Re: In that case (m)
The way that John (my nail tech)pronounces the name, it is a tay-URI. So the tay is a short sound. he recognized the spelling right away though... I think that your Teuri is the closest thing I have yet though, THANK YOU!
If the name means heaven sales would that mean sold from heaven? I guess this could be a wrestler name. Who knows?

Glad I could help ;) I guess sold from heaven sounds better than heaven sales. Maybe it's a lot cooler in Japanese than it is to me in English (cool enough to be a wrestler name?). Anyway, not sure if you're interested, but after googling it, it seems Teuri is an island along the coast of Hokkaido. Not a bad namesake, if you ask me.

Yeah, I was trying to westernize the meaning a bit with the "sold from heaven" idea... who knows? It may be a cool wrestler name or it may be that the wrestler was from that island? Thank you for your help!!!!!
