What is the meaning of your real name?

[scotpens]

I’m another Scot — actually a Jew of German, Polish, and Russian descent.

But then, there are lots of girls named Melanie who aren’t dark.

It'll probably turn out that you are not who you believe yourself to be. You'll be the long-lost son of the Last True Scotsman, who will one day be called forth to rediscover his destiny and reclaim his heritage. Then the battle for freedom begins!

Well, I’m damned if I’m going to wear a kilt. And I’m not too crazy about golf, either.

 

[Danoz]

'person from scotland'.... yeah...

if you take my middle name, first name and surname and structure them more coherently, it comes out as 'victory of the free people of scotland'...

shame i'm English, eh?

 

[Kestra]

Carrier of Christ.

Jesus.

 

[B.J.]

My first name (disregarding the "Junior" part) means Brave as a Bear or Bold as a Bear. I didn't know that before today...

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Charles. Depending on who's doing the translation means a man, a husband, or a free man. Apparently it can also refer to "a villain." But that meaning was done away with by Charlemagne.

 

[Q2UnME]

Richard \r(i)-cha-rd\ as a boy's name is pronounced RICH-erd. It is of Old German origin, and the meaning of Richard is "powerful leader". Norman name commonly used for the last 900 years except in the 19th century. England's King Richard Coeur de Lion gave the name lasting impressions of kingliness and the exploits of a crusading knight.

Pretty cool....
