Banco del Mutuo Soccorso -- quite difficult, my Italian teacher had to think this carefully as she never had heard of it (them) but knew I Pooh (which is very popular in Italy over the years, she said). Next week she said: it´s kinda social financial benefit from society/community... banco = fund (?) mutuo = mutual  soccorso = benefit, aid

Excellent ! My teacher agrees too.  I gave her "Darwin!", "No palco" and "Alphataurus" to listen..... "Mutual" is a banking/investment term so there is no need to change it to "credit" therefore "Mutual Aid Bank" is sufficient. Mutual basically means 'owned by the investors' - Italy has many "mutual banks".

I didn't see this one mentioned.  Spock's Beard were named from an episode of the Original Star Trek where they encountered a mirror universe where there was an alternative Spock who had a beard.

Mutual basically means 'owned by the investors' - Italy has many "mutual banks". Mutuo has two meanings in Italian In this case I believe Mutuo it's not referred to the banking tern, so the name would be Bank for the Mutual Aid...The word "del" makes more sense like this.

not quite true; it just means "power plant". there are two German words for "nuclear power plant": "Kernkraftwerk" (which is the literal translation since the German word for "nucleus" is "Kern") and "Atomkraftwerk". "Kraftwerk" just means any power plant, regardless of type

Ivan_Melgar_M wrote: Dean wrote: Both meaning are related to banking so you're still using "Mutual" as a banking term and my point stands therefore "Bank for the Mutual Aid" (or "Bank for Mutual Aid") is sufficient too. I have no problem with that. I believe in this case it's more related to reciprocal aid. The exact translation of Mutuo Soccorso is reciprocal aid as in Mutuo Amore (Reciprocal Love). It it was Banco Mutuo del Soccorso...It would refer to a Mutual in banking terms But Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is more like Reciprocal Aid Bank, because mutuo is linked directly to Soccorso, not to Bank

Horslips - after a drunken get together to come up with the name of their new band, the members decided on Horslips from a spoonerism of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which became The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse.
