Aww...ya beat me.

BTW according to one of my dictionaries, Saotome means something like a girl
rice-picker (from the paddy fields). It also had the "ran" of Ranma and the
'real' translation of Kasumi (as in, it tied in with what others have said
the world means), but not Akane and Nabiki...though there was an alternative
translation of Nabiki that isn't very flattering, but I forgot what it is...
