Fellowship of the Elegant Voyagers

As what I've planned, I've recently joined the Fellowship of the Elegant Voyagers (雅航團). Thanks to LinLin who helped with the processing stuff.

I've been asked how would I translate the name into English, and I've been thinking. Definitely not anything like Mute, which has the same pronunciation with 雅 in Chinese. However this name is maybe a bit too grand for little girls. So the guild is also known as the Primary School for Elegant Voyagers.

How do I feel in that Guild? So far so good. There are definitely more people. So more tendencies to chat. However, I've only actually meet, let me see, like four of them. And when I return to Europe, I definitely need to go and visit the Guild. XD

3 Flag Signals

gakoudan - 雅航団 (i used the simplified japanese for the last character).

I'm guessing voyager is implied or maybe those 3 characters are the buzzword or easily memorizable "word" for the group instead of the full name? Or does 航 imply the people who are doing the action as well in Chinese?

Like Famicom = famurii konpyutaa

It depends on how you interpret the first word, since the latter two more or less have fixed meaning. So I just choose something that sounds nice. For the actual meaning, only the founder will know. ;)

雅 - an adjective: elegant, gracious, with ease, etc
航 - usually is implied as a verb: voyaging or sailing
團 - a noun: a group of people
