Hm fun!

Tippins I am not sure. It comes from Tipping Hall, which was something...somewhere in England? est ~1400? by a Lord Tipping or something? I do not know what it means, it sounds silly and drunken to me, or else he lived at the tip of the town.

---

My surname seems to be derived from Daniel. So

---

...man I guess.

Amanda Nicole: Lovable victory of the people

---

My surname is much more difficult because it stems from the name of an old country which was ultimately from a really old group in Europe. I haven't found a solid souce yet, but I have read one etymology that suggests that it could mean "(The Land) near the Russians." I'm willing to give someone the name of the country if they want to try researching it.

Elise- My God is an oath
Marie- 'rebelliousness', 'wished for child', 'sea of bitterness', 'beloved'? Take your pick!
Anali - grace
Bolton - 'house settlement'
*surname*- protection

---

I can't make anything out of that, I have too many names!

First name: Pure (possibly)
Middle name: My god is an oath.

---

You know, after those two, I sound as if I should be in a nunnery.

---

And last name derives from a word meaning rabbit. Doesn't fit with the other two at all. Behind the Surname says it was a nickname for a timid person.

---

Therefore, I am a timid pure woman of god. Doesn't fit me at all.

FN: Work
MN: Hope
LN: Little Rock or Handsome

My name means foliage fairy. If my family had kept the name from "the old country", then the last name would be son of strength. I don't know what my last name means, so that is kind of a moot point.

---

What's interesting is that (as one can see from my posting name) I am female.

---

By the way, Ceolsige: love the signature (so do most of the BtN :kitty: delegation.)

---

Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

First name: "good"
Middle name: "of the Lord"
Last name: ?

Lissa: Nickname of Melissa, which means "bee"
Hannah: "Favour" or "grace"
Surname: "Woodland"

---

How's about, "a bees graces woodlands"?

Given Pavlos' enthusiasm... (this got long and unexpectedly scholarly)

---

I'll answer, but personally mine's a yawn. Lillian Angèle is simply "lily angel;" perhaps it makes more sense to say "lily-like angel" or "angel of lilies."

---

My maiden name literally means "moody," as in emotionally labile (!), and my married last name literally means sands, as in desert or, more preferably, beach. Not sure how to add all those up; "emotionally labile angel of lilies in the sands," I guess, but... yikes!

---

Just for extra flavor, here's a picture my husband thinks is nifty, of an angel on the beach; she even looks moody!

---

And one I like of an angel with lilies, though no sand is involved and there is no reason to think her moody.

My kids:

David Alexander - beloved defender (love this!)

---

Lillian Scarlett Mahalia - distinctive woman with red lilies (see my defense of this meaning below)

---

Sophia Ophelia Seraphina - wise, helpful, fiery angel (!)

Heather - heather
Georgette - farmer
Last name - person from Scotland/Scotsman (fairly obvious what this is, but since it's a fairly common ln, not too worried about it)
So, I farm heather in Scotland. Better than farming heather anywhere else, I suppose. I am NOT a farmer, nor am I good with plants in any way, btw. ;)

---

My family:
(nephew)
Curtis - courteous
Mother's maiden name - Scotsman
Last name - moss
*'Courteous Scotsman' sounds better than 'courteous moss'. :b

---

(mother)
Shirley - bright clearing
Juanita - Yahweh is gracious

---

(father)
Franklin - freeman
Delano - ?

---

(sister)
Candis - queen mother
Eloise - sun

---

(brother)
Nicholas - victory of the people
Franklin - freeman

Ariel = "lion of god"
Valerie = "to be strong"

---

It would be too easy to find out my surname based on its meaning, so I am not going to share that. :-)

---

A strong lion of god? :-)

---

My brother is Calvin (bald) Darrell (of Airelle). So a bald person that lives in Airelle?

---

My dad is Darrell (of Airelle) David (Beloved). So Beloved of Airelle?

---

My mom is Nancy ("favour" or "grace") Jean (Yahweh is gracious). Yahweh is gracious and favourful? xD

First name:
-Pure / Virginial beauty

---

Middle Names:

---

Surnames (Double barreled)
-Twin
-Wite/bright

---

So I'm a pure Frenchwoman with a twin who is either bright(as in intelligent.) or pale

---

:0)

---

Catherine: in the folk etymology it means "pure". I'll just go with that meaning since the etymology is uncertain, and that's the most pleasant option.

---

Ann: Grace

---

Surname: Ruler of the world (it's a variant of O'Donnell: http://surnames.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=odonnell)

---

So . . . pure, graceful ruler of the world? I like. :)

---

First name: Fair, white, smooth

---

My brothers -
Eldest: Who is like the Lord (mn has no meaning)

Stacey- Short form of Anastasia or Eustance
Lynn- Lake
Surname- From the elements 'God' and 'Protection'

---

yeah, no idea.

I don't know what our last name means. All I know is that it's very uncommon. As in there are only two families who came to this country whose name was changed to that spelling. One was from Cologne. According to my father in-law, their family was from Scotland. But I can do first and middle.

---

Mine
FN - old, wise river
MN - my God is an oath

---

Husband
FN - victory of the people
MN - handsome

---

Son
FN - son of the south

So yes, quite disjunct.

"To behold"
"Page"
-My last name isn't in the database!

---

Fun idea!

FN: Marjoram (Marjolijn)
MN1: Beloved (Maria)
MN2: Yahweh is gracious (Johanna)

Interesting :p

My first name means Noble
My middle name means Ireland
And my last name means Messanger (or something similar)

---

So I guess I could be Ireland's noble messenger, which is pretty cool :-)

Hmmmm... My first name is "moonlight" and my last name refers to the area/village in India my family originated from.

---

"Moonlight over (insert town here)"?

Well my full name would mean:

---

Dew of the sea, downy-bearded, soft and gentle (or sweet).

---

An interesting combination!

---

I like the meaning of my surname the most, even though I used to hate it as an actual name.

I'm a horse from Laurentum who will add. ;D

Before I knew a lot about names, I used to "know" that Ellen meant "light", and that therefore my full name, Christine Ellen, meant Christian Light. I've gone back and forth in my religious beliefs, but at least some of the time I thought it was pretty appropriate.

---

These days, of course, it's Christian St Elmo's Fire or Christian Torch or Christian Moon, or possibly something else as yet undiscovered.

---

My whole name means Christian - St Elmo's Fire - Wood Home (or variants . . . I like St Elmo's Fire as a meaning!).

can anyone help with mine?

---

I don't know how to put mine together..

---

favour or grace (Anne)
my God is an oath or my God is abundance (Elisabeth)
sea of bitterness, rebelliousness, and wished for child, beloved or love (Maria)

---

my LN is not in database (but is a place name)

---

My boyfriend:
A ruler of the army from Hadria
who is also a maker of ale or beer

Paula Mary -small beloved one prehaps or rebellious small one
With my maiden name it could be at a stretch Beloved small one decended from Robert
With my married name Small Beloved one worthy of a horse lol

lol, great question. Can't do much with mine though

I am Laurel, or Victorious by analogy, + Heather and son of the fair valiant one. So I'm a valiant, victorious, blonde warrior (who runs a garden centre)

My sister is God is gracious, God is gracious, son of the fair valiant one! (Shona + Jane = the same thing twice!)

---

My dad is heel holder, son of the fair valiant one, lol.
