Its not nice to laugh..., (funny names) Options

[Mazelure]

Wow... my name is ironic for two reasons... I am of spaniard decend but my name it Latin... the other reason it is ironic is because it mean "servant of the church" but I am athiest... hmmm... sweet irony.

[mplantinga]

I have yet to find anyone, dutch or otherwise, who can actually find an origin or meaning for my last name: Plantinga (yes, my user id is that boring). My father was born in Harlingen, The Netherlands and moved to Canada (with his family) when he was 8. I've run into many other Plantingas online and out there in the world, but nobody seems to know anything about the origin of the name. Even the link provided by the illustrious Aki had no insight. I'm doomed to a life of mediocrity and meaninglessness (sorry, perhaps I should have said "without meaning" to keep the word from becoming a mouthful). Well, I better get back to work, or I'll be here all day.

When my sister broke her collar bone, one of the doctors who examined her was named "Dr. Wang".

[Pisces]

As I said before I live in New Zealand with lots of Asian friends so I don't really take notice of these things, but I know a few Wangs, and there is also a girl with the last name Poon, said like pwn, be good if Wang and pwn got together.

Both my first and last name are of the Christian religion, but I'm Bhuddist .

WOW I never knew what my name meant until now, I thought it was a variation of sean (my name is Shawn)

But really it is british and according to the 20,000 names site, Shawn means "from the shady grove." My name is so hawt right now Alas there was nothing about my last name.

Heh at the middleschool in my town there was a French teacher named Mrs. Grim

The correct spelling of the name your's is derived from is Seán, which is an Irish name

My maiden name was funny ... it actually said a little sentence when you pronounced my first and last name phonetically. People used to crack up laughing when they first heard it. So even though now my married last name is Italian and hard for people to get right and somewhat unwieldly with my first name ... I still prefer spelling out the name rather than being automatically laughed at.

Oh & I was a first female child in both families so my first name is a combination of both my grandmothers' names. Very, very old fashioned sounding and spelled uniquely because my mom was Polish. She had quite a naming-day festival with four daughters. lolol

For my name now - think = AnnaMaria Alberghetti. That is a famous Italian woman, but my name is a similar type mouthful of vowels.

That must have been fun whenever you had to tell someone your name
I just get tormented on the fact that my surname is similar to MacDonald, so i get random annoying folks who can't pronounce my surname properly thinking they're hilarious by acting as if i'm an employee at the fast food joint
And in case you wondered, my surname is McDonnell

[Ibis]

Wolfie, my previous stepfather-in-law WAS named MacDonald and he absolutely refused to ever set foot in a MacDonald's Restaurant. His mother also had the bizarre notion that Cain & I might steal his kilt?! Why, I have no earthly idea.

Hehe i refuse to step foot in a MacDonald's restaurant becuase i find the food disgusting
As for the kilt thing...while the kilt is part of both Irish andScottish traditional dresswear, i have no idea why his mother would think that

[Wurlon]

My Surname is total pwnage.. (rapists look away!) it is... Trainor !!!!!! ooo sparkly lmfao

If you can think of anything stupid, I "train" you in it ;P, or at least that what kids used to tease me with! With my name spelled out.. it sounds like I can train Shawns!

Now if my first name had been Gaylord ..... Gaylord Trainor :rofl: but thank GOODNESS its not ;p



Eh while I'm smiling, have one for the road!

[minque]

Ok.....my first name is Monika, I usually call myself Monique.....and the funny thing is.... it means....advisor!!!

[Ibis]

Wow, cool Minque ... Monique. So I see where you got your Forum Nick from. And to mean advisor is totally appropriate. Monika is nice too. Reminds me a little of the Archie and Veronica comics back in the fifties for some reason. Like American Bandstand days ... Happy Days. teeheehee

Hehe...well actually I was thinking of the lil´furry animal....."mink", and thought I´d deviate it, make it more interesting....also there´s a band called Minque, check out this link:

Minque


Then of course it´s also an elvish word......

[Ibis]

Hey that band is cool, I put them in my Favo Column. I tried to download some tunes but it just played them in msn media player.

I have always thought of the furry little animal when seeing your name. But what does it mean in Elven? I tried to look it up but couldn't find it on any of the Elven dictionaries I've got.

Hehe..yeah the band is fairly good! Oh and there´s a nightclub in Canberra, Australia, named Minque as well!

I think the elven word minque means "eleven" at least the elvish they use in LOTR.

But I´m still that furball...m´kay...
