Hi Christine,
Kobayashi – 小林 – is a common surname in Japan which means “Small Forest”

Tsumori – 津森 – if the kanji is written this way, it is something like “to ford across forest”

And thanks for your donation. Hope this help

I taught a young Japanese child named Tsumori Kobayashi Dyer (Dyer is his American surname)I would like to know the “meaning” of his name, if it is possible to translate it. I am interested in the “story”
Thank you

I know that there a lot of cases　in japanese about “my wishes and the other’s wishes”, like:

（私は）日本に行きたい。O
（誰かは）日本に行きたい。ｘ

（誰かは）日本に行くと思う。O
（私は）日本にいくと思う。ｘ

I was in doubt if its correct to say other’s intentions, plans, … like:

友達は日本に行くつもりです。
貴方は日本に行くつもりですか。
明日、母はケーキを作るつもりです。

can i do it with no problem?

About NO
it is just like if you say: I like Korean Cuisine and not I like the Cuisine of Korean.
This said it is not grammatically wrong.

Generally “No” indicates ownership or attribution. It is similar to the English.

Watashi no ane wa Tokyo ni
sunde imasu.

But it is also a noun modifier, the noun before “no” modifies the noun after “no”.

kono hon no chosha
the author of this book

you can also appose several sentences together.

Bengoshi no Tanaka-san wa itsumo isogashisou da.
The lawyer, Mr. Tanaka seems to be busy all the time.
