Mon, December 27, 2004 - 11:59 PMHey there, what's y'alls astrological signs? I'm going to be putting together some names for ya and I like to try to work that into it or at least match it up with the signs, makes it more comfortable that way. I found a great site that has all kinds of names from lots of different languages so I can put together quite a few different sounding ones! -

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Wed, December 29, 2004 - 5:20 PMKay' here's what I've come up with so far. These ones are from Sanskrit words and pretty much are pronounced how they look, if not then I'll add a phonetic key next to it.
Aravinda = lotus
Aravinda Rising Tribal Fusion Bellydance or just Aravinda Rising : I see this as a tribute to where you came from but also to where you are going with the ‘rising’.
Isha (eyeshuh) = protector
Indira = ancient feminine form of Indra which means beauty
Isha Indira Tribal Fusion Bellydance or just Isha Indira: I like this image of ‘protector of beauty’ because it just seems to me that bellydance is so entwined in doing that.
I personally like the names with out the 'Tribal Fusion Bellydance' tacked on because it sounds more strong yet mysterious. I'll have more in the next few days. -

Mon, January 10, 2005 - 10:13 PMFunky Cold Medina =)
I had a large influence on the Lotus choreographies and music so it'll have a style similar to Lotus
Right now there are 4 of us.
Welcome!!! -

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Mon, January 10, 2005 - 10:45 PMCaptain Medi once came up with a new form of dance: sleazy tribal.
I suggested at the time that we should form a new group: Sleazy Tribal Dance, or STD for short.
:-D
(aren't you glad you invited me to join this tribe, Meliza?) -

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Mon, January 10, 2005 - 10:52 PMIsha Indira is a beautiful name! I like the names that don't include "tribal fusion bellydance" best - the description is useful but I like them better short and sweet. (Seems like if being specific about your dance style matters you'll have a chance to do it in an intro or whatever.)

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Mon, January 10, 2005 - 11:57 PMThanks for the invite to the troupe Meliza!
The onlye name I ever came up with that wasn't used was "Lunatic Fringe", but then I think some store took that name in No Cal? I don't know.
Good luck! Names are hard. We changed our name two years in because we chose a name when we HAD to have a name, and it wasn't so much us. Knowing who you are together, and where you are headed together, makes it so much easier to get a name. The "second round" not only yielded many more names that made us go "Yeah!" but also the name we unanimously chose: inFusion Tribal.
If I have any wild brainstorms, I'll hit ya wit'em. -

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Tue, January 11, 2005 - 12:34 AMThere is a store in Nor Cal called that, it's owned by Paloma.
If I can think of any names Meliza I will definetly let you know!!

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Tue, January 11, 2005 - 12:31 AMI like the name as it is supposed to be pronounced, but it will surely be mispronounced all over the place.
And while it is beautiful, it has no meaning to the audience (most audiences, anyway). What I mean is, if you don't know the definitions of those words, it's just a pretty name, and not a reflection of the troupe's style or energy, per se. It doesn't conjure any images, or make me sit up and take notice. It's just...pretty words.
I am not shooting it down, because it is lovely and the meaning, once you know it, is great, but just presenting another viewpoint. -

Re: First Order of Business - Help!
Tue, January 11, 2005 - 12:35 AMI totally understand that view point. But then I have a troupe with "just a pretty name" even though it has a great meaning. *winks*
I am a fluffy bunny after all, so I like pretty ;op

Re: name suggestions
Tue, January 11, 2005 - 11:23 AMThere is a name that I have been waiting to use for a long time, but since I'm giving up at this point of getting anything going involving other people, I would be totally fine if you ladies used it. It's "Inshaalha" and it means "God's Will". It's used when there are factors beyond your control affecting something, whether positively or negatively. I worked with a woman who lived in Dubai for 4 years and "caught" the habit of saying it from her. I like it because we're never entirely in control of everything. There are always greater forces involved.
I can't wait to see you perform! I am excited to see what happens. You and Steph are such wonderfully beautiful dancers!
