Ume is also the name of a town in Ōita Prefecture, Japan
Prunus mume is a species of Asian plum in the family Rosaceae.
Prunus mume is a species of Asian plum in the family Rosaceae.
It is called ume (kanji: 梅; hiragana: うめ) in Japanese, méi (梅) or méizi (梅子) in Chinese,[1] maesil (hangul: 매실; hanja: 梅實) in Korean, and mai in Vietnamese.
The tree originates from China, but it has also been grown in Japan and Korea since ancient times. The tree is cultivated for its fruit and flowers. Although normally called a plum, it is actually more closely related to the apricot.
aren't the flowers pwetty?
Ume fruits
as for how my name came abt? of cos my Jiejie din noe enough Japanese to name me Ume, not to mention what it meant. silly hooman!
i was bot from a family staying in Hume Park in Singapore back in Feb this year. while over dinner, Jiejie was cracking her blains, blainstorming on what to name me. she tot of words relevant to the date i adopted her, n oso Hume Park. then she tot of Yumi, oso a Japanese name. dats when a bulb lighted up in Gorgor's head! he suggested Ume instead of Yumi, both sound the same, but Ume was derived from the word Hume. n if u break it down, it oso means u and me! so Jiejie tot it's veri meaningful. n there! i've a name!
u noe wat? i think i'll start a new tag! i'll tag all DWB frens to tell us more abt your name, n the significance!

Ume, you're so cute! I love your name story. Mommy picked out my first name after looking at Japanese baby names. She picked out my second name because she thought a little pug ought to have a toughy name too, and she just knew I would be a feisty little doggy. That's how I became Suki Sumo!
puggy lovies!
That's pretty cool! I have to say that I love the name. Ume! It sounds pretty awesome. ;)

Hiya Ume! That's a very interesting story you have there about how you got your name.
My former mummy loves eating chillies so she named me "Chilli" but unfortunately things didnt work out btwn the two of us. When I was adopted by my present mummy she stuck to the same name cuz it's a pretty interesting name.

Ume!!
I love your name, but you lost me after the fruit photos. (I have a hard time following a story.) My girl explained it to me afterwards, though.
My girl just like old man names, and she thought I looked like a Stanley. Plus, I didn't answer to the name my first family gave me. I feel like a Stanley. Do you feel like an Ume?
Goob love & kisses,
STanley
Those are pretty flowers! Your name makes me hungry. My real name is Truffle which is a chocolate candy. I call myself T-man so mom doesn't think of candy all the time and get fatter than she already is!!
You have got a very interesting name indeed! I like it.. How I got my name was borrrrrring (dad picked it, so that kind of explains right?)
Hey Ume,
That's a great way of explaining how your name came about. Mom has no originality, she said if she had a dog, would be either Happy or Lucky cos she likes simple names hence Luckie (just spelt a bit differently).
Oh I like your name Ume. And isn't it great you got same name as another DWB doggie in Japan
~ girl girl

Hey Ume, You are so, so cute!
You asked how to find your google searches. You need to add a tracker to your blog to see this. I use ShinyStat -- scroll to the bottom of my blog to see it. I'm sure there are billions of others out there too. It's kind of fun because you can also see what countries people are from.
Hi Ume, The flower is really pretty, just like sakura but is white. Ume is really a pretty name. Yea, same name as Umetyan =)
