What does your name mean?

[SpugNothuson]

I was inspired by another thread, the Subconscious Ripoff one.

But what does your name mean? Your real one that is.

Don't post your real name, unless you want to. Just the meaning.

Mine would be,

Brave Power of the Wood Sawer

So I'm a hard as nails lumberjack then. That'd explain the high heals in the wardrobe.

[morea]

^ LMAO! You're a lumberjack, so you're ok... you sleep all night and you work all day!

Where did you get the name definitions? I think I usually use www.behindthename.com

My first name means "dark one". My middle name means "sea of bitterness."
If any of you feel the need to make a wisearse comment about that, I am going to post the David Hasselhoff dance again. So there.

[Exodus]

The dance isn't quite as bad as MD's animated Hoff GIF! :eek:

[Exodus]

My first name means something to the effect of being a person who really likes and is good with horses.

My second name means "Great Protector"

[frankster]

My first name is a scottish surname that refers to some old dude's bog. I feel so glamourous!

[budafist]

I am well born. Well the female version of it anyway.

Funny when I look up Genie (the shortened version of my name) I get the same thing.

[PrintDriver]

In Morea's database link, my first name shows up as "unknown origin", my last name doesn't show up at all.
Wonder what that means?

[Virgo Nightingale]

My first and last names together roughly translate to "Queen Bee". Coincidentally, I worked for a tiny record company called "Queen Bee" right out of college.

[Red Kittie Kat]

In Morea's database link, my first name shows up as "unknown origin", my last name doesn't show up at all.

My last name didn't show up either ;)

[Ovaltine]

My first and middle names mean
"fair", "white", "smooth", and "lake"
Neither my Scottish married nor my English maiden last names showed up, I'm not sure that database is designed for last names.

So I guess I'm a calm lake reflecting a sky of bright white clouds.

[Samy the owl]

Happiness :)

[SpugNothuson]

Most peoples names are quite positive and pleasant.

There must be some names out there that translate into something rather unfortunate.

[Annie Social]

Most peoples names are quite positive and pleasant.

There must be some names out there that translate into something rather unfortunate.

Well, my first and middle names mean "Grace" and "My God is abundance", respectively. Unfortunately, my last name means "one who prepares animal hides". Unfortunate enough?

[morea]

I don't know, there's always a need for someone skilled with animal hides. :)

you know, I thought that "dark sea of bitterness" was pretty unfortunate... I hope nobody else's is worse than that! ;)

My name James "Suplanter" isn't all too nice, it invoves takeing another one's place by deception.


My wife and I actually considered naming our son Ichabod, but the meaning of "departed glory" was depressing sounding. (I suppose Washington Irving looked up the meaning too).

[captain spanky]

my name is...






...wait for it.....





scottish for John.

hmm how meaningful and deep. :(

[rose-o]

At first it seems all good, but then it turns ugly:

"In part it means simply "rose" from the word for the fragrant flower (derived from Latin rosa). However, it may have originally been a short form of names beginning with the Germanic element hros meaning horse."

Yee haw!

[Typically]

From the Latin meaning "watchful, alert"

From a surname which was derived from a place name meaning either "at the rocks" or "at the nook" in Old English.

haha i'm watching the rocks

[Drazan]

Jade (nick): Simply means "jade" from the name of the precious stone that is often used in carvings. It is probably derived from the Spanish (piedra de la) ijada meaning "(stone of the) colic", relating to the belief that jade could cure colic.

Drazan: Derived from the Slavic element dorogo meaning "precious"

aka: a Bohemian Healer :)

[fredrich]

The first part of my name means peace/peaceful, the other one rich. Therefore, my nick is a mix of the first half in native and the second in it's english meaning.

[DesignStudio]

my first name means "man" pretty descriptive i know.
middle name means "man of the earth", so we're making some progress.
last name means "the voice", or "of the voice", which is probably handed down from generations originally meaning loudmouth.

i also have a name in an indian language, wulantawagon, which translates to "he who has great spirit"

[Botchup]

First name means "Beloved" or "King".
Middle name means "Who is like a God".

If you add them together, you get:
"A beloved, God-like King."

You may all start grovelling... now.

Oh, my surname has no meaning, but is kinda a referral to the male genitalia.

So I guess if you wanted to add THAT on, you'd get:
"A beloved, God-like King. Can be a dick sometimes."

[Samakimoto Graphics]

LOL Botchup!

[Riya]

Hehe! So, Botchup- what about tips #1-41?

[Silence04]

cutter of cloth
son of Andrew the first of Jesus' disciples

[SpugNothuson]

Don't post your real name, unless you want to. Just the meaning.

Mine would be,

Brave Power of the Wood Sawer

I forgot about my middle name, I'd actually be,

Brave Power of the Warlike Wood Sawer.

I like it, I feel a new sig coming on.

[idaho]

This is cool! My first name means "wood" and my middle name means "blood river". Both are names from Scottish Royalty.

[mac.FINN]

My name is Irish, it means "Handsome, beautiful" The gaelic version of my name is Caoimhin - Old Irish Caemgen: caem "gentle" or "beautiful" + gein "birth."
My last name means "Bright, Fair".

[The_Black_Knight]

Mine is:

From a surname which was originally from a place name meaning "settlement on the summit" in Old English.
Which isn't terribly inspiring or exciting. But then again, my actual first name is a shortened form of the full name (Clint instead of Clinton), so it probably only means "summit" now, since the "-on" suffix is often used at the end of town names (which I guess would indicate the "settlement" part).

[urstwile]

Apparently, my name, which is a derivative (albeit an old one) of a male name, means victory of the people. :)

In terms of my screen name, it's my own recipe, a combination of a play on words and the latin root for bear, an animal for which I've always had an affinity and often dream about (yeah, I'm sure you're all surprised it's not penguins or creatures with noodly appendages :D ). Wile means lore or smarts. So my screen name (to me) means bear smarts. :D

[jessicam]

Jessica means "he sees" or "rich, god beholds", and it was coined by Shakespeare. My last name means "lake or pond" or "The Mad" depending on reference.

So ... I am God beholds rich crazy people by the lake. Nice.

[morea]

lol, I like that!

[D-Frag]

my name is so screwy i can't even find a meaning behind it

[pmkcreations]

Derived from the Greek ?????? (Petros) meaning "stone". This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas (meaning "stone" in Aramaic) which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42). Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus's ministry and is considered by some to be the first pope.

My wife would confirm that my head is as dense as a rock sometimes. I'd have to agree.

[hewligan]

My actual name means "crown."

My nickname is a the name of a character from a comic drawn by Jamie Hewlett. The character, Hewligan, had mad hair that detuned reality. So, probably a far more appropriate name for me, then.
