    The boy's name Dennis \d(en)-nis\ is pronounced DEN-iss. It is of Greek and English origin, and its meaning is "follower of Dionysius". Also variant of Dionysius. Mythology: Dionysius is the Greek god of wine, responsible for the growth of the vines in spring and the originator of winemaking
    Wine god. I'm okay with that.

    Apparently I'm a kind of flower. Birth name: Alyssa. There's a flower called Lobularia Maritima which for some reason has the common name of Sweet Alyssum. Also in a name book I read once, it also means rational.

    I like this

    Daniel. It is "The Lord is my judge." Or something. Not only that, but Daniel was a Jew that got eaten by lions.

    I have THE MOST NOT METAL NAME THAT I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.

    As stated above. It's fitting because I've been told by a lot of people that I'm a rather good judge of character, so yay for that, I guess.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Well, no one is perfect; and I must add that when it comes to sometimes feeling it's a burden to have such an important title/bloodline/heritage (etc) that you must live with for the rest of your life (cause then you always have to live up to certain standards), there's prolly not many who know what that feels like more than I do...

    Huxley means Hugh's Field, which is pretty smurfing boring itbt

    Vannevar: the only information I can find suggests that this name is of Scandinavian origin, and means 'good'. So I guess call me Huxley Vannevar 'in bed' Hobbes.

    Hobbes: Apparently a variant of Robert and thus means 'bright fame'.

    Huxley Vannevar Hobbes means total badman and heir of the throne of Man.

    My name, Dakoda, was adapted from the Kokoda Track and not a variant of the name Dakota as many people believe (and isn't Dakota, as many people also believe). The only definition I've ever found has been for the spelling Dakota was "friend" in the language of a Native American tribe. Beats me

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    My name means from Scotland. I'm not from Scotland though :/
    My last name is a variant of the English occupational name Tiler, a man who made and laid tiles in floors and pavements. Derived from the Middle English 'tile' meaning "tile" which, in turn, came from the Old English 'tigele,' meaning "to cover."
    The funny thing is I have met someone who has my Surname for a first name and my first name as their Surname. It was kinda surreal
    Also my mother's maiden name means tree in another language.
