Your Name Please

[OverMyHead]

What significance does your name have?

And why is it significant?

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

Well, I'm the 3rd. So it represents the beginnings of a possible tradition which I probably won't follow.

 

[jimmy]

User name or real name?

 

[OverMyHead]

Your real name.

 

[mcilroga]

Derek.

Significance, huh? It's actually a long story.

 

[hey yo its sean]

My name is of Irish origin, meaning "God's gracious gift."

 

[Mee]

First name- just a name my parents picked from the Bible that they liked

Middle- old family name. My Great Uncle or something.

Last- born into it.

 

[jimmy]

James (I use "Jimmy," though) -- I'm the second; my kid will probably be the 3rd.

Honestly, I ****ing love my name. There are probably a lot of people who are unhappy with their birth-name, but I'm one of the few who are extremely pleased with it.

 

[SuperFerret]

My name is (a somewhat altered version of) my grandfather's name. (My name is Stephen, his was Stephan. Both are pronounced the same.)

 

[SouLeSS]

Michael Patrick.

Something to do with Saints and stuff. My parents USED to be religious or something.

 

[Machx72]

I'm also a III.

Probably a tradition I will follow simply because it's important to my father. It means zero to me.

ERIC
Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, French

Pronounced: ER-ik (English), er-EEK (French) [key]

From the Old Norse name Eiríkr, derived from ei "ever" and ríkr "ruler". Danish invaders first brought the name to England. A famous bearer was Eiríkr inn Rauda (Eric the Red in English), a 10th-century navigator and explorer who discovered Greenland. This was also the name of kings of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Hellz yeah. I'm a king.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I'm from Fame Island.

 

[Ben Urich]

Evan.
My parents just liked the name...?

 

[AndThePickles]

Real name- Andrea. It means "very feminine," which I think fits me quite well.

ANDREW
Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Biblical

Pronounced: AN-droo [key]

From the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which derives from ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος (andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter. According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. This was also the name of kings of Hungary.

 

[AndThePickles]

Yeah, most name sites just list Andrea as the opposite of the name Andrew, which means "manly/masculine" lol.

 

[JTStarkiller]

I'm an American, honey. Our names don't mean ****.

 

[Honey Vibe]

It's an American name, honey -- they don't mean s***.

 

[Honey Vibe]

I'm an American, honey. Our names don't mean ****.

You have my respect, newbie.

 

[kytrigger]

My first name was given to me after my great Uncle. (If I'd been a woman, I would have been named Athena after my family's original god)

My last name means "shooter of the cannon". A long time ago in Greece, a lot of people's last names was just the village/island they actually came from, first names are more important. But when people went off to war, they changes their last name so that if they were captured the enemies wouldn't know where the came form and attack the village, so many used their military rank/job as a last name.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

my family gives us a "shared name"

My middle name is the same as my mother's middle name
My sister's middle name is the same as my aunt's middle name
My brother's middle name is the same as his grandfather's first name
My baby sister's middle names are for her two living grandparents (at the time)
My nephew has my brother's name for his first, and his dad's first for his middle
My son had my grandfather's first name as his middle name

And then my brother married a ***** and she tossed all the traditions out the window and gave her kids white trash names

Allannah Monet (who has a lumpy skull)
Aiddan Zane ( a name I gave a villain in a story when he was born)
and Kurt Connor (who I call the Lizard)

 

[Assassin]

Thats nice Heather.

Lumpy skull? like that guy who did Anna Nichole's autopsy?

 

[Speedball]

My first name has no real family significance. (My first name is Matt, which comes from TV detective Matt Houston)

My middle name is William, which was my grandfathers first name. My father and brother both have Alexander as their middle names. I think it was my grandfathers middle name as well. I'll probably give my second child that middle name as well (add a A if it's a girl), cause it doesn't look like my brother will have any kids.

 

[Manic]

Kevin.

Because my dad, whose name starts with 'K', wanted all of his kids to have names that start with 'K'. Same with my siblings.
