Kaida "Little Dragon" - 09-20-2010, 03:34 PM

I found a website that lists Kaida as a Japanese female name that means little dragon. I researched the literal Japanese translation of little dragon and came up with chiisai ryuu. I have several questions.

If both of these are correct what is the basis of the difference?

What would the kanji be for Kaida?

Is there a male version of this name?

I recall that Bruce Lee’s given Chinese name was Xiao Long, which is also little dragon. The character for Long and Ryuu appear to be the same to me. Chiisai appears to include the Xiao character but has additional characters. Why is that?

Thanks for your help.
