    Emily.

    My mother kindly reminded me at a young age that this name means 'a hard worker at home', and it was completely off.

    Oliver : 1) an olive tree

    how exciting... BUT

    2) "the olive tree is a symbol of fruitfulness, beauty, and dignity. Today "extending an olive branch" traditionally signifies an offer of peace"

    3) The name Oliver stems from the Middle Low German “Alfihar” meaning “elf army,” which is a combination of “alf” meaning “elf” and “hari” meaning “army.”

    Follower of Christ. Yippee. And my middle name is barely even a name. So is my last name. I doubt they have any real meanings. :freak:
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    1st name: Biblical meaning "God will increase" - I've never understood this.
    2nd name: also Biblical meaning "manly" - Awesome.
    Last name: German meaning "to cut" - ...fairly disturbing.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    BRENNAN
    Irish, English
    From an Irish surname derived from Ó Braonáin meaning "descendent of Braonán". Braonán is a given name meaning "sorrow" (Irish braon "tear drop" and a diminutive suffix).

    SPEYRER
    German (Bavaria): habitational name for someone from Speyer on the Rhine
    perhaps also Jewish, as the original form of Shapiro.

    Maybe that is his real name. Maybe he changed it after playing FFV because of how awesome the name Butz is.

    I can't find Speyrer anywhere on google, though
