Jonathan- God's gift

Ethan- Firm. Strong. Enduring. Overflowing. (nice name)

Daniel = 'word of god' i think... old testament era hebrew orginally, although I suspect my parents were listening to Elton John in the late 70s...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that my surname (Statham) comes from 'Stathe' man which was someone who tied up canal boats... a stathe is the same as a quay if you're talking about canals.

dont know about my christian name ( alan ) but my surname means stubburn,"he who holds the reins,"in scandanavian it is made up of thor & aldra which is god and king so im told

Mine means variously

Bad Omen
Dove or Good Omen

(you might be able to figure out what it is from that)

pays your money and takes you choice!

my name aparently means lover of men :o Origin Greek

My sons means fire (root name is Irish however it is the English spelling) and my daughter means Grace (origin is disputed as being Russian or Irish). My sons name I came up with for the partner to agree, same with the my daughters name. Her name is from a friend I know at college who was simply a really nice person.

Moon

My name Meaning: Princess Origin: Hebrew :lol:

I was named after my father (who I have since disowned - LONG story.....)

I have a placemat here saying what my name means:

Dean

From the Gaelic word for 'great'
A daring, outgoing man who is not afraid to say what he feels.
Sets high standards for himself and others.

I was named after an England cricket player called Ian Woosman who apparently played really well in the summer of 1987 (when I was born)

I forget exactly how well he did, according to my Dad.

Hehe, obviously it was my Dad's idea :P

If I ever have a son, I want his middle name to be Patrick so that he shares the same middle name as Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton ;)

I was named after a Sheffield Wednesday player,(almost)

My mother asked my brother to pick a name for me and he picked Tommy.

After picking herself up off the floor in shock,she realised his surname was Craig,so she opted for that!

Mine's Norman in origin (and I hate the French). It means pig-breeder. Which is nice.

Don Kiddick has the space in the wrong gap.

It should be between the first 'i' & the first 'd' & the meaning will become aparrent:heyhey:

This is what you meant innit?:hihi:

From the Hebrew Origin meaning 'Gift of the Lord' - yep, sounds bout right:thumbsup:

My name (Natalie) means birthday and the birth of Christ.

It also means Noel which I believe is Christmas! :clap:

From memory Daniel means 'judged by God' - and I was named after an Irish grand-uncle.

(the earlier post meaning 'princess' in hebrew - I know that one from memory too! A girl I liked when I was about 7 had the same name. Strange how I can remember that but not remember what I had for breakfast...)

Don't believe my name has any meaning :( damn my mum and her wanting to spell it dodgy...

its Kristopher... and if you say its the same as Christopher I'll crack you :P you have no idea how annoying it is when people ALWAYS spell your name wrong!

Hi Ian ,are you sure you're not named after Ian Woosnam a golfer?
In 1987, he won a total of eight tournaments and topped the money list on the European Tour, becoming the first European to earn more than a million dollars in one season.
Cheers.

Ahh lol I got it wrong....

My Dad is a huge cricket and golf fan. It would have been one of the two sports

Thanks mate

My name is from the Greek word for pure! ;)

My name is the hebrew word for princess.My mum didn't choose it for this reason though,actually i'm not sure why she did,i was either going to be Sarah,Katherine or Jennifer.Do you think you would be a different person if you had a different name:ie a rose by any other name...

My Grandma chose my name, Claire and I think it must mean she who must run round after the lazy ass men at home :mad:
My youngest son was named after the charicter louis from the ann rice interview with the vampire novels (mr honeyplanets a big fan ) he wanted to call him lestat but I had to put my foot down

Kristopher is an alternative spelling of Christopher... Honest!

it's more common a spelling, in eastern Europe, of the name, there are also versions of it , e.g. christophe, Kristofer, Kristov, etc,

the name has the meaning "Bearer of Christ".

(there is the legend of Saint Christopher who bore the Christ-child, across a river, on his shoulders. He is the parton saint of travellers)

Had to use google to find my dog's name, but it suits his personality though (http://www.btinternet.com/~joe.porter/brude.htm)

Are you sure you know the meaning of your name ?

http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~cmcc/names.html

(yeah I know its been done before, but im adding to an existing thread, not starting a new one, don't know how that stands with the rules)

From that list that tells me.....
Andrew - gay and still has a small pecker :rolleyes:
Roll on the PM's.

My first name, Paul, means 'small or little' which is quite inaccurate since I'm 6'1 and 44 chest. I guess I was small when I was born though.

Paul is a bible name.

My middle name, George, means 'Tiller of the Soil' or farmer/earthworker.

The origin is Greek.

Origin Hebrew - Shushanna meaning Lily (Not at all like me I might add)

This probably wasn't what you meant, but I'm not doing my real name out loud, so

from strix.com:

"The literal translation of the Latin word "Strix" is "screeching owl", our logo. The symbolism relates to wisdom, hence the "Innovative Technology" which is our watchword.

More than 25 years ago John Taylor (the company's recently retired chairman) developed the first kettle control with automatic steam switch-off, a device which has subsequently protected millions of kettles against accidental dry switch-on or boiling dry.

Today the company he founded is the market leader in kettle design technology using thermostatic controls. "

Well, that was a surprise! :hihi:
