Hey all!

I was looking into this earlier, and I thought it was cool. I've always been into the whole "meanings behind the name" thing. So, tell me what your name means! There's lots of sites you can use to find out, such as www.behindthename.com .

You can do your name our people in your family, or your pets or friends. Whoever!

Also, I think it's funny if you give your own definition... Just describing you a bit! :)

I'll start. My given name is Caitlyn which is derived from Katherine (!) meaning "Pure". It's Greek, I believe. Which is SO off. My middle name is Adriana which means "Dark one" and is Spanish. My names totally contradict each other. :P Hehheee.

MY definition:

Caitlyn: One who is bossy, opinionated, caring, frivilous, and bold. Likes caramel machiattos and rats almost equally. Has a habit of being the "motherer" of any group. Cries easily.

:P Hehheee.

NICE! :P

My real name is Margaret, which is derived from Margarita (OOOOOO!) in Latin and means "pearl." My middle name, Jacqueline, is the feminine form of Jacques :P

:P

So my real name is Cynthia, which was Latinized form of Greek Êõíèéá (Kynthia) which means "woman from Kynthos". This was an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Artemis, given because Kynthos was the mountain on Delos on which she and her twin brother Apollo were born. Middle name Elyse: Pet form of ELIZABETH.

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Names are fascinating!!

They really are :P

St. Margaret was some sort of patron saint of expectant mothers… I find that sort of funny :D

Jennifer it says comes from GUINEVERE an Old French form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, which is composed from "gwen" meaning "fair, white" and "hwyfar" meaning "smooth". In Arthurian legend shes the wife of King Arthur. Who cheated with that lancelot guy.

Woah!! :blink: Guinevere? Weiiird...I am the palest/whitest of my family of hispanics, I guess!!

LMAO :P

But I thought Lancelot was GAY!

Me too! But it's that legend story: It says:

I don't know what to believe!!!! :P .

BISEXUAL?

Listen to the Pythons. He's gay :P

The pythons?? Mabe he IS bisexual? Or Gay? I don't know....::goes to google lancelot::

IDK. Spamalot (Monty Python musical featuring Sara)/MPATHG says he's gay :P

LMFAO!!!

:D He's gay. I rest my case.

LOL. Ok I'll do Tanner's name.

This one is easy. English for leather worker. LMAO. His middle name is James, and that is Hebrew for "One that supplants". WTF is "supplants"? I am so ticked he has such a crappy name. It's a family name, though. Ugh.

it's not THAT crappy! :)

OK My names :)

Karolina Greta Matilda
Karolina , kar(o)-lina\ is of Slavic origin. Variant of Caroline, from Charles (Old German) "free man".
Greta \g-re-ta\ is pronounced GREH-tah. It is of German origin. Short form of Margaret (Greek) "pearl". Like the famous Swedish actress Greta Garbo.
Matilda is of Teutonic derivation, derived from words meaning "might, strength" and "battle." Pronounced (in Swedish) with Ma like in Malik not like English Muh-tilda
Matilda is the name I go by :)

You have two middle names? That's so cool! :D

My friend Daniel is so awesome. He's 80% gay, 10% straight, and 10% just Dan. I saw his last name in a spanish dictionary, and it means "leather strap." You know we had lots of fun with that one :D
