Hi, I met a girl who said her name is "I" (spelt phonetically)
I'd like to write her a message with the correct spelling, can anyone help me.
Thanks. |

Best not to read anything into this name. Can you imagine what it must be like going through life with a name like "Love." Also it may be more literal to think of it as meaning something like "close" (as in "those close to our hearts."  |

Just imagine if she went to Scotland, she'd think everyone was calling her. |

And maybe we could have some kind of Inter-Asian "I love Lucy" ("Craig and Darma") type show called "Ai love Yuu!"  |

Abu, In Japan, it would be "Ai Rub Yuu". About two health massage workers. |
