I can guess your name too. It's one of my favorites. In fact, I gave it to my oldest daughter as her middle name.

The origin of my name is Hebrew and it means house. I spend a lot of my time there lately. My middle name comes from a Greek word meaning light or bright. Not a lot of brightness in my life lately. My last name is Belgian.

be the first target of any English attack (it was
as far south as you could go and still be in Scotland).
Their motto consists of the French words meaning "never
behind". The name would this suggest standing your
ground in the face of an enemy attack, and thus
protecting the people behind you.

As for my family name: The clan MacNeill is said to
be one of a group of five clans that can trace
one line of their ancestry back to the fifth-century
Irish high king (or shogun, in effect), Neill of
the Nine Hostages.
My first name (Conway) comes from the Celtic for Hound of the Plains. It also happens to be the Welsh for Holy River.

My second name (O'Neill) also happens to be one of the clans descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages. They were high kings for a time, and Hugh O'Neill led the resistance against the Tudor conquest of Ireland.

Well if you couldn't guess my name is Mike, or

MICHAEL...

Named after the Archangel Michale, who will lead the forces of light to defeat the armies of Satan... assuming you believe in Bible, specifically the book of Revelations..

Personally I would be happy if the world would just leave me alone..

My middle name was originally from a comet that was in the news and later flew over our house when I was a baby.

My first name is German and means industrious. My mum picked it when she was 10 years old; apparently she always knew she was going to have me.

... My names mean 'Respectable', also 'God's gracious gift'.
Sure want to embody those again soon.

My full name means:

1st (Arabic) God is my Judge
2nd (Arabic) The Usurper
Surname (Anglian) Man of the North/Viking People

Sounds like something from Game of Thrones. I'm actually from a really old family. Got records in the Domesday Book. Sadly I am the last and only person in the world with my surname, so the family dies with me. I'm the last Viking in England. : /
Thanks for this!
