I want to get a tattoo that has my wifes name and then under her name
in latin "so that I love and cherish".  What is the proper way to say
"so that I love and cherish" under my wifes name.

You've already received an answer to your earlier question:

What more are you seeking?

Instead of "so that I love ..."  I would choose:  "...whom I love and cherish",

"Mary qua amo et carum habeo"

But don't trust me on the Latin.  It might be:  "Mary qua amo atque carum habeo"

Or more directly:  I love and cherish Mary:  "Mary amo et (?) carum habeo"


On your other question, the answer using a different tense or voice was given as:

"ut amem carumque habeam"  

But I question if it is correct to link to different types of words with "-que".

It is a tatto so I want to make sure it means what I want it to mean. 
So your saying that if I put her name and Ut Amem Carumque Habeam
under it means so that I love and cherish

>It is a tatto so I want to make sure it means what I want it to mean. 
>So your saying that if I put her name and Ut Amem Carumque Habeam
>under it means so that I love and cherish

OK. It's probably a good idea to be very precise in what you want your
tatoo to mean, because the Latin translation would be a bit different
with even the small variations of what you want the translation to be.

Say that your wife's name is "Mary"--Do you want the tattoo to say 
"So that I love and cherish Mary"?

If so, that might lead to a slightly different translation. (Since
"Mary" is now the direct object of the phrase, it would have to be in
the accusative case, which might have to have a different noun
construction that would "Mary" if it were the subject of a sentence.)
If that's the case, then you should probably tell us your wife's name
so that a translator can provide an appropriate accusative case
formation for your wife's name.

Alternately, yeah, if you just want to have a tattoo of your wife's
name, then under it the "so that I love and cherish" phrase, where
your wife's name isn't really part of the "so that I love and cherish"
phrase, you're probably OK as you plan, with your wife's name as it is
then the Latin translation you've been fiven beneath it. It'd be a
little odd, since the statement "I love and cherish" naturally raises
the question of *what* one loves and cherishes, but the graphic design
of the tattoo can probably make the meaning clear.

I think you're to be commended on taking such care to making sure your
tattoo translation is right. I've known folks who, for example, don't
know Chinese getting tattoos of Chinese characters; I've always
thought that shows a great deal of faith in the tattoo artist...

Hi,
I saw from your clarification on your related question that now want a
translation of:  "Jenn, whom I love and cherish."

It will only cost you the 2 x $0.50 posting fee extra if you cancel
these questions and post a new one, as Alanna suggested.

I now believe that my translation should read:  "Jenn qua amo et cara habeo"
(making "cara" refer to a female), but I am NOT at all sure this is correct.
