S/O poll: What's your name mean?

Brie2010 · July 2010

My first name is a hybrid of my mom's maiden name (O'Brien) and her middle name (Anne). My middle name, Michelle, is the female version of my dad's name, Michael.

I have no idea what my last name means, other than that it's British.

[QUOTE]In the baby name book I looked at, Megan means "Pearl/Virginal", Kate means "Purity". I guess I wasn't cut out to be a hoar. I have no idea what my married last name means, but my maiden name is derived from a Transylvanian word for "Royalty".

I have a love/hate relationship with my Transylvanian roots. Sometimes I think it's really cool that my family immgrated from there when it still existed ... other times I hate that people look at my like I'm psychotic when I mention it.

The most annoying thing though, is like 70% of the time when I tell somebody, they look at me weird for a moment, and then seriously say "Now that you mention it, you <strong>do</strong> look like a vampire!". Um, I didn't say I was a vampire, kthx, lol.

My name spelled properly (my parents changed the spelling) in Dutch: Marijke, which is a derivative of Mary, which means "bitter". AWESOME. (I am not bitter btw).

wwnbw · July 2010

Wednesday....ummm the 4th day of the week also known as hump day...my name is pretty awesome but the meaning well....

tidetravel · July 2010

First name is a variant of Guinevere; "fair, white, smooth."

Maiden name: proportion/harmony.

Married name: dark eyes. I think a more appropriate meaning is probably drunk Irish bastards.

andyandhillary · July 2010

First name: full of cheer, joy

Maiden name: nothing. No one knows. It was butched at Ellis Island.

Married name: dutch for "the young"

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · July 2010

Fi and I know a guy who has a danish last name. His father always told him is meant "proud one." He was talking to a guy who spoke fluent danish one day and told him about it. The guy said, "Yeah.... or it COULD mean arrogant bastard." You have to know this guy. The name fits him perfectly.

Anyway, I have a Scottish last name and so my name has a prefix meaning "son of." (Lots of name prefixes mean "son of" or "grandson of" like Mc, O', Mac, etc. And -son means "son of" as well.) Not sure of the meaning of FI's last name, but it's German.

My first name, Meredith, is Welsh and means something like "ocean deity."

Night_Sprite · July 2010

My first name means '(little) pearl,' middle name means 'the month of May,' and my last name is a noun and a verb, so it's pretty self-explanatory.

First name - "Pearl" or "Pearl of Wisdom" or "the strong one"

cnbrantner · July 2010

I just looked up what my future last name means and it means 'pile of earth.' nice.

ggmae · July 2010

Meg, our first names mean the same thing? Is Meaghan derived from Margaret, because I know that my name, Greta, and Gretel are and they all mean "(little) pearl."

katiewhompus · July 2010

Kristi - "follower of christ" (not so much), "annointed"
Rae - Form of Rachel (Ewe)
Last name maiden - French origin, gloomy curmudgeon, to grumble or complain

I actually couldn't get a meaning of my married last name because it is an adjective...so...I can't really say what it means without saying it lol.

I wanna keep my last name, ha!

bellashauntee · July 2010

My first and middle name do not mean anything and we cannot find the meaning for my last name.

My parents made up my first name, Shauntee, my middle name is Tysin, I know that Tyson means son of Ty, but since I spell mine with an I, it’s not the same. My last name is so uncommon that we cannot even find our crest, so we do not know what it means.

saxy414 · July 2010

I'm another Lauren...so "crowned with laurel" for me, as well.
Then "Elizabeth"=God's promise.
Last name=Came up with Scottish, but there's no meaning for it because there aren't enough records. It's similar to another last name that is slightly more popular, so I think it was probably just mispronounced or misspelled at some point, and we got stuck with it.

Hey LC--I have a silly question for you. Do you pronouce your name with an "aw" sound or with a long "o" sound?

brookelynpaisley · July 2010

Brooke - little stream
Middle name - a misspelled and pronounced Polish name (my maiden name)
Married name - a king's settlement

aprovencher21 · July 2010

My first name is a combination of names...so the first part means "gracious" and the second name means "pure."

My last name is an old French name from the southern region of France.

katiewhompus · July 2010

future mrs - You are now the third Kristi/Christie/Kristy Rae I have met on the boards. Weird...
