Archivesnames of artists...what do they mean?
This is a list of musicians/composers that i took from a fake book (which is not fake, but it's just called like that because you can 'fake' the songs that are in the book, thus play them, honestly i don;t know why it's called like that). Well, i've checked in the database and on Google.com and checked for whether it were stage names or not (like Fats Domino) and this is the restant of the list. Does anybody know their meaning?
Fleecie (Moore)...note: i found a Neville Fleeson, 'son of Fleece', but what does fleece mean?
Djalma (Ferreira)
Vinicius (de Moraes)
Tolchard (Evans)
Enotris (Johnson)
Maewa (Kaihan)...related to Maeve?
Hoagy (Carmichael)...it's pet form of Hoagland, but what does that mean?
Kui (Lee)...some site says it's the Hawaiian form of Duy, a Vietnamese name...is this true?
Hachidai (Nakamura)
Rokusuke (Ei)
Euday (L. Bowman)

about the japanese names...(m)
well i have found this great online dictionary from Japanese to English and back. Maybe it is a good idea to submit it to the Links site of BtN?
Well, Rokusuke: roku means 'good, satisfactory, worthy' and suke means 'assistance', so in total rokusuke means 'good assistance'.
Hachidai: hachi means 'crown, pot' and dai means 'cost, price' (used only as a suffix). that would be 'price of a crown' or alike. well, this one was harder, because there are several meanings of hachi , like 'bee' and 'eight'.
About that 'eight': that is a funny coincidence, because roku also means 'six' and Hachidai and Rokusuke have written the famous song Sukiyaki together and those names are their real names.
About that online dictionary: this site is great. You can even find what English names and surnames would be in Japanese, like Hutchinson is Hacchinson and the French city Roquefort is in Japanese Rokkufooru . Many other possibilities.
