    Spåre? No, that's "track" as in "animal track".

    No, it's not. It's older word for <i>Kannus</i> ( Spur). I asked my dad, and Salla's dad got it also for some weird reason, eventhough he's a teacher. Our family coat of arms also has spur, so it makes sense.

    Läheisessä heimolaisuudessa edellisten nimien kanssa ovat semmoiset nimet, joilla on alkunsa josta-kusta vaate-kappaleesta. Tämmöisiä ovat. Kiiveri varmaan sota-väessä saatu. - Tupsunen, vert. saks. Knopf, jonka jälkimäisen kanssa nimellä Nupponen myös näyttää olevan yhteyttä. - Sopanen (sovat =vaatteet). - Turkki, Sarkkinen (katso edellä nimeä Nahkuri ja muutamia sen kanssa lueteltuja nimiä), saks. Pelz, ven. Schubin. - Mekkonen, Takkinen, saks. Wamsler, Kappe. - Hihonen. - Kormano. - Pöksyläinen, Nahkapöksy, Suurhousu. - Wirsu, Laapotti, Löttönen, Kautonen, Tallus, vert. saks. Schuh, Stiefel, Stiebel, Strümpfler. - <b>Kannus</b>, <i>Sporn, Spohr, Sporer, Spohrmann</i>, ruots. <b><I>Spåre</b></i>.

    Hah, beat Nait in language-something.

    I know. ;-)

    But seriously, our family name is weird as I could never find it from dictionary, and every Swede I've asked about the name, they've never said they've never heard such a name. *_*

    How do you make smileys bigger?

    You cheat and use the img-tag and height= and weight= and width=. =|

    Spåre is a cognate to "spår" (in finlandsvenska, the definite derivation of this word is /spo:re/, which I'll write as "spååre", which would mean "the track of someone or something", or "ski-track") still, though.

    My last name is Powell, and I think Carper carps if we use carp loosely I think I just misspelled that. I don't know what Powell means. I can say cell phone in German. Das Handy! xD

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    The good doctor and I disagree about a good many things. He does raise good points sometimes, he does contradict his own positions sometimes, and often he's too nitpicky.

    BUT! he's ok. not everybody has to agree with me, and if they have evidence to support their positions and not abstract philosophical introspective babble, then I'll reconsider my positions.

    Makoto, Honesty.
