What I mean is like, if it were translated back into English would we refer to her as "Tradewind" and nickname her "windy"?

"Next month, Tradewind releases her fourth album"... is that what French people hear?
That's what i always think about Alizée and some friends, when they tell me their name means something, I wonder if they call each other that, or if its different in some way.
