What does your "name" mean?

Yeah, they (the movie makers) don't have imagination... hehehe, what a meaning for vamp woman... It should be the pretty lady's protagonist name...
See you!
Welcome to our (water)melon world...

Same with "Laura" in old American movies, Handan - that's my real name. But I kind of liked the fantasy of being a vamp.

i search somethink about my nick name but i dont found....just 10 years ago i played football and my school-mates just one day beginn to say me kalisares...i check in google in internet this year but i dont found..
i read spiritual books and i know about Kali in India but "sares"? i think is close to spanian lang.
sorry for my english i'm novice and not so good translator...tenx for the best trans.site
it's wonderfool
Peace Love!

It sounds almost like the Romanian "calusari" - I'm not sure how to spell that, but I think they were some kind of warrior.

It is spelled "căluşari" and you can find more about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C4%83lu%C5%9Fari It could be translated by "horsemen" and I doubt there anything related to warriors.

I'm impressed, not so many people know about our national dances and this one is one of the most spectacular and interesting. I love it actually, (maybe also because it comes from the same region as my father does....)

There are a lot of interesting related links there, I just say all of these because I know you are interested in folklore, kafetzou.

P.S. Exists also in Bulgaria, if I am not wrong...

Thanks, Iepurica. kalisares, in the wikipedia, article, it says the following:

The tradition is also played by the Vlachs (Romanians) of Serbia and Bulgaria, and hence was introduced into the folklore of Bulgaria under the same name, spelled "Kalushar"/"Kalushari".

Do you think that could be why they called you that?

You're welcome, kafetzou.

Maybe, I thought also so to the Bulgarian name. It sounds a little bit like that. But why? Did you jump too much, kalisares?

thank you Thathavieira, ı m very glad to come across this site!

and, Kafetzou, ı cant imagine you as a vamp woman with her daff in her hands

You're right, handyy - the two images really don't fit together, do they?

No Laura, they don't have resemblance to each other for me. How can I tell? Daff is something related to spiritual things, but being a vamp is something related to sensuous things. Of course that's my point of view

Hello ! My name is Adina and I just found out that I have the name of a drink
http://www.adinaworld.com/
My name has various meanings: in Senegalese it means "life", but it is a Hebrew name that means "noble, gentle, delicate". My nickname on this site ,"Freya", represents the name of the goddess of love and fertility from the Norse mythology.

Pretty name, Freya - I really like the name Adina.

handyy, you said something interesting. I don't think of my daff/defi playing as spiritual, although I don't know in what context the woman in the painting was playing it. For me it's just a percussion instrument, and I play it for all different genres of Greek and Turkish music.

Kafetzou, I know I will get a response like that from you. Well, daff has a different place or meaning in my culture, or let it say in my religion; it's an instrument higly used in religious music there, I guess Im effected from that fact and so I wrote a message like that. I hope I can explain better what I try to mean now.

I know that that is true, especially the really large daf played in the sufi tekke. Where in Turkey do you live?

Yeah Kafetzou you're right, daff is inseparable part of Islamic culture in terms of music. I live in Antalya. Have you had any chance to visit Turkey or ever heard anything about it- say the good ones you heard ?

I lived in Turkey for four years, and I loved it, even though I lived in EskiÅŸehir!

Every year I visite Turkey, the last one for the Total solar eclipse (gunes tutulmasi), and in december for Dervish festival in Konya!This one year for Easter in Edirne in Mosque "Selimiye"::Just amazing countri...i will visite more hundert times for cultur and spiritual gatherings
marhaba komshuluk""

Today I saw a TV show about Turkey! - Just perfect...
Well, what a beautiful place!
It's on my list right now.
You guys are soooo lucky!

Kafetzou, I've never lived in Eskisehir, but I know very well there's more beautiful places in Turkey such as Istanbul, Izmir, and my Antalya It's a really pity that you saw only Eskisehir. And it's a pity for me I lost the chance to meet you before you leave Turkey. I'd desire to hear your daff!

Kalisares, I swear Bulgaria is one of the countries I wanna visit - just out of its being near to Turkey kidding.. I have met lots of friends from Bulgaria at university so Im really curious about your country and culture! By the way you'r so cute ; Sana da merhaba komsu!!

Thathavieira, I guess I have a debt of gratitude to this show letting you be informed about Turkey. and thanks for your nice opinions.

If you had a chance or a wish to visit Antalya, let me know, I'd be happy to meet you!seriously..

Thanks.
