Cool!

Hey, maybe you can help me with something- my name.

My name is Gregory Monks. Gregory is from the Greek for Gregorio, which means "watchful". Monks is the plural of Monk, and a monk is "A religious male living in a cloister and devoting himself to contemplation and prayer and work".

So what would "watchful monk" be in Japanese? I see all kinds of definitions of both words, so I don't know which is the right one.

And would that be a real name? Or would it just sound silly?

Thanks! Now that you've provided me with the name, I was able to find this:

What does the raised cat's paw mean? Is that a good-luck kitty?

Is Nara the same place as Kyoto? Or are they both former capitals of Japan?

Good Morning! :) It's a cute Maneki neko in pic.
