My country's mainland has many bears, a word bear is used for some family names and one of 48 prefactures is also has bear related name.

My name, Lucy, means little light but thats only my nick name i don't know what my real name, Lucette, means.

Mine means 'God is gracious', or, at least, it did in the original Hebrew version.

mine means princess

Is it Sarah? :)

The same. It's a variant of Lucy. ;)

Jane, Jean, John?

My name means 'beloved' apparently :o

thank you. :D

Do you pronounce your name with the 'i' = Kar-IN, or the same sound as 'Karen' but spelt differently?

I had never heard of the variant 'Karin' before I met you :)

Is it Sarah?


Is your name Lucille? :D

Jane, Jean, John?

From the member headline, I would guess 'John' :)

Mine means "little bear" in Latin... :o
Is your name Lucille? :D

Oh, go on, tell everyone your name before I have to. Or should I just provide further hints?

* It's the diminutive of the first part of two well-known constellations.
* It's a villain in a Disney cartoon.
* It's the twin sister of a main character in a well-known American sitcom.

Am I right?

Well I think Karen means pure I suppose my name is a variation of that.
Karin

It's a variation of Katherine (Kathairine), which does mean "pure" in Greek.

robert - leader of men ...(i guess women too) :o

pronounced KarIN :)

Mine is a variant of the English/Greek 'Cora' which means 'heart' or 'maiden'... the name 'Corey' itself is Irish/Gaelic for 'from the round hallow or hill'. <-that's kinda boring ;) I'll go with 'heart', thank you :)

Oh my god, you're kidding?

Where do you find the meanings?

You got it. Now we just need EPbabe to confirm it, although I doubt that my Latin is that rusty.

You know what your name means, right?

Erm, 'beloved', apparently.


Edit: Yours means 'Healer' yes?

Mine is Hebrew for "who is like God!!! :eek:

Erm, 'beloved', apparently.

Yes, via the French past participle aimée "beloved;" the Latin equivalent would be Amata. Also related to it is Amanda, which is the Latin gerundive, which is literally "she who must be loved."

Edit: Yours means 'Healer' yes?

Something like that. It's related to iatros, which is "healer" (as in psych-iatrist "soul healer"), but it's hardly attested to in Greek, so it's a bit dubious. It's better known as one of the Greek equivalents of the Hebrew "Jehovah," which is funny because one of my brothers is named Joshua, and that's another equivalent of Jehovah.

this thread is cute!

mine is of Greek origin and means "honey bee"

Yeah. One of my English Literature teachers is called Amanda, but she goes mainly by 'Amy' whereas most of the other people I have met with that name chose "Mandy".

I had a student with the same name in one of my classes, and when I told her what her name meant, she was mortified. Don't know why.

The mil- in English "mildew (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mildew)" is from the same Indo-European stem meaning "honey." "Mead" (honey wine) is another English word that retains echoes of the original stem. I vaguely recall that there's a third English word that has it, but now I can't remember what it is.

mines means princess too...i deffo aint no princess

I thought it was a weird meaning when I was a kid too! I never heard that thing about mildew :eek: I just saw this too in regards to my name: Mythology--the name of a princess of Crete who was changed into a bee after she learned how to collect honey.
(Oh my name's Melissa in case anyone was wondering. It still baffles me to this day how people mix up the name Michelle with Melissa. They sound nothing alike to me!)

The boy's name Cornelius \c(o)-rne-lius, cor-nelius\ is pronounced kor-NEEL-yus. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "horn". A famous Latin clan name, often used under the Roman Empire. Biblical: Cornelius was a Roman centurion who was baptized by Peter. Also the name of a third-century pope who is venerated as a saint. Railroad millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Don't forget Yukon Cornelius, the greatest prospector of the North:

Apparently mine means the same thing in Hebrew.

Mine means "worker with brick or stone". ;)

My full name is after an Island in the Pacific ocean and begins with a "St".

I am also the Greek Godess of Light.:eek:.....oh yeah.:p

Mason? One of those new-fangled names.

Greek goddess of light? Not the woman whose face launched a thousand ships? She was only a half-goddess; her dad was into bestiality.

Me too!

Me too!

name twins! :p

And I'll just pre-empt the scads of Jennifers on here by saying that their name comes from "juniper." I just saw the sole Leonardo da Vinci painting here in America (http://www.artchive.com/artchive/L/leonardo/ginevra.jpg.html) the other day; the model's name is Ginevra, and the bush in the background is a juniper. Oh, that Leonardo! What a joker!

Now why anyone would name their daughter after a bush is beyond me.

And the Donovon song "Jennifer Juniper" - never thought of it that way before.

I really wanted a Greek origin name for my daughter, so I chose Maia - but I can't remember what it means! Couldn't think of one for my son, so he got Jude (which I guess is some religious name)

This is what Maia means (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_%28mythology%29). That's pretty obscure; in other words, I had to look it up. :D

Thanks!

I did remember something about Hermes...and she often refers to herself as the 'owner of Spring'! I thought it also had something to do about being a good mother - as the dinosaur Maiasaurus was though to be a good mum. (this is what the teacher told my daughter anyway)

Originally I wanted to name her Persephone....but the grandma's said no to that.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with grandma--naming your daughter after someone who was essentially abducted and held as a sexual slave for several months out of every year would have been a pretty bad idea. Penelope, maybe.

my first name, Christina...means "anointed one" or something to that effect. it's cuz it's a derivative of "Christ." my last name means "little kiss" in Italian. how cute! :p

so u r christs little kiss. saucy!

so u r christs little kiss. saucy!

hahaha, yes! :D

So, uh, what's her name? That's what we're here to discuss, right?

What's the link to those pics again? She looks like Chloe Sevigny.

Mason? One of those new-fangled names.

Yep. Apparently I'm named for a character on the old American soap opera Santa Barbara.:o I like it, its fairly unique for someone my age. It's becoming more popular now, but it wasn't back in '89 when I popped out.

I went to school w/2 masons, and they popped out in 1979 and 1981 respectively. I don't think its that weird in the southern US states...

Really? Didn't know that. I've only encountered one other Mason in my time. Oddly enough, he is my age, lives in my county, and shares my last name of Lowry, only his is spelled with a "e" (Lowery). :)

WOW That is really weird. Does he do what you do for school and drive what you drive lol :)

Any of those "working" names we have a lot of in the south. Tailor/Taylor before it became popular with the MILFS was a big one. I should go get my yearbook and find more lol

The most popular 'regular' names when i was in school were Michael Justin Christopher Ryan Nick Christina Jessica Michelle Melissa and Jennifer. We always had tons of those.

If i had a girl I wanted to name her Hannah but then i got my rescue pup and HER name was Hannah so thats out for a human. And I really love Olive and Olivia but now everyone's naming their stupid kids that so now thats out too, I don't want my imaginary kid to have a boring run of the mill name.

LOL I don't know what he drives but he does play football and I've had to report on his games for the paper. Imagine the readers confusing whilst reading an article about Mason Lowery BY Mason Lowry. :D

Is MILFS the obvious acronym, or something far less sinister?:o

I agree. I love having a sort-of unique name, and I want my kids to have to same. I want two boys, Cameron and Conrad. Not "unique," but a little out of the ordinary.

Yeah MILFS is what you think it is. just those rich wives who choose to be stay at home moms because they are pampered by their workaholic husbands. the kind that have kids as accessories more than out of love, hahaha.

I love Conrad! That's a great name. I've only met one and he was a middle aged, black, ex-navy pharmacist who'd been married at least three times and was a total riot about everything. He loved life even though he wasn't lucky in relationships, I miss working with him!

Name: Marta
Origin: Aramaic
Meaning: "lady; mistress of the house". Biblical: the sister of Mary and Lazarus. She is patron saint of the helping professions. The name was revived by and popular with the Puritans.

My name is Monique.
I used to get compliments when I was younger on it and I loved having such a unique and mysterious name, but it seems to have become popular in the 90's.

(The name Monique comes from the French origin. The meaning of the name Monique is: Variant of Mona: madonna. Wise. Advisor.)

What's interesting is that most people think I am African American. The French origin does not ever cross their mind.
I deal with national accounts at work so I talk to employees of my company from all over the county. There have been a few times where I went to visit a location and you can see the shock and sometimes dissapointment on their faces when they find out I am the Monique they have been dealing with for all these years:) It's really weird when that happens.

Stephanie = It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "crown, garland". Feminine form of Stephen. The name of the first Christian martyr was a favored name choice from the early Christian era.

Apparently the name I have been given (cheyenne) means "unintelligible speaker". hahahahaha. thanks a ton, native Americans. ;p

Mine's Finnish and Estonian pet form of ANNA. Apparently Anna means graceful and smart.
