What does your real name mean?

[Kon-Tiki]

I was just wondering... what does everybody's real name mean?
Mine's a men's name and comes from the archangel Rafael. It means 'God heals.'
Anyone else's?

-Kon-Tiki-

[jelleghys]

Well, my name is Jelle (and it's a men's name too, someone told me he thought a was a girl, so I'm not )

It means (so I was told once) Noble Knight...

Nomen est omen, yeah right

Patrick-

Your first name of Patrick creates a serious, thoughtful nature, shrewd, efficient, and business-minded. You are one to make your own decisions, and not be influenced by others. You desire independence and freedom from the authority and interference of others. You are not overly ambitious, preferring instead just to seek stable, settled conditions which are adequate to meet your responsibilities. In your personal relations with others, you are inclined to be rather serious, and not to see the humour others see, or to respond spontaneously. Your positive manner and outlook can make others feel that you are imposing your will on them and even interfering in their affairs. Weaknesses in your health caused by the influence of this name centre in the head. Head colds, sinus conditions, hay-fever, and weak eyes are relative conditions. Also, your tendency to worry can lead to insomnia and other overwrought condition

Well here is mine.

Your name of Chris gives you a very happy-go-lucky, spontaneous nature. You see the humorous side of many situations and can laugh at yourself as well as at others. This name gives you a musical, artistic nature and you would do well in any occupation in the entertainment field. You have many friends because of your generous, happy nature, but if crossed you have a quick temper, although your annoyance does not last too long. You do enjoy an argument and will at times say things just to get others going and then you sit back and enjoy the debate. You lack system and order and find it very difficult to budget and save money. This name creates a nature that can be the life of the party, but many times you can become involved in emotional situations against your better judgment. Your compassionate nature causes you to be too generous and you often give more than you can afford to. You are too fond of sugars and starches, thus you could have a weakness in your liver, kidneys, or skin, creating pimples or eczema. While this name gives you a wonderful personality, and attracts much love and friendship, it is far too emotional and scattering an influence and will not allow the material accumulation nor personal happiness you should have.

Who really beleives in this kind of stuff anyway?

This is funny. I don't really believe in it because a name doesn't characterise you, but it's a lot deeper when you're thinking more about star signs etc.. I heard that my name came from "Nikolaos", which means "he who leads the people" ... ::)

Your first name of Niko has given you a practical, logical, analytical approach to life and a great deal of patience. You enjoy working at anything of a mechanical or technical nature, and believe that what is worth doing is worth doing well. When you are interested in a project, you concentrate all your thoughts on it and do not appreciate being interrupted. This name creates a deliberate and methodical way of thinking and speaking; it takes you time to learn but, once you have mastered a subject, you do not forget it. You are very systematic in all you do and do not like to see things out of order; however, there is a tendency for you to be too fussy. There is a seriousness to your nature which could cause you to worry over your responsibilities, especially when confronted with change and uncertainty. You are overly fond of heavy foods such as meat, potatoes, breads and pastries and could suffer with stomach and intestinal disorders, constipation or boils.

Actually the end is only missing: "If you don't change your eating habits, you will suffer from serious illnesses. So forward this to at least 20 people and you will have good luck!"

[Oliver]

Really bad to say this but my name doesn't mean anything. ??? :-[ :'(
One thing that I now that it's a men's name (have you ever seen a girl with a name "Oliver" I don't think so)

[jelleghys]

It does mean a thing, you know an olive? Like in olive oil?
A friend of mine is called Olivier and he says it comes from the olive...

[Zonkie]

Hey Oliver,
check Behind the Name for your name, that tells the meaning of many names and where they come from.

[beyondsociety]

But If I look for Bill, its there.

[CESS.tk]

But If I look for Bill, its there.

You prolly misspelled it yourself.
I'm a William too! (actually it's Willem)

[Eigen]

Your first name of Eigen has given you a very practical, hard-working, systematic nature. Your interests are focused on technical, mechanical, and scientific things, to the exclusion of interests of an artistic, musical, or social nature. You have a rather skeptical outlook on life and rather materialistic standards. In reaching your goals, you are very independent and resourceful, patient and determined. You can be so very positive and definite in your own ideas and opinions that others sense a lack of tact and friendliness in your manner of expression. You are inclined to be rather demanding and self-centred in your personal wants, and your own desires can be so overriding that you fail to recognize or appreciate the feelings, opinions, or desires of others. As a consequence, difficulties in relations within the family or with close associates can arise. Weaknesses in the health centre in the head, and in the stomach and intestinal organs. ;D
