Whoa, I had never thought about that. I had read about the
translation, 
"Instant Maiden." and "Wild/War/Riot Horse." But I've never seen the
name 
Saotome Ranma strng together to create the meaning of Instant Maiden
Riot. 
Some pun. 

Now, my own info on the Amazons...
Shampoo means something on the lines of Mountain Girl, I believe.... 
Takahashi used her good humor and created other hair product/body
care names 
as a joke. Colonge and Mousse.
There, common knowledge, but I couldn't help it. ^_^


As for Mousse, one common possible Chinese name for him is Mu Tsu ...
if translated, this comes out to something like "Student of Demons".
Since he was described as a "practitioner of Black Magic" when hewas
first introduced... hey, it works...
