I took my name from my Siamese cat. I tried to get a Thai name for her, but no luck in finding a Thai dictionary I could read!

I finally settled for Japanese. Since I don't read or speak Japanese, I took two words from and English/ Japanese site and combined them for her name.

Machiko= beautiful lady
Neko= cat

So her name means "Beautiful lady cat."

I use it on a lot of sites because it's unique; I can be pretty sure than no one has this name.

(PS, the picture of Machi was taken on one of her favorite perching sites; our kitchen door.)
