    Neither of my names, Windy and Wendy, really have any meaning. We all know what Windy means, and I am neither breezy nor gassy. Tthe best I can tell everyone thinks Wendy was created by J.M. Barrie for Peter Pan. Some people say Wendy means friend, so I guess that does fit!

    My kid's names
    Cale- (gaelic) means thin, slender - he is 6'1 and 200 pounds- so no doesn't fit
    Maxwell - (old english) means Maccus' pool - wth? In latin Max means greatest, so that does fit him
    Zachary - (hebrew) means yahweh has remembered - again wth?
    Wynn - (old english) means bright friend, definitely fits her!

    I will say, I have 3 sisters and 4 kids and all of our names fit our personalities more than what the name actually means fits us

    LOL @ Raina!

    Phyllis means mythical girl or green foliage. Well, I'm not a plant by any means but I do love to putter in the garden. Mythical? That's disturbing. I try to be genuine and transparent with most people so for me, it's all hogwash. :ohwell:

    all of my names (first, middle, and last) have something to do with water...\
    first name means - island surrounded by water
    middle name means - waterfall
    last name means - island with water running through it

    I think I am pretty easy going and go with the flow and so sure, it makes sense that this would be my name...however I am getting marrried and his last name translates to "nine-evil" which in reinsanace time translated to mean "666"...so umm I don't think I'm the devil...makes me question him though....hahaha Just kidding :) (but his name really does mean 9 evil :))

    My name is David which means "beloved" (Hebrew origin), as in "dearly loved" or "dear to the heart."

    My wife loves me, and my kids love me, so I suppose it fits me well.

    Sources I've come across say my name is possibly from the Old Norse word 'brand' meaning 'sword'. or . The name was used first in Scotland, as a feminine form of Brendan. My namesake was Brenda Lee the singer - "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" and "I'm sorry...so sorry" - my Dad liked her singing!

    Carrie Lynn - Melody or song and Waterfall - I guess the waterfall is my song...makes sense considering I have a waterfall beside me on my desk and love to listen to it all day


    Aeryn - daughter or Eire (my daughters name)
    Devon - poet (my son's name)

    my name is tracy...in old saxon it means "corageous battler" and in gaelic it means "cow herder"...and since i can trace my lineage to both, but have never herded cattle in my life...i'll go with "corageous battler.....lol....honestly though, it does fit me well...i am bold, courageous, and i fight for what i believe in vehemently
