You would bring a smile to our face if you might give us some more background information -- such as Shyheim's ethnic origin.-- Nanaea

Oh, never mind. I see now that the original Shyheim is a rapster...

Correction: "rapper", & found your meaning...The name "Shyheim" could be viewed as being a composite name of Germanic origin."Shy" forms the first part of many surnames, and comes from "Scheier" or "Scheiee", meaning: "one who came form the forest place"."Heim" means "home" in German.So, putting both elements together, the name "Shyheim" could conceivably mean: "one who comes from the home in the forest".-- Nanaea

SelwynI think you're thinking of Loch (pronounced like lock in languages that don't have a "hard H" sound (as in the name Bach)). It means "lake" in Scottish and I think in Irish Gaelic, too, but that I'm not sure. Have to access my trusty English-Irish dictionary for that.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Ups I was a bit too hasty there perhaps :)I think you are right. I just spoke my mind before thinking I guess.
