Hopefully someone will jump on it

Random note:My name is 3 words tora no kaze I just did have the space to put it

Doesn't 'no' indicate the possessive form in Japanese? Similar to 's in English. Someone told me that Fuku no kame means luck's god = god of luck. Or maybe they said it means 'god with long earlobes.'

Yeah I'd noticed the Japanese structure of your name. Tora = tiger. no = possessive (roughly, 's). Kaze means wind. (As in Kamikaze actually means divine wind, and referred originally to typhoons that sunk fleets invading from China).
(Kami means god or godly. Thus Fuku no kame was probably fuku no kami.)

So I was wondering, Tora no Kaze ... why did you name yourself Wind of the Tiger? Tiger of the wind sounds poetic, but as it is it sounds like some serious feline flatulence.
Is that really what you meant?
Puzzled, of the Orient.

From what i understand it can be both wind of the tiger, tiger of the wind, or windtiger

Either way it is my birth year and my moon element.

I'm pretty sure (but not willing to bet my reputation) that the "no" indicates possession by the preceding noun.
I am an eigo-no-sensei, an Englishlanguage-'s-teacher. In the visa office I was Ostoraria-no-Zengum, Australia-'s-Zengum.
I'm pretty sure you are Tiger-'s-Wind.
I still think this is cool despite the fart reference.
You could be Kaze-no-Tora but that doesn't sound as good.
Maybe, ToraKaze, simply, TigerWind?

The internet quarries seem to agree with you.
I could change it to kazetora.

I always thought the wind of the tiger phrase as more like the air rush after a strike.
