I was kind of liking the reposing forest myself, but drowsy meadow is up there as well. But again the idea is to not give it away so going with something dutch.. well I don't much about dutch other than the one time I went to the Netherlands and that was for a way different reason, what I could though is call it the village of Tarry Town which unless you read the book or saw the play (or poorly done disney movie) you probably wouldn't guess it....

I'm sure it is likely we have someone around here with a little knowledge of Dutch, are there any takers?

Well, I'm not a dutchman, but I play one on TV.

According to bable fish, the following are some loose translations:

Sleepy Hollow = Slaperige Hol
Tarry Town = Teerachtige Stad
Drowsy Meadow = Slaperige weide
Hazy Hills = Wazige Heuvels
Watch your head = Letop Uwhoofd

I would love to see that one used as a domain name, just for the reaction from people when they translated it :lol:

This is an ancient thread but I wanted to let all those who aided in it know that the campaign in which Slaperige weide made it's appearance in was a rousing success and a big thank you to all who spoke up on the thread.
