or horse serpent (??)Miranda = extraordinary, to be admired 
Mai = brightness or coyote (??)All the girls in my family have 2 middle names, both beginning with 'm' !

Hmmmm - can't remember the Chippy Nipper (?) or the weigh bridge. We've got a big stone arch thingy, a river, a (very ugly) catherdral, shite (and I mean really) clubs, expensive drinks, cobble stones and a very good jacket potatoe man...

Funny how many people don't like their names at all! I'm not too thrilled about mine, it's a bit long and slightly posh, but after a couple of decades you get used to it.Dominic - from the Late Latin name Dominicus meaning "of the Lord". This name was traditionally given to a child born on Sunday. Sunday's child is happy and gay!I generally go by Dom, which leads to people I meet in loud bars and clubs calling be Don, Tom or John until they're corrected!

I'm right with you on the loud bar deal, Dom. I've gotten every thing from "Den" to your name to People actually thinking that my parents named me "Dog". It's only three letters and one syllabol, I didn't think people would have such a hard time with it.The really annoying thing about about having the name Dan is you end up turning around every time someone says "Damn". Bloody annoying.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.[This message has been edited by SickpuPpy (edited 06 January 2002).]

Alexander gets you killed. Alexandra gets you killed twice. Alex is exceptable. Ali, for some reason, I find perculiar. Almost too familiar. Ali Bongo is what my mum calls me and now myh girlfriend does too. My big sis used too shout 'AL!'. I'd say 'What?'. She'd say she'd just hurt herself and was saying OW!. Very damn funny. Now when anyone says OW! I say 'What?'. It's a curse I tell you.Alexander. Defender of men. The greek name for Paris, Abductor of Helen of Troy.

Hey Cantus! My names James too and I have Fraggle Rock as my ring tone! Spooky!------------------"The tincture of night began to suffuse the soup of the afternoon.

That's well bizarre- this thread inspired me to check my own name's meaning(It's Agata, by the way)and here's what I found:Meaning: good,fieryWhere it comes from:Apparently St Agat(h)a was burned alive in Sicilly, and since then she's supposed to protect from fire, lightning strike and volcano eruptions. Basicly,she's suppose to be a "hot" and strong goddess, patron of bread(?) and fire. Well, what can I say?Thanks for the idea

CPG, you're way too young to know who Ali Bongo is (count yourself very lucky indeed).He is/was a very dire magician from the 80's. The basis of his act was that he was a wazir or some such from a royal court in Persia. So he dressed in gaudy, over the top arabic stylee clothes, donned a rediculous moustache and generally acted like a git.His magic was good. But, unfortunately, he had the stage presence of a down market pantomime Abanaazer.His most notable appearances (and presumably his career highlights) were those made on Crackerjack *idly wonders who will be first* Please forgive my cynisism and any errors in the preceding post. A guady over-dressed magician on a unicycle beat me with some staves as a child.....

Jangla - I got my brother a Fraggle Rock ring tone a while back. I have Fairytale of New York by The Pogues on mine.It's not all that spooky. Unless you've ever written a thesis on Fraggle Rock. Or you have a massive selection of Fraggle Rock episodes on video ( along with dozens of muppet shows - original and Muppets Tonight - several episodes of Jim Henson's Storyteller, every single Muppet movie produced thus far and virtually every episode of Dinosaurs). Or if you had an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the life and works of Jim Henson. If any of those things applied to you.....Then I might say that it's a spooky coincidence.------------------C@ntusThere's only one way of life and that's your own.
