    So is Nagasawa (means something like long field/marsh),
    Katakura means something odd too (kura might be like a storage building/hut where you keep rice etc..) kata is too obscure for me to explain.

    Samson is a biblical character reference....I think he was strong or something.
    Vivalo is a mix of VIVA and VELO.
