Maybe you sound different due to being exposed to people who did come from elsewhere when you were younger and you picked up some of their speech patterns?  I know that's why I sound somewhat unusual, because of all the different homes of people I stayed over with while mum was at work, I had been exposed to Indian-Jewish accents, Scottish accents, Hungrian accents and even German accents when I was between the ages of 3-8 years of age and its 'currupted' my Aussie accent majorly.

The thing is that I thought I sounded normal. I talk like my mom and my siblings, so I thought that's how I'm supposed to talk. The explanation I eventually gave myself was that we don't have any discernible accent in my family despite being Black and Southern, and for that matter, country as hell.

    Oh yes, congratulations satyreyes!

    Your name is hard to spell from memory.

Just think of it as a compound word: satyr + eyes.  It's supposed to be sort of a quirky pun; to satirize something, you look at it through satyr eyes.  It's a pity the most common pronunciation of "satyr" rhymes with "later" and not with "latter."

My own name is Kristeva Daniel Revey-Atkins.  Impressive, heh?  My friends call me either Yuki, Hyacinth, Hamster, or Daniel.  My first name means 'the eve of Christ's death' in Hungarian or maybe German have to ask my mom on that one.  Daniel was my father's mother's maiden name.  Actually, my middle name being Daniel is a most odd coincidence as it was also the name of my dead husband's lover. (who is also dead)

"The eve of Christ's death?"  That seems a little uncharitable, since Kristeva is clearly Christ + eve; it could just as well mean "Christmas Eve," at least to my ears.

Anyway, my IRL name is Brian Nathaniel Auriti.  It has this great dactyllic rhythm to it.  "Brian" comes from Celtic, but it's hard to pin down just where; I've seen it defined as "hill," "powerful," "essence," or "honor," or just linked to the Irish king Brian Boru who was its first notable bearer.  (Also its last notable bearer.  Have you ever heard of any celebrities named Brian?)  I've seen two totally distinct explanations of Nathaniel: "gift of God," from the Hebrew, and "the uncaring," from Scottish.  I don't much like either one, but it's a nice name.  "Auriti" is the hardest of all to define, except to say that it's Italian.  My best guess, based on my scanty knowledge of Romance language etymology, is that it means "golden," or possibly "dawn."

I won't even try to put that all together; it would make even less sense than it does now

Its fine and sadly the only famous Brian i know of is that dog from family guy and your last name looks interesting and maybe you could ask the Italian guy on the forum more about your name.

So the fathers were wielding around their daughters?

I can interpret that as a serious case of innuendo/incest/pedophilia... OH. MY. GOD.

Personally, I'd like to interpret my name the SKU way, but I don't know how the idea really works
My name is only one syllable, and my parents were, well, not as artistic as some of yours are...

So, My name is (highlight folks) Angela Darien Savage

So my first name, Angel=greek for messenger. Not Hard.
Middle name is male. Darien=Persian for 'He who upholds the good' or 'wealthy'. I've always hear it being interpreted as being 'noble, princely, etc.'
My last  name-the most commonly accepted one in my fam.:English and Scottish: nickname for a wild or uncouth person, from Middle English, Old French salvage, sauvage ‘untamed’ (Late Latin salvaticus literally ‘man of the woods’, a derivative of Latin silva ‘wood’, influenced by Latin salvus ‘whole’, i.e. natural)

I am the Natural Angel of Nobility?
Or perhaps the Wild and Noble Angel?

I met someone with the same name as me the other day. My new goal in life is to find someone with the same name and the same spelling.

Apparently she went to a Catholic school, and her mother got really upset because they wouldn't call her "Mary Ann," but instead they just called her, "Mary." To get them to stop, she spelt her name, "Maryann" from then on. My name is "Marianne," so I've never had that problem, and I'm surprised she had that issue at all.

Once i met an "Envidia Jimenez" (envidia = envy)

And my video card is an nVidia, christ that's an awesome reference joke. Everyone should envy those who have nVidia video cards according to the company, I guess.

well, forum name would be rather logical ; The beautiful panther is Juri's nickname in the manga.

Ok... My first name is... Barbara. In hebrew it means something like "the outstanding" "the stranger" or"the leprous" >>... in german declaration it's called "The unique". Doesn't change the point XD

there's also the latin "barbarus" you can translate with "wild, foreign, stranger"

but it also has a lot to do with St. Barbara of Nikodemia.

The legend of Saint Barbara says that she was born about 300 A.D. in Nicomedia, Bithynia in Asia Minor. Her father, Dioscurus, was the head of a wealthy aristocratic family. Her parents adored her for her beauty, intelligence and modesty. Dioscurus, who was cruel and a pagan, had her shut in a tower in order to preserve her from suitors.

Influenced by the deacon Valentinus, who later became a bishop and martyr, she nevertheless secretly converted to Christianity. Her father commanded that she be built a bath-house, so that she would not have to use the public baths. The design for the bath-house originally had two windows, but Barbara had a third installed to commemorate the Trinity. She also carved a cross into the marble floor.

Her father, seeing these changes, discovered that she was a Christian. Dioscurus went to his daughter, and when she tried to convert him to Christianity he became furious and wanted to kill her. However, her prayers created an opening in the tower wall and she escaped. Pursued by her father and guards, she hid in a gorge in the mountains. She stayed hidden here until a shepherd betrayed her. As legend has it, the shepherd was transformed into a marble statue and his herd into grasshoppers.

Despite being tortured, Barbara held true to her faith. During the night, the dark prison was bathed in light and new miracles occurred. Every morning her wounds were healed. Torches that were to be used to burn her went out as soon as they came near her. But she did not waver from her faith. Her father had her taken to a Roman imperial magistrate during a persecution of Christians, who ordered her to be beheaded, and directed that her father carry out the sentence himself. He dragged her up to a mountain and murdered her. However, after having done so, he became frightened and tried to run away but, according to the story, was struck dead by lightning in divine retribution. This was the fourth miraculous occurrence during Barbara’s long and painful martyrdom, and according to the legend and the Julian calendar, Barbara died a martyr’s death on 4 December 306 A.D. Juliana of Nicomedia suffered the death of a martyr along with Barbara and was likewise sainted.

An alternate ending to the legend concludes with Dioscorus beheading Barbara himself and being struck dead by lightning afterwards on his way home.

Her memory

St. Barbara was formerly one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Her association with lightning caused her to be invoked against lightning and fire; by association, she also became the patron of artillery and mining. Her feast was formerly celebrated on December 4; in the 1969 reform of the Roman Catholic liturgy her public cultus was suppressed to a purely local celebration, and her name was dropped from the litany of saints.

In the 12th century, the relics of St. Barbara were brought from Constantinople to the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in Kiev, where they were kept until the 1930s, when they were transferred to St. Vladimir's Cathedral in the same city. Her veneration in the Eastern Orthodox Church remains very popular and her feast day is celebrated on December 4.

In the Spanish language, the word santabárbara means the magazine of a ship or fortress. It was customary to have a statue of Saint Barbara at the magazine to protect the ship or fortress from suddenly exploding. She is the namesake of the U.S. city of Santa Barbara, California, located north of Los Angeles. The Franciscan mission there is named in her honor. There were many churches dedicated in her name in Russia, including the one in Moscow next to Saint Basil's Cathedral and in Yaroslavl.

My family-name is Plakolm. And I don'T really have informations of it, but the roots go back to skandinavia... maybe vikings... oo;

Ahh..... my name means Disbelieved Mountain Flame of the Moor taken as a whole.

Cassandra = Bright Flame (Greek)

Blair = Of the Moor (Saxon)

Montano = Mountain (Italian)

My username comes from Antheia so...


Anthiena = "Flower-like Goddess" or "Flowery Goddess"

I kind of like my name, Lydia Megan.

Lydia meaning "from Lydia" in Greek...dammit I wanted an actual meaning not something lame.
Megan, as a form of Margaret, meaning "pearl".

Also, people used to get confused all the time, as my mother always called me by my middle name, Megan. Everyone else was always called by their first name, and each time I was asked what my middle name is, and it ended up in an explanation I've had to use umpteenth MILLION times, saying "no, Megan is my MIDDLE name. Lydia is my first."

A naming game!?! Count me in! My actual name is Melanie, which seems to be Greek in origin. I couldn't ask for a better link to my name, given my obvious interests. Apparently it means 'dark skinned', 'dark clothed', or 'dark flower'. I think 'dark haired' was also linked to one of the meanings... They all fit pretty well. I love flowers, and in the summer I tan quite dark. There's supposedly inuit blood in my family a few generations back, which would account for my dark complexion(or would, anyways, if I didn't spend so much time indoors.)

My screen name is from Greek mythology, and has several different myths behind it. Adrasteia was either a nympth serving under Rhea, or a synonym for other goddesses. Her name means 'the inescapable'. I thought it was neat when I first read about it, but now that I think back, it makes me seem a little stalker-ish...

My family name, Stewart, is of Scottish origin, which is appropriate. Most people who live in newfoundland have ancestors who traveled over from Europe for fish. We're a big fishing community, really - it's pretty much how newfoundland defines itself...

I did read somewhere that one of my ancestors assassinated a member of the Scottish royal family, though, and had to flee the country.

Katelyn is an alternate spelling of Caitlin, which is the traditional Gaelic(Irish) spelling for Kathleen, which is derived from Katherine, meaning "pure".

Thanks :3 


Is there a name that means naughty bitch? 


If so I'm so up for a name change.
