that it's a bad name, no. But... it makes me think of the Finnish word of the same spelling meaning "magic." Then I have to remind myself that it's actually someone's *name*.
Just had to get it out. Done now.
It's a Maori name I suspect.
I've heard they are related linguistically to Hawaiians...
One day I hope to learn Finnish. That would be AWESOME! Freestylah! Rock tha microphone! Sorry, that was from Bomfunk MC's song Freestyler. They're from Finland.
It is Maori, its Pakeha transliteration is Tiger.
shareAll languages are related as are all people.
A tiger in Finland would be f-in magic wouldn't it!?
;)
