You're name's not Megan, is it? 8)

My cousin's called Megan. I like it :)
Btw, what does it mean when someone says "You're the apple of my eye"? Was there some pseudo-romantic person in history that got an apple in his eye from loving someone so much?

That's how an Augapfel looks:

Ah ok. So does being the apple of someone's eye mean that they are the one thing that fills the void?
-
Alex is definitely the sexiest name IMO

i like my kids names because not many people in their classes have the same names. they happen to be russian names. maybe it is because we live in usa and there's not as many russian names that are common here (being pennsylvania dutch country). misha, alexis, ivana.

Eusebius and Florestan ;D

I like your kids names Pianistimo.
I like my brothers names and my own name.
Dror, Amit, Gilad, Ariel, Alon.
All hebrew. Took some getting used to.
Also like Eitan, Dar, Raz, Yossi, Arie, Tal, Rifka, Meital, Michal, Nihli, Liat.
English names I like are Charles, James, Henry, Harriot, Saul.
I like a lot of names.
-
gilad, I like Rifka!!
-
Rivka
Rivka means "to tie." Rivka appears in the Bible as one of the four matriarchs, the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob. Rivka was known for her great kindness, e.g. when she drew well-water for Abraham's servant and all his camels. (see Genesis ch. 24) (variations: Rifka, Rebecca)
hehe. So thats where the name is first recorded in history.

it's nice to know meanings. my son's means 'little bear.' he's grown into a good sized teenager now - and his chest, hands, and feet are like his father's. i think he fits his name.
alexis means goddess of wisdom or some such thing - and she's the one that is making the straight A's.
ivana means gracious gift of God - which she is. she's very sweet and gracious and tender.
i always liked the name 'gilad' or 'gilead' too. doesn't it mean 'balm' or soothing - as 'balm in gilead.'
-
mine, Alia, means something related to "wings", "air", and along those lines, in a couple languages.
I love it, especially since I have a burning lifelong obsession with wings. (haha there're two entire walls in my room devoted to pictures of things/people involving wings, and a really cool pair of really big (Halloween) wings too. and songs and poems)
-
Gilad literally means happiness forever. But interestingly i see "monument of testimony" given on the net quite a bit, and that it is derived from gilead.
Also intersting that Alia means the same thing in a few languages. In hebrew it meas "to go up" or "to ascend"
-
My real name, Eleanor, has two meanings depending which language you care to read - from the same Greek root as Helen, meaning light, or from a terribly obscure Germanic root 'Aenor' meaning warrior. I generally prefer the Germanic version as it's also where Eleanor of Aquitane got her name (she was named for her mother, Aenor, and in the local dialect she was known as Eleanor to mean 'the other Aenor' to avoid confusion). The things you learn having parents who are history teachers...

I don't think I'll answer that question ;)

National Geographic said that "Emma" and "Jacob" are the most popular names for 2005 (2006 still being tabulated). Then they broke it down state by state, and I couldn't believe how many states had Emma as the most named name. The state where I live had it, but I have never met anyone named Emma. I guess because they are all babies.
Several states prefered "Madison" to "Jacob," and a couple of New England states revived the old "Olivia." The NG adds this interesting point, "These days, [the common] taste leans toward names with vowels airing out the consonants rather than harder sounding appellations like Gertrude, an 1890s hit."

i have no idea what my first name means but i do know that my last name is a derivation of a word in spanish which means "to make suspicious" or "to scare".

I like Myrtle.
