Most names tend to have roots in ancient cultures that made names based on things that were good. My first name, (I'm half Japanese) is Yuitachi. I know you'll make fun of it, but it means brave weasel. So what does your name mean?

Mine means, "Holy Assassin" which, when coupled with my last name (which means Son of the dragon king), makes me "The Holy Assassin Dragon Prince".

Brave weasel? Well, if Wikipedia is to believed, Gordon is a Celtic name that means "Brave Hill." Gotta love those brave hills.

I have no idea.
Jamie is pretty boring anyway.

EDIT: Wikipedia says it's a pet form of James and it is Hebrew.

My class checked this in religious studies a few years back. Jaime meant something like.. lying cheating bastard, or something.

edit: and with Jaime I mean, I'm the lying cheating bastard, not the poster above me. :x

The name is John.
My name means "Beloved Son of James".
Which is a reference to the Bible.
Which is made somewhat hilarious by the fact that I am not religious.
But I love the name John.
It sounds so odd to me, and that little "h" and that big "J" just seem like the perfect couple, but that whore "o" is with "J", because "J" didn't want to be alone in his life, so he goes with "o", when he should have waited to be with "h"....
And "n" watches by the sidelines as "J" slowly tears himself into pieces because "J" is a nice-guy letter, and everyone knows that nice-guy letters don't dump anyone at all. So "J" is with "o", while "h" and "n" watch by the sidelines, teary eyed...
I love rants.

Adrian means dark one, I presume it is a derivative of Hadrianus meaning citizen of Hades.

Edit: Well it seems that "dark one" is actually in reference to skin tone--rather than someone who broods too much as I had thought. The name itself actually means someone from Adria (straightforward) which is a port on the Adriatic sea.

From Behind the Name [http://www.behindthename.com/]:


CHRISTOPHER

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English

Pronounced: KRIS-tə-fər [key]
From the Late Greek name Χριστοφορος (Christophoros) meaning "bearing Christ", derived from Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". It was used by early Christians as a metaphorical name, expressing that they carried Christ in their hearts. In the Middle Ages, literal interpretations of the name's etymology led to legends about a Saint Christopher who carried the young Jesus across a river. He has come to be regarded as the patron saint of travellers.

As an English given name, Christopher has been in general use since the 15th century. In Denmark it was borne by three kings (their names are usually spelled Christoffer), including the 15th-century Christopher of Bavaria who also ruled Norway and Sweden. Other famous bearers include Italian explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), English playwright Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), and the fictional character Christopher Robin from A. A. Milne's 'Winnie-the-Pooh' books.
