What Does Your (Real) Name Mean?

[Beauts]

Inspired by a conversation in the shoutbox about the meaning of different names in Zelda, I thought it'd be interesting if we all talked about what our real names' meanings or roots are.

If you don't feel comfortable actually telling us your real name that's fine, you can just stick to what it means bonus points though if you can say why your parents called you what they did!

My real name, as many of you know, is Georgia. This is not just the name of a southern US state, or of a country south of Russia. It is also, obviously, the feminine form of George, which means 'farmer'. St George is also the patron saint of England, where I'm from, fyi. I was named this after the song 'Georgia On My Mind' by Ray Charles though, not for it's meaning or any other reason.

There are a small handful of people here that know my real name but I dont feel like saying it in a thread like this. My real name is a bible name and I dont know why my parents chose it other than them being Christians. But it means "one who is close to God", and I find that pleasantly ironic considering I grew up to be non-religious.

Adversary.

 

[Jirohnagi]

Insanity.

 

[TattooArtist]

Sinful.

Several people on here already know my real name. It's Petter, a Scandinavian version of Peter. It means rock (kinda funny since my avatar is coincidentally of Rock Lee). ^^

Chase (v): To pursue

Okay, looked it up, and that joke wasn't actually far off. It was a Middle English nickname for a huntsman, and means "To Chase or Hunt"
