What does your first name mean?

[Ph33nix]

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.

see above^

and my last name means descendant of Brian Boru I'm sure you can figure this out once I say I'm Irish.

Daniel - got chucked in a Lion's den by the Romans for a giggle. Got out again. That's about it really. Well, I say that, but I reckon there's a bit missing from the bible where they stabbed him in with a gladius-can't imagine they let that one slide...

Hmmm.. That's nice..

The only thing I really had to go on behind my name is that I was supposedly named after a comic book character.

 

[AvsJoe]

After a quick Wiki check, I got:

The name can be translated from Hebrew as signifying "The Lord will increase/add"

So that, I guess.

[Ganthrinor]

From Wikipedia, because I'm that lazy:

Origins -
William is from the Norman language (although Norman French was Latin-based and the proper name is Germanic) and is a cognate from the German Wilhelm, and of Germanic origin: wil = "will or desire"; helm;"helmet, protection"; thus the Old German name Wilhelm and the Old Norse name Vilhjálmr have the same roots. The name William has today been interpreted to mean protector of the kingdom or realm.
