French occupational name for Woolworker. Not as eccentric as I'd imagine, but whatever

hehe... mine means "field of barley."
And my first name is a region in France... thankfully, my middle name is a little more redeeming--it means 'elder sister' (which is true) or 'keeper of the keys.'

Librevore Wrote:My name is probably pretty obvious. I would "starve to death" without a steady diet of good books. I have even been known to buy a book before food so "bookeater" just seemed appropriate. Instead of being an omnivore I'm a librevore.
Kate
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 'librevore'. I shall totally use that. ©Kate, of course....
in response to the actual question... My name's Hannah. most people call me Hanni. Hanniribi.. Hammurabi.. Cheesy, I know XD
What's In A Name? - PonyGirl93 - 04-06-2010
PonyGirl is pretty self-explanatory, although there is another explanation if you're familiar with the horse world... There's a horse trainer named GaWaNi Pony Boy (who I was totally obsessed with when I was younger!!! I collected articles about him and put them on my wall, and I got to meet him & get his autograph and I was grinning from ear to ear :p ) So PonyGirl is kind of a for-good-old-times-sake
93 is obviously the year I was born...My real name is Julie, but most people call me Jo. My last name is hyphenated (thanks mom!! :ack: ), which really confuses people
, so I usually go by Julie W-A in real life [:
What's In A Name? - Tasman - 04-06-2010
Okay, I like this topic
My user name is Tasman. I use this for all my usernames etc. It is in reference to my direct descendant Abel Tasman..who discovered New Zealand, Australia and has other places names after him, Tasmania, Tasman Sea. He is my Great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.
My first name is Gavin. It is of scottish and welsh origin meaning 'white falcon'
My surname is McGregor. Obviously originates from Scotland, and it simply means 'son of Gregory'...whoever he was?!
What's In A Name? - jacanyardie - 04-06-2010
Mine is an effort of homage to the land of my birth... Jacan is short for Jamaican and Yardie also refers to a Jamaican....
What's In A Name? - ZsaZsa - 04-07-2010
Zsa Zsa brings to mind a fluffy blonde with attitude...right dahlings? However... the real Zsa Zsa is my demented half-Siamese pictured on all my posts. She is fluffy and brims with "cattitude"...but we're not blonde.
I borrow her demeanor when I need some attitude of my own-but real name is LaVonda.
