Correct -- Hime means Princess in Japanese, and Sarah (real name) means Princess in Hebrew, so it's sort of a loose translation.

I started using this name online because the fiance (then boyfriend) used a Japanese name on a different forum, and I wanted one that matched his. People elsewhere on the 'net have assumed that it's an anime thing, but his name actually came from the role-playing game Legend of the Five Rings. I like anime ok but I'm not a really intense fan (don't go out of my way to download fansubs, etc).

Bruce, ha!

No, but I do know a former Shakespearean actor from New Zealand. Tlingit Shakespeare sounds like a fun thing to write a paper on.
