Mine's Spiro, as in my all time favourite US VP.

Mine's Cargill (ker-GILL), which is our old paternal-line Scottish family name before it was changed for strange reasons 100 years ago.
It means "white rocky place" in Gaelic, and derives from a near-defunct village near Perth.
I never use a middle name except when we visit the Auld Country, where the area east of Dundee is still crawlin' with Cargills and bein one from America is sometimes good for a free drinkie at the pub...

Hey, Nanaea. I'm in the midst of reciprocating what you did with my name. I just need to get my professor's attention just long enough to find out which one of two words is the correct one. Gaelic is soooooooo fun.;) Back atcha soon, I hope.

Hey, cool! Thanks! I'd love to know what I am in Irish! This March 17th, instead of just wearin' green on St. Pat's Day, I'll also wear my new Irish name! :D
I'll have to re-reciprocate by anagramming your name! (Although I suspect that PriaposLovs could do a better job of it than I will.)

Mine's Faye, from the Middle English word for spirit. ;)
I have translated my first and middle names into Irish just for the fun of it. (Sidhe Uaine for those who are curious.) :)
Has anybody else done something similar?

Translating names
I like translating names into Esperanto, the international language. Elements from your combined first and middle names happen to form a very pretty, original name in Esperanto:
"Verdafea" (pronounced, vehr-dah-FEH-ah)
"Verda" means "green" and "fea" means "fairy-like".
