I hate it when people try to spell my last name "Nobel". Though close in spelling they do not sound the same. They have a different last syllable!

[Shiny]

My name is Danielle and it means "God is my Judge". It's origin is Hebrew and I got it from my Dad Daniel.

It almost seems as if every guy you know is named Daniel. :mog:

I thought your real name was 'Moonraven-Asterisk von Iridescent'!

SHUSH SHUSH! They're supposed to work it out!


Nothing to see here, ladies and gentlemen!

I'M ON TO YOU!

Your name's Tanya!?

Psh, no. That's the Russian variation.

Paul means small.

Time for a pre-emptive strike: Your mom didn't seem to think so.

And that's why you have chlamydia.

Tatiana or Tanja?

[Shiny]

Tanja sounds cool, almost like Tarja...but no. Neither of those are my name.

[Araciel]

Supplanter.

[Aerith's Knight]

Tanja sounds dutch

[Citizen Bleys]

Wow, I looked it up, and my name apparently means "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

That's perfect for a pick-up line!

I have better luck with "Scream and I'll kill you."

[Dynast-Kid]

Lawrence
Origin: Latin
Meaning: Laurel-Crowned

My first name is the shortened form of Lawrence/Laurence, which means "from Laurentum" in Latin. Laurentum was some city in Italy known for laurel trees. I think. My name's boring...

Is your name Lance or Larry? Or something else?

My name's Larry. I think it's bland, but everyone says that it suits me eerily well.

Tanja sounds cool, almost like Tarja...but no. Neither of those are my name.

Hmmm...

Tania? Latanya? Taina?

I am going to figure this out! xD

[scrumpleberry]

I'm not going to reveal my real name.

I guess all I'll say about it is it's Latin and I don't live up to it.

Amandus? Means "lovable"...

[Quindiana Jones]

My name means beloved....somewhere.

In total, my name means "beloved bear king".

[Relapse]

Joseph, Jehova increases? WTF?

[Iceglow]

My first name (Steve) is Greek meaning Crown or Wreath. My middle name (Craig) is Gaelic/Scottish meaning Rock or Rocky from the word Crag. So therefore I am King of Rock!

[Quindiana Jones]

Well I'm the King of Bears.

This is where you put the cartoony thing of the man beating a bear in a game of Rock Paper Scissors.

THOMAS

Pronounced: TAHM-as (English), TOM-as (English), to-MA (French), TO-mahs (German, Dutch), tho-MAHS (Greek) [key]
Greek form of the Aramaic name Te'oma which meant "twin". In the New Testament this is the name of the apostle who doubts the resurrected Jesus. According to tradition he was martyred in India. Famous bearers of this name include philosopher and theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas, philosopher Thomas Hobbes, inventor Thomas Edison, American president Thomas Jefferson, and novelist Thomas Hardy.

Though they did miss out the Welsh version; Tomos.

SAMUEL

Pronounced: SAM-yoo-el (English), SAM-yool (English) [key]
From the Hebrew name שְׁמוּאֵל (Shemu'el) which could mean either "name of God" or "God has heard". Samuel was the last of the ruling judges in the Old Testament. He anointed Saul to be the first king of Israel, and later anointed David. A famous bearer was the American author Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the pen name Mark Twain.

I'd rather not reveal my surname here, but it's apparently something that was given to people who made red and purple dyes.
